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.
Lugzan 5 May @ 12:02pm 
still working

Seems to be working fine for me in 7.5

seems not compatible with 7.0.. game does not start
Tsetan Gyurman 15 Jul, 2024 @ 4:25am 
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.
nephilimnexus 25 Jan, 2024 @ 4:05pm 
Alas.
CreatorOfWorlds 3 Jan, 2024 @ 1:37am 
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.
nephilimnexus 2 Jan, 2024 @ 1:35pm 
Can I use this on abandoned ships?
Gnimo Tiefenhain 19 May, 2023 @ 12:01am 
@Drysyn for me the quest was still working. Maybe just a bug from the Game itself and not mod related?
Drysyn 4 May, 2023 @ 8:26am 
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
LisanAlGaib 29 Apr, 2023 @ 3:27pm 
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.
Dred 24 Apr, 2023 @ 8:18am 
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.
jpinard 11 Aug, 2022 @ 1:07pm 
So that little yellow pentagon thing?
KO  [author] 11 Aug, 2022 @ 12:48pm 
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.
jpinard 11 Aug, 2022 @ 12:41pm 
What should I see when I find one at maximum distance from this mod? (Sorry I'm new and soooo lost)
KO  [author] 11 Aug, 2022 @ 10:25am 
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.
jpinard 10 Aug, 2022 @ 10:52pm 
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
DerKnaechter 2 Jun, 2022 @ 1:15pm 
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!
Multox 29 Mar, 2022 @ 6:03pm 
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
RaPriest 23 May, 2021 @ 9:16am 
Oh I see. Thanks for great mod btw, saves a ton of time.
KO  [author] 23 May, 2021 @ 9:05am 
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!
RaPriest 23 May, 2021 @ 8:44am 
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.
The Terran 22 May, 2021 @ 1:50pm 
Thanks for the info. Instantly subscribed. :D
KO  [author] 22 May, 2021 @ 11:43am 
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.
The Terran 17 May, 2021 @ 3:55pm 
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.
KO  [author] 5 May, 2021 @ 2:52pm 
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.
Josh Fardreamer 24 Apr, 2021 @ 7:51am 
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.
Helge 24 Apr, 2021 @ 4:43am 
Nevermind... The stations I scanned just had no data leaks, lol
Helge 24 Apr, 2021 @ 4:16am 
Hmm I cannot get the waymarkers to appear when entering scan mode near a station. Any hints?
Heretic 23 Apr, 2021 @ 4:23pm 
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.
Heretic 23 Apr, 2021 @ 3:44pm 
That's what happening, but I'll keep checking to make sure I don't have some kind of mod conflict.
KO  [author] 23 Apr, 2021 @ 3:31pm 
Hey! It only effects the scanner when you're aboard a ship. So if you're scanning leaks on ships or those created with EMP bombs you still need to get pretty close to them.

If it's requiring you to get close while on a ship let me know and I'll check it out.
Heretic 23 Apr, 2021 @ 12:55pm 
I tried out your mod and it seems to work as advertised, but I was curious as to why I still need to basically touch signal leaks to get the discounts/commisions/blueprints?
KO  [author] 17 Apr, 2021 @ 6:52pm 
I'll look into it!
requiemfang 16 Apr, 2021 @ 11:10pm 
curious if it's possible to increase the range the scanner while in the spacesuit? been going around trying to scan leaks not spawned by emp bomb to get BP and stuff since my luck with lodestones is pisspoor atm. Noticing a LOT of the leaks are inside the station geometry outside of the reach/range of the spacesuit scanner. Quite annoying it is.
Jessa Doom 15 Apr, 2021 @ 10:21am 
No oh No it's not you please don't worry i will get to sort my end out over the weekend, by the look of you pictures i think i will need the mod at some point.

I think what is needed is a permeate radar combining the two mine scanners in a sweep mode and if LR detect something we get a direction (the scan colour) blink till we face then a Hud ring pulse, the SR scan runs in background till we are in a certain range of stations and it take over the LR and same direct blink and face on pulse in that colour.

The ship scan mode scan auto within range of any/all ships thus would make the scans more realistic of their use like how real scanners work in the real world, or would this be too much information to handle.

I'll let you ponder over this idea.

6 DLC and your mod. No other mods
It was.
KO  [author] 15 Apr, 2021 @ 6:40am 
Yep. As I've said, the mod probably conflicts with another mod. But not this because I'm using it with no issues. As I'm having no conflicts myself, I don't think it's on me to find out where the conflict is.
Jessa Doom 15 Apr, 2021 @ 6:29am 
I see another player is having the same issue as i did.

I will get around to investigating at my end soon, though sorry to say i haven't done much leak scanning lately so not all that rushed in doing lead scans, and only do them if i stumble on them .
