This is a great idea and thank you for implementing it so well too.
Unfortunately in some sectors it's still incredibly difficult to find crystals with this method. Due to this triggering on the crystal itself, the occlusion often makes it difficult to see the glow effect (and the ping is rarely seen at all.)
If the ping could trigger on the parent asteroid, it would likely work better - but I'm not sure how easy it is to trigger the effect on the parent object.
There are sectors where this works fairly well, and certainly improves massively on the Vanilla method.
This is pretty great. If I had one complaint it's that the "ping" effect is triggered on the crystal itself and not the asteroid, meaning that it gets occluded by the asteroid if it's on the opposite side from where you are.
Hello! I am trying to use your mod, but I cannot for the life of me get the settings to appear. I am not sure if this is your mod or API related, however in any case, using the latest Mod Api (also tried to install UI extensions and HUD trying to troubleshoot), I do not see the settings for this mod "anywhere" (I imagined they would appear probably as a section in settings, but also tried to look in the extensions menu etc).
Any ideas? If you get latest Mod Api does it work for you? My game is obviously updated to latest.
I figured it out. In the end it was a wrong installation of this mod, the mod API and UI extender hud which all need to go in the main X4 extensions folder and not the documents extensions folder. Maybe could be noted in the description (that it needs to be installed in the main game folder)?
