What is it?
=======

It's a new menu for salvage playstyle. Access with 1-6 when on the skunk.

I like euclid's autoloot mod, but it feels very 'cheaty'. This mod shows a list of salvage in the skunks radar range (35km) and allows the player to set course for particular items and collect as normal.

NOTE : currently ammo boxes are not shown on the list, just inventory and capital wares.

The mod is written on 4.0b4 but should work fine for 3.61 release game too.

Any comments, bugs, etc let me know

Once finished with ammo boxes and any issues I'll pop it up on steam and nexus.

Btw i wanted to change targeting a bit to add target modifier/cycle for containers, and other stuff like 'hard' target, bind/modifier for subsystem targeting - but i met several brickwalls (creating binds, and catching the event of targeting). Maybe it's easy for you to add the container target part if you know how to handle these things.

[YorrickVander]

we still cant add binds as for guidance to the container, check the second cue and the Guidance.xml in /md

I've given it a run yesterday, and I love it so far.

Here's a few suggestions:
-Allow to directly bind the salvage window to a hotkey
-Allow to set autopilot towards a crate with ctrl-a
-Add a column that show the category of the item (trade item or ware, and allow to filter the list by this column
...
I think there was something else, but I can't seem to remember what right now. I'll let you know if it comes back.

Great new function. Let us know when ammo boxes are included.

[YorrickVander]

Well key bind I can't do. We have no acces to those at all It is a much requested feature though.

Plans so far : add ammo boxes to the list. Fix the price bug. Get the colour highlighting working again (I broke it with a fudge to stop more than 1 of same item type overwriting one another on list).

As for ware type - yeah no worries. I can add an icon on the blank left column to show which is which.

Autopilot will (should) work if you target it first. Click on it then shift+a.

[Ezarkal]

The price bug, that's what I forgot!

Thx for the autopilot tip, I will try it.
