Now that I have permission from pez2k, the original author, I will be pushing updates to the (above) original mod page instead of this one, and this mod page will not receive further updates.

original description:

Don't like [character name here] screeching? Hate everything about [character name here]?  Don't want [character name here] in your game?
Too bad, deal with it.

Or, you know, if they're bots, you can get this mod.

An updated version of the original BlockThatBot mod, by pez2k.
This mod allows you to blacklist bot characters from joining your game.

• For any bots whose "Crew Management">"Preferred Character" choices have not been set (or have been set to "random character"), characters blocked with this mod will not be eligible for bots to join as.
• This does not affect other players' character choices, or your own "Crew Management" preferred character bot choices.
• Players who join as a blocked character will not be affected; however, the bot that replaces them when they leave will not be a character that you have blocked.

MenuHelper, the utility that allowed the original BlockThatBot mod to function, seems to have broken, and I can't find or engineer a fix. (I learned how to do stuff with MenuHelper as of Oct 2018, but this method still works fine so I'm probably not gonna go back and change the mod menu to MenuHelper.) So instead, I used QuickMenu, its dumber but easier to use smaller cousin. This version is future-proof in case Overkill adds more characters, although if that happens you'll probably need to scroll down in the list of characters due to the way QuickMenu works. There's a lot of dang ol' characters in the game, already, I tell you hwat.

New in this mod:

• Enable toggle for the mod
• BLT auto-updates

(Note: This mod uses saves separate from the original mod, due to a change in the way I chose to store the mod's saved blocked characters list. You will need to set your blocked bot characters, even if you had the original mod.)

Known Issues:

• Ugly as hell placeholder cover; no banner image; no mod icon
• Seriously though I don't know of any actual issues with the mod
