Anyone actually be able to remove the eleos console visuals with vertigo? PC

I've been super busy lately so just finally getting around to throwing that on my builds and used the commands found here https://old.reddit.com/r/sto/comments/1h9hcex/eleos_intel_scout_vessel/m17kdod/ and added them to my vertigo txt files and no change, the spinning colors still showing up.

Anyone manage to remove those annoying visuals?

Yep, it works on them. Or at least, the `dynFxExcludeFX` command works on them, I didn't bother with Vertigo.

Couple ideas for troubleshooting:

  • The post you linked to misspelled "shield" in one of the ability names. It's not actually misspelled, the game has it correctly as Cfx_Ship_T6eleos_Power_Matrix_Shield_Third
  • You have to disable the animations before activating the console. Running the command after the console is activated has no immediate effect (but it will prevent the animations if you turn the console off and back on again)
  • Is it possible that your Vertigo command is too long and these are getting dropped for being on the end?

Oh holy crap I am dumb. So with your confirmation it works I went into my file and fixed the spelling on the shield but still no change. So then I changed what it says on activated to make sure it's loading the updated file and that didn't change in game.

I was editing the wrong file lol. I was in the main sto folder not the sto/sto/live folder. So edited that one, changed the activation text, remembered to use the keybind command again, and now it's working!

Well I feel dumb as hell but at least it's working and I can go finish updating all my builds now. Just for the anniversary bundle to probably add something to make me have to redo them all again lol.

Pretty sure there is a backup on the sto nexus mods site but it's evidently down right now
