So is it working or not? I'm also not joining a discord to find out.

I'm not joining some shitty discord to report that your mod is broken

crashes

This mod is no longer functional. Just crashes Space Engineers. Same with Material Scanner.

Alternately if for some reason you refuse to setup an account or are not old enough to setup an account, perhaps you could have someone else report your issues on the discord trackers on your behalf.

@NotTildaSwinton Weapon scanner issues should be resolved, I do not believe it is in an authors best interest however to have to monitor bug reports from multiple sources, it is better I feel if they can focus their attention in one place and then be able to modify their mods accordingly to their determination and time. Discord can however be used from a web browser and the account setup only takes a few seconds.

I will only suggest an alternative then, like Github.

Do not post bug reports here.

From the description, I don't troubleshoot, give technical advice, or have discussions in the comment section. That's what the Discord is for. Comments get lost to time, but discord histories can be searched and referenced.

NotTildaSwinton, I understand if you don't want to create a Discord account, but you must understand that is how I manage to provide support for 30+ unique mods, nearly all of which are entirely code.

Well, not crashing anyway.

Oh what fun, lets poke at it with a stick.

I don't have a discord account. When I click on a Weapon Scanner from my ship's terminal, it causes the game to crash instantly.

Yes. If you are having issues, please report them on the Discord.

Is this still working?

Sounds easy enough, thanks

It'll work while on a subgrid. The results are always written to the Custom Data of the scanner block. The LCD part won't work, since it only checks the current grid. However, I think you can use something like Automatic LCDs 2 to display the Custom Data to an LCD on the main grid. Or you can just write a simple PB script to display the Custom Data contents to an LCD.

Is there a way to make this work whilst having the scanner on a sub-grid? I want to use it on a custom turret attached to my base to scan nearby cargo ships

Nix, glad to hear it!

Ninja, to give small grids a little edge.

Well no problem it seems to be working now

why only large grid ships?

Steam isn't showing all mods in the mod menu for some reason. I don't know if it's a Steam issue, or a Keen issue. You can help motivate them to fix the problem if you went to Keen's support site and opened a bug. Sorry :(

So is this like a mod? When I go to the mods menu thing, I don't see it there. I first figured this out when I tried to put a weapons scanner on my ship, but there was no "weapon scanner" option on the hotbar when i put it there. Yes, I am subscribed to it, but it just doesn't appear in the mod menu for me. Can you pls help me?

@D3MO3D I may eventually. I'm working on some other stuff right now though.

@Patrick Any plans on making a small ship version of this? would work perfectly for a scouting and reconnaissance small ship I'm working on :)

@BlazingImp77151, yes it works with the Warfare 2 weapons and DLC just fine. :)

does it work with/will it work with the new DLC?

Yes it works with weapon core, and is therefore amazing. :D

Does this work with weapon core? It would be amazing if it does.

cool thank Patrick i keep my eye on you workshop periodically and you take care as well

Hi captain_uzziah. That's a very specific request, but I might be able to do something interesting with it. Thanks for the suggestion. Check my workshop periodically or join my discord (linked above) for updates. Take care!

hey I have a request can you make a Life'Tech-Powers (Eng/Esp/De) Deuterium storage LCD Script so me and other know how much Deuterium we have please and thank and if you say it This somewhat already exists here in Automatic LCDs 2 ya it somewhat exists in Programmable blocks from and sever i on ban Programmable blocks so im asking for a lcd script

Hi Jimbo1676, there was a bug in the original default configuration values. Delete the config and restart the game and you should be good. If you've customized the config and don't want to lose your changes, just update the WorkingPower setting so it's 3 or less. If you have any other problems, feel free to jump in the Discord linked above and file a bug report and a log file if possible.

Hello, I love the cargo scanner but I'm having an issue with the weapon scanner. As soon as I activate a scan the weapon scanner powers off. What am I doing wrong?

Ah! My favorite compromise: do both! :D Yeah, I can add a configuration option. It'll be in the next update most likely.

I have an idea, what if turning off the weapons hides them from the scanner? That way we can scan, we can have stealth ships or guerrilla warfare vessels or whatever, plus it could add a level of complexity

@Crysis Revelation, thank you. I certainly didn't intend to spoil anybody's fun. It seemed like a fun thing to do and I appreciate that you can appreciate the effort.

By "stealth" ship, I think you mean what I would call a "Q" ship, right? Something with hidden weaponry? That's a very good point. You are correct, this does see through that.

Some potential ways to integrate the scanner while preserving the value of a Q ship would be to hamstring the scanner a bit. Options include increasing the scan duration (say 30 seconds), increasing the power consumption (100 MW -- currently a bug prohibits this but I'm working on it), increasing the cooldown (say to 30 minutes), or possibly through the use of a block-limiter (like 1 weapon scanner permitted per player, similar to how BAR are restricted on many servers).

Regardless, thank you for taking the time to comment and giving me something to think about!

While this completely defeats the purpose of building stealth ships, armed merchant haulers, and hidden bases, I applaud your skill and effort.

Awesome! Sounds very cool!

I can see some cool security stations or ships made with this!

This could be perfect with small grid support

Glad to hear it!

i can see myself using this thing frequently because damn that is a really nice thing to know what you have to deal with

@Palpatine Hello, that's awesome to hear! Yes, I've joined the discord and opened a ticket. I look forward to seeing how the mod(s) works out for your guys!

Hello, I am reaching out representing a nexus server, we are going to field these tonight and add them into the cluster. They are, amazing. Such an awesome addition to the community, thank you for these blocks. If you'd be interested in getting up to date live feedback on the backend and player feedback open a ticket in out discord and we'll follow up with you. There is also a pretty high chance we can get you some assistance with getting models for these, looking forward to hearing from you, thanks again for the cool toys.
