Only unscanned station modules are coloured (red)

Removes the layer of colour on modules when a station is scanned, except for the modules that have not been scanned.

The unscanned modules appear in red while the other modules look as they are in normal, no scan mode.

Colours provide nothing useful, on the other hand, graphic details are hidden behind a layer of colour.

Flying around a station when its true colours are displayed makes more sense and is more aesthetic, IMO.

Installation

Copy the directory 'only_unscanned_station_modules_are_coloured' in ...\X4\extensions  (where the DLCs are placed).

Uninstallation

Delete the directory 'only_unscanned_station_modules_are_coloured'.

Doesn't affect savegames.

That mod is practical when searching for leaks on station modules: Signal Leak Hunter - Increasing Range.

The game language doesn't matter.

Compatible with Linux.

By editing the files of this mod, you can change the colour of unscanned modules or put back some colours to the other modules.

The pool of colours name is in (08.dat) libraries\colors.xml > mappings.

Just replace "red_moderate_glow" in colors.xml by any other colour code ("azure_dark", "yellow_very_bright_glow", etc...).

The fillalpha field in parameters.xml allows to saturate the colour layer more (bigger number), less (smaller number) or not at all (0).

To put colour on a module that is not the default colour, you'll need to add that module in colors.xml and adapt using the undiscovered module as an example.

If you want to mod this game yourself, an extractor for the .cat/dat files is needed:

It can be found in Miscellaneous Files or there:
