This hasn't really worked for me, since 7.0.. Instead of making me able to scan from far away, it requires me to just about crawl around on top of source for it to register..
Oh well, was fun while it lasted.

This and the mode that was stated to inspire it (Scan range increase) both no longer work with 8.0 Alas.

I can confirm what bhorton22 said: no longer functional in 8.0 beta (release candidate)

Tested for 8.0, and I'm afraid it no longer works

Just tested, still seems to be working in 7.5

яяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяя

It definitely isn't working now. I'm back to sticking my face into the sparks...

Pretty sure its not working anymore

@Sanctus Demon Haven't tested it yet, but I've had no complain yet, so maybe it still works. I'll get around starting a new playthrough to test it next few week.

just checking before i add, does this still work in 7.5?

Updated to latest version, it should work, I think.

The mod hasn't been updated to 7.0 yet, I probably won't have the time to test the game until late July or August, but if someone finds a fix before that I'll update.

Not working with my game 7.0.

As Doomstrike is asking , this is still working for 7.0? :-/

Is this still working in 7.0? Could just be me but I recently started a new game and it feels like you still have to get really close.

Thanks for the mod, works great. Its so much nicer being able to get signals that aren't stuck in the geometry of an object.

Is there anyone that made this mod to work? I went to the folder and altered like @Rumpus did but no dice

It wasn't working for me, so I changed the [@spacesuit='5'] back to [@spacesuit='2'] and it started to work again.

simple, and efffective! but there is one teeny tiny problem...

GIMME MA BACON!!!

Ahhh. Thanks for this! I was so sick of wasting EMPs early game for a bug that apparently has been around since the start. Note to anyone else who loads this in desperation: Don't save when you're in your spacesuit when you're right next to the station. When I started I was thousands of kms away and moving further away at a high rate. Luckily I'd already unlocked teleportation.

@Two Broken Legs Normally the signals should always be outside of the collision model, sometimes that means that you can go through visible walls with some station modules.

So if the signal is unreacheable it's probably a base game bug. But if that bug shows up often, you can increase the range of the scanner by editing the .dat file under "X4 Foundations/extensions/spacesuit_bluetooth".

The mod is just one line of code so you just need to change the 10 into whatever you want. If you don't want your change overwritten by a steam update you can download the mod on Nexusmods and chantge the xml file.

Hi any chance you could increase the range a bit more please? The station collision boxes can be further than 10m from the signal, ex argon habitation. The surface is a long way below the collision box.

Updated the mod, implemented the fix from kei073 tell me if it's working. Can't test the game personaly yet.

can confirm that changing [@spacesuit='2'] to [@spacesuit='5'] in parameter.xml seems to fix the mod

has this bee updated?

@kei073 I'll try that edit, you guys tell me if it works when I update this weekend.

For this mod, i think you just need to change
[@spacesuit='2']
to
[@spacesuit='5']

I haven't got around to update my mods, the latest version of the game breaks quite a bunch of mods that my other mods are partly dependent on, so it will take some time to fix them.

I just installed this mod, but it does not seem to work on the latest release and DLC? I get to about 7m and still can't scan.

This mod is very necessary in the game. Especially when the sector is overloaded and everything is lagging behind in the spacesuit

@Steve O Malley you ever find a fix for this? Does it for me too, this and KO's

@Steve O Malley activate debug log add the lines " -debug all -logfile debug.log " to your steam start options.

@Steve O Malley, that's very weird. Can you report the bug on the nexus page and post a link to the a pastebin of your debug.log

6 pages of mods and a handful from nexus, but adding this to the load order gives me an infinite black loading screen at game startup (cannot get to main menu or splash video) where I can only move my mouse around, unfortunately

@Shane I just modified one variable so it shouldn't do that. Try to load a new game with just my mod or deactivate save compatible mods one at a time. (Pro-tip make a collection of your steam mods for easy reinstallation, and save a profile of your nexus mods with vortex before doing that)
It also possible that you've hit a number of active mod limit.

Throws the game into an infinite loading loop for me for some reason.

but yea it really helps

10m is more then enough for me felt weird how far i could scan at first

Also thanks y'all for the support! Don't forget to endorse KO's mod too without which my lazy ass wouldn't have found that darn variable.

@one-stop killing if 10m is not enough you can modify the .dat file using notepad++ just change the 10. if there's enough requests maybe I'd be willing to equip your spacesuits with Wi-Fi lol.

thanks chief i remember when i wanted to scan something but it was buried deep inside of the object it was on so i could never scan it so i hope this mode will make it way better for me once i make my modded new game

A god among men

btw.. thank you! =^..^=

Ahh there is the guy who asked for it, yay he found your mod, great, i just was mentioning it at your nexus mod page, lol.

You're welcome, I got sick of that ridiculous scan distance, I guess it implied that you were actually jumping cables, but the spacesuit controls are horrific so f that lol.

Hah exactly what I was KO asking for 4 days ago. Thanks! :D
