Scan Tweaks

Scan Tweaks – Scan farther, scan faster

Tired of flying right up to signal leaks, data leaks, ships and stations just to scan them?

Scan Tweaks massively increases your scanning capabilities so you can detect and scan things from much greater distances without having to nose your ship into them.

What it does

• []Signal / data leak range is massively increased

  []Ship short-range scan range for signals / data leaks is ~5× vanilla.[/]

  []Spacesuit short-range scan range for signals / data leaks is ~10× vanilla.[/]

  []You can now target and scan leaks from a comfortable distance instead of having to be right on top of them.[/]

[]Ship scanner range is boosted

• []Mk1 short-range ship scanner: ~1 km vanilla → ~10 km[/]

  []Mk2 short-range ship scanner: ~1 km vanilla → ~20 km[/]

  []Scanning ships is much easier[/]

[]Optional long-range autoscan

• []Requires SirNukes Mod Support APIs.[/]

  []Enable it in Extensions > Scan Tweaks Settings.[/]

  []When you fire a long-range scan ping, autoscan will automatically find and scan all ships and stations within 200 km.[/]

  []Detected ships and stations are automatically scanned up to the scan level supported by your currently installed ship scanner.[/]

  []Per-type toggles: Auto-scan Ships on/off, Auto-scan Station Modules on/off. Master switch for long-range autoscan on/off.[/]

  []Long-range autoscan is off by default. Ship autoscan is off by default. Station module autoscan is on by default.[/]

How it works

• []The mod changes the short-range scan crosshair distances used for signal / data leak targeting and raises the ship scanner ranges.[/]

  []The optional autoscan hooks into the vanilla

  event_long_range_scan_sent event. It does not change the long-range pulse itself, it just automatically applies

  set_object_scanned / set_known / clear_fog_of_war to everything the pulse finds.[/]

• []Designed for X4: Foundations vanilla scanning mechanics.[/]

  []Optional long-range autoscan requires SirNukes Mod Support APIs.[/]

  []Uses clean diffs. Should be compatible with most other mods unless they also modify

  environmentobject/crosshair/distance or scanner ranges.[/]

Installation

[]Drop the

zipscantweaks folder into

X4 Foundations/extensions/[/]

[]Enable the mod in the game’s Extensions menu if it is not automatic (should be)[/]

[*]If you want the autoscan features, install SirNukes Mod Support APIs and open Extensions > Scan Tweaks
