[MOD] Fly-by Looting

[Assailer]

I have started porting some of my X:RB mods.

First one is Fly-by Looting: http://game.mage-online.com/public/fbl.zip
This mod will scan for dropped loot around your currently piloted ship in 10km range, and of course loot them. It's perfect during/after dogfights to gather stuff.

Big containers are not picked up by this mod, only ammo and small inventory items - used for crafting. Check your personal inventory to see what you have, also watch out for illegal wares!

If you are worried about illegal wares, install also my other SecretStash mod: viewtopic.php?f=181&t=403571

Change log:
1.03 - small changes in locating items. Script will execute every 10 seconds now.
1.01 - added mode check, so the mod is only active only in normal mode. To get rid of unwanted items, move away 10km, change cockpit mode to 'scan' SHIFT+2, drop the unwanted items, then leave the area before switching mode back on.

Install instructions:
Create a folder called "extensions" in your game installation folder. This is where all mods will be copied later on each in their own folder to separate them.

The extracted mod files should look something like this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\X4 Foundations\extensions\fbl\content.xml
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\X4 Foundations\extensions\fbl\md\fbl.xml

[Assailer]

Let's see how long before Steam Workshop is opened. In the mean time i will check Nexus or share as zipped archive.

@Assailer:

I was on the Nexus pages only a few Minutes before your last posting here.
Sorry to dissapoint you, but on Nexus isn't even an entry for X4, so no mods from there at this Time.
Maybe in a few Days.

Where do i download it? just use dropbox or google drive or something.

[Assailer]

Uploaded to my website until Steam Workshop opens, this will be left awailable here.

1.01 - added mode check, so the mod is only active only in normal mode. To get rid of unwanted items, move away 10km, change mode to any of these: travel/scan/scan_longrange, then leave the area before turning the mode back on.

is up and running now

Will this cause your game to be marked as "modified"?

[Assailer]

I think if you use any kind of mod you will get the modified flag.

This mod is save file safe, meaning it doesn't create stuff in your save file. All it does is calling official looting routines when it finds wares around your ship.
So it can be disabled anytime you like.

This doesn't seem to work, I have other mods installed that are working fine, but I still need to get within 100m and hit the magnet key to get loot, in normal flight mode as well.

[dragon71uk]

Can`t seem to get this too work either.

[Nibel]

doesnt work for me too, still have to ram loot to collect.

Working fine for me, you do realize that the check only runs every 15 seconds right? So you may have to wait a bit. Personally dropped the range down to 1km and upped the frequency to 5 seconds, seems to not cause any extra lag (at least not yet)

However, it seems to be grabbing the actual wares as well, instead of only just personal inventory items/deployables, reading the description I thought it wasn't supposed to grab that stuff?

Thanks for the mod. I use this with Secret Stash. Good times.

Yes, thought we try this time to pick up everything we can. X:RB was only dealing with inventory items and ammo. I might change this later when Steam Workshop opens.
