📋 About This Mod
TLDR: Adds "Show on Map" buttons to ship event popups (attacks, plunder demands, inspections, lockboxes, trade docking, and more). Focuses the map on your ship and, if applicable, the other party involved.
Part of the GS QoL mod collection.
Game version
- 9. 00: Supported
- 8. 00: Supported
Installation
- Requires GS: Library mod
- Requires Protected UI Mode to be off (Settings -> Extensions)
What
Adds "Show on Map" to ship events like "Ship Under Attack", "Found Lockbox". On event shows buttons for own ship, and if applicable, the other party.
Why
Vanilla popups tell you something happened but require manual lookup to find out where. Which can be suboptimal..
Handled events
Shows both your ship and the other party:
- Ship Under Attack (+ attacker)
- Pirate Plunder Demand (+ pirate)
- Found Abandoned Ship (+ derelict)
- Found Lockbox (+ lockbox)
- Docked to Trade (+ station)
- Illegal Cargo / Inventory (+ scanner)
Shows your ship only:
- Ship Inspected
- Out of Ammo
- Found Contraband
Notes
- Found Abandoned Ship / Found Lockbox: Selecting "Show on Map" closes the dialog and triggers the ship's default action (e.g. ignore, claim, collect). Configurable (see below).
- Inspired by Mycu's Show Conversation Object on Map.
Settings
(requires "SirNukes Mod Support APIs" mod to be installed)Action after map-open: Controls what happens after "Show on Map" closes the abandoned ship / lockbox dialog.
- Ship default (default): Ship executes its configured response (e.g. ignore, claim, collect).
- Ignore: Ship always ignores, regardless of configured response.
Event toggles: Each event type can be individually enabled or disabled.
Performance impact
None. Event-driven, no background activity.
