So remove them! Make your own mod that does not contain either item. At least, not for the player.

e.g. Make a new directory called anything you like (say, "improved"), and give it a subdirectory named "gamedata". Inside gamedata place a copy of this file: default/gamedata/game.ini

Now edit your new copy of this (i.e. improved/gamedata/game.ini). Change the title at the top of the file (e.g. "TITLE Weird Worlds: Improved"), and then find and remove the following line:

dr_hyper

Save the file.

You cannot simply remove the wp_projvrtx line, as there are enemies that use the PVC, so instead we'll make it unavailable to the player:

Make a subdirectory named "items" within "gamedata" and copy the default/gamedata/items/wp_projvrtx.ini file into it.

Edit this new copy and change the line "FLAG tech" to "FLAG tech nogen nowish" to prevent you from finding or wishing for the PVC.

Save the file.

Lastly, create a shortcut to weird.exe, edit its properties, and append " -game improved" to the Target field. Put the shortcut in your start menu if you wish, and use this to run the game. It will auto-select your mod, so you just have to click on the "Start" button as per usual, making it completely seamless to always use your mod.
