How to turn off the airliner crash event
I enjoy this mod quite a bit, but I wanted to keep playing past the first week as if it were a regular Zomboid game, after the outbreak.

There's no option to turn off the guaranteed airliner crash right now, so you can do the following:

Navigate to your Steam workshop folder. This is usually at

C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\

You'll want to look for folder 108600 (zomboid)

From there, you'll need to navigate to folder 340318054 (The Mod ID)

You'll then go down to mods, BanditsWeekOne, 42, media, lua, client

From there, you can open BWOScheduler.lua using Notepad (or your preferred plain text editor)

Ctrl-F and search for "plane", the event name is something like "PlaneCrashEvent" (I also disabled all the jetfighter/bombing runs just in case)

You can remove the entire line for the plane event, it looks something like this (not the exact text):

tab[000][0] = {"PlaneCrash", {}}

Save the file. Now after the first week you can run around and try to survive all the bandits/zombies/etc as if you were in a (mostly) regular zomboid start. There will still be all the other events in the mod, except now you're not going to get Final Destination'd by a plane every time.

Surprisingly I accidentally rewrote the code as shown above instead of removing it and it pretty much activated the plane event the moment you start (with a few secs to get into a car and run).

Just goes to show the importance of reading first, the good news is; new game mode! :D

Anyway great guide! Now I only have to worry about the bandits next door who spawned in the roof. 10/10

void above I could kiss you for this, thank you. The idea of it is cool, the way it happens is not.

I'll take a look at what is causing the stuttering though I suspect its the NPC car pathing again - make sure if you changed your NPC cars from 4 to 5+ in settings preset to disable see if solves it. Running on potato laptop here getting around 20 FPS with 10 cars. Re changes on those lines just remove the word 'not' from the lines indicated in BWOEvents.lua L1265 (jet gas/bombs) L2249 (plane crash) - when event is triggered will resolve 'is player true' and exit out of the function without running the event code.

from lines: If Not player then... delete not and save events.lua
these events are turned off entirely.

shout out to Gummybear for this!
saved my games a ton of headache
