All these steps are **more than tech'd away** by now, and you should follow the [Removing world objects with Removal Editor](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/modding-guides/world-editing/removing-objects/world-editing-deleting-objects.md) guide. {% endhint %} ## Video Guide Visual learners, celebrate: Proxima Dust made a video guide for this! Everyone else, proceed to the next section for a full step-by-step guide. {% embed url="" %} ## Create a Wolvenkit project 1. Create a [Wolvenkit Project](https://wiki.redmodding.org/wolvenkit/wolvenkit-app/usage/wolvenkit-projects#create-a-new-wolvenkit-mod-project) 2. Create an `.xl` file in your Wolvenkit Project's `resources` folder and name it after your world deletion (e.g. `delete_pacifica_fast_travel_terminal.xl`). * You can edit this file in Wolvenkit or in a text editor like [Notepad++](https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/) 3. Paste the following code into your .xl file: (we will adjust it later) ```yaml streaming: sectors: - path: your\path\from\red_hot_tools\ex_in_terior_99_99_0_0-streamingsector expectedNodes: 999 nodeDeletions: # this is a comment - index: 0 type: worldNodeType ``` ## Find something to remove 1. Launch the game 2. Go to the location you want to edit (see [Finding Locations](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-creators-theory/references-lists-and-overviews/reference-world-sectors/places.md)for a detailed guide) 3. Find an object that you want to remove and stand in front of it 4. Open your CET overlay ## Add the file entries ### About yaml editing `.yaml` files use **indentation** (the number of spaces at the beginning of a line) to organize entries in groups. This is easy to break! If you run into problems, you can check your file on [yamllint.com](https://www.yamllint.com/).\ If that doesn't help, see if `red4ext/plugins/TweakXL/TweakXL.log` has any hits for your mod. ### Do the work 1. Open the [World Inspector](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-creators-theory/modding-tools/redhottools.md#world-inspector) and switch to the `Inspect` tab. You will now see something like this:
2. The information in the screenshot above corresponds to your `.xl` file:
3. Adjust the file entries. Mind the leading spaces, because they structure the information! 1. for `path`, put the full path to your world sector as seen in RedHotTools (1., yellow on screenshot - `base\worlds\03_night_city_compiled\default\exterior_-35_-35_0_0.streamingsector`) 2. for `expectedNodes`, put the number of nodes in this sector (2., pink, 503 in the screenshot) 4. For each node that you want to delete, add an entry under `nodeDeletions`:\ `- index` (the - is important): the node index (3., violet in the screenshot)\ `type`: the type of the node (4., turquoise in the screenshot) 5. If you want to add moire sectors, add the following lines at the bottom of the file. Make sure that they have the same indent as line 3 on the screenshot above. ```yaml - path: base\worlds\path_to_your.streamingsector expectedNodes: 999 nodeDeletions: # deletions have this indent level ``` ### Testing 1. Run your XL file through [yamllint](https://www.yamllint.com/) and fix any errors. This will 2. Save the .xl file 3. [Install your project](https://wiki.redmodding.org/wolvenkit/wolvenkit-app/menu/toolbar#install-and-launch) and launch the game. If everything worked, your object should now be gone. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://wiki.redmodding.org/cyberpunk-2077-modding/modding-guides/world-editing/removing-objects/removing-objects-by-hand.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
