Disable Ideologies

[Jamforce]

I currently working on a total conversion mod. I have already removed buildings, units, eras, project, etc. but I'm unable to disable Ideologies, the popup appears immediately after the 1st turn. If i just make a delete of the ideologies, the policies panel stops to work. I understand that obviously is necessary some changes to lua, maybe to SocialPolicyPopup.lua, however i dont know how. Forgive me for the lexical mistakes (english is not my primary language) and thanks in advance for the help!

Try

<PostDefines>
  <Delete Name="POLICY_BRANCH_FREEDOM"/>
  <Delete Name="POLICY_BRANCH_AUTOCRACY"/>
  <Delete Name="POLICY_BRANCH_ORDER"/>
</PostDefines>

within one of your other XML files that updates the database

Thanks for the reply, i will try this soon, just the time to switch from ubuntu on windows

Try adding

<Defines>
  <Replace Name="POLICY_BRANCH_FREEDOM" Value="0"/>
  <Replace Name="POLICY_BRANCH_AUTOCRACY" Value="0"/>
  <Replace Name="POLICY_BRANCH_ORDER" Value="0"/>
</Defines>

as well, and then after you mod has loaded use a database inspection utility to check that the values of those three items in the Defines table are all zero

Thank you very much for your kindness, your first post was almost correct ...simply changed <PostDefines> in <Defines>

...simply changed <PostDefines> to <Defines>

Interesting As logically that shouldn't work Which implies Firaxis are doing something I wasn't expecting within the DLL before mods are loaded

Note that it works only if you have

<PolicyBranchTypes>
   <Delete>
	<Type>POLICY_BRANCH_ORDER</Type>
   </Delete>
   <Delete>
	<Type>POLICY_BRANCH_FREEDOM</Type>
   </Delete>
   <Delete>
	<Type>POLICY_BRANCH_AUTOCRACY</Type>
   </Delete>
</PolicyBranchTypes>

You can save yourself quite a lot of text (and lines)

  <PolicyBranchTypes>
    <Delete Type="POLICY_BRANCH_ORDER"/>
    <Delete Type="POLICY_BRANCH_FREEDOM"/>
    <Delete Type="POLICY_BRANCH_AUTOCRACY"/>
  </PolicyBranchTypes>

is functionally the same as your XML
