bgs without snoopers

Is there a way to install bgs but to somehow disable snoopers ? I find snoopers useless and annoying.
1) Download the BGS file, and open it up. Edit the manifest.plist and remove Snoopers from the "required_oxps" section. Pack it back into an OXZ and install it.
2) Create a folder called "not-snoopers.oxp" in your AddOns folder, and put this in it as
manifest.plist
Code: Select all
{
identifier = "oolite.oxp.Svengali.Snoopers";
"required_oolite_version" = "1.79";
title = Snoopers;
version = "2.5";
}
(Note that both of these methods only work because BGS only actually requires Snoopers for one optional component and will internally check whether it is available first rather than solely relying on the manifest to provide the dependency)
Whoever is maintaining BGS these days might want to consider moving Snoopers from "required" to "optional" in the dependency list.
