Strange, the mod isn't throwing any errors because nothing changed, it just seems like the game is now blindly ignoring the config option as of 8.0. I posted on the forums to see if anyone knows why, but it's had less than 6 views in over 24hrs 🤷‍♂️

hi , verdict? update possible or not?
thx in advance

Was gonna add, that it doesn't seem to work for 8.0 but can see you are already aware.
Doesn't have any adverce effects to keep the mod installed though, just defaults to vanilla range. So gonna keep it on, in the hopes that you manage to figure out how to make it work again.

Thank you very much for spending time on it. <3

Thank you so much. I know nothing yet about modding. I hope to add something useful like yours one day. o7

thx for this information... an good luck...

I am in the process of updating this mod. I am having difficulty identifying why it isn't working though. It appears something was added to prevent editing the range. I'm working on figuring it out.

need an update... please make it... thx

with 8.0 The data leak range is nolonger extended. It's back to Vanilla distance.

playing in 7.60 with VRO, working fine

Not working for me in 7.6.

Not working for me. Tested in 7.5 and have to get right up next to it to scan.

still working

Seems to be working fine for me in 7.5

seems not compatible with 7.0.. game does not start

Is still working for 7.0 ?
I would like to get back on the game...but I prefer going to hell than having to deal with the scans :D

To be honest, if it was longer for the suit, i fear i would cause trouble in some situations. as an example when you blow an emp bomb and get multiple data leaks close to each other.

Wish this worked on the suit scanner. Honestly space ship is annoying but fine... Suit scanner is completely bugged/broken and devs don't care.

I really wish this worked with the space suit, I'm so sick and tired of not being able to scan emp leaks on stations because they are in areas I can't get to because of invisible walls, broken hit boxes. It's always just 1 or 2 m out of range.

Alas.

No, you need to be in your space suit to access abandoned ships.
As far as i know, this mod only effect the player ship, not the suit.

Can I use this on abandoned ships?

@Drysyn for me the quest was still working. Maybe just a bug from the Game itself and not mod related?

Breaks the Project Genesis quest line (Terran Pests mission) where you have to scan a signal leak... the mission waypoint keeps jumping to new station and no amount of leaks you scan will be the right one

It would be amazing if this extended the range for the suit scanner too. It would help to work around the bug where signals spawn in visible but unreachable locations.

is this still working? Savegame compatible?

Yeah!

If you need help, I recommend the Egosoft Discord. [discord.gg] People there are usually super helpful, especially to a new player.

So that little yellow pentagon thing?

When using both this mod and the mod I mentioned before, it'll look a lot like the image above. Target a station, activate Scan Mode (CTRL + 2) and you'll see signal leaks as mission markers. The mod allows you to filter data leaks and mission offers by reactivating Scan Mode to cycle.

What should I see when I find one at maximum distance from this mod? (Sorry I'm new and soooo lost)

Yep still works! This mod only lets you scan signal leaks from further away though. If you're looking for help finding them, I recommend this mod.

Does this still work? I'm new and not sure what to look for when I'm a ways away.

You're welcome! Thank for you the comment :)

Hope your new run goes well

Nice! I´m looking forward to try it in a new game soon. Happy to help mate ;)
Thanks a lot for your work. Appreciate it!

It works now! Thanks, KO!

Thank you to those who pointed out the bug with signal scans not granting rewards. I removed the comments to avoid confusion going forward but I wouldn't have found the issue without you pointing it out.

You're welcome! Glad you like it

Oh I see. Thanks for great mod btw, saves a ton of time.

Hey RaPriest. The markers are from this mod. I used the mod for the video to show the distance better. Sorry that wasn't clear!

How to make these yellow markers to appear? When I enter scan mod, I dont see anything. If I aim at place, where comm leak hidden it is dcrypted, but I need to hower all over the station to find them.

Thanks for the info. Instantly subscribed. :D

Hey! It looks like someone took care of your request and made their own mod here. Sorry I didn't get it done, I've been super busy recently.

Hi, is there a chance to get a version that just works for the suit? I usually never use ships to scan data leaks only the suit, and I find that mechanic really good (higher chance of success). But there are some leaks that are turned inside the models and the range of the suit is just not sufficient to reach them, happens with the normal ones and the ones created by EMPs. Would be cool, maybe if you have time.

Ah I didn't expect it to effect that. But thanks for the workaround Khajiirah!

I don't know if it was a game bug or not, but please read.

As i was doing a "terran mission", where i had to get into a structure near planet earth, i had to fly around and stay off the scanner range of some terran ships. - It was impossible to play this mission with this mod enabled, because their scanner range was soo huge, i couln't get away after leaving or entering a gate, and the timer said: "Get off the scanner rannge, stay out of their scanner range..." but i couldn't get away. :o((

So the mod works fine, but for this one mission simply deactivate it, and reload the game, after mission done you can re-enable it again.

does this mod work for scanning ships, too?
for example the mission for the argons where i have to scan a xenon ship with energy cells on board.

Nevermind... The stations I scanned just had no data leaks, lol

Hmm I cannot get the waymarkers to appear when entering scan mode near a station. Any hints?

Just to clarify my issue... when I scan missions offers, they work just fine within the range of the modded scanner, but data streams just report back "Decrypting data stream... SUCCESS! Data decrypted." If I fly close to the signal leak as if I never installed this mod, I can start to see the discounts and other things working unlocking as normal.

That's what happening, but I'll keep checking to make sure I don't have some kind of mod conflict.
