Leak scan range increase no longer works

[Vanguard22]

Previously to 8.0 changing the crosshair.distance.spacesuit value in parameters.xml:

Code: Select all

<parameters>
...
<environmentobject>
...
    <crosshair>
      <!--
        crosshair.distance.max        // max distance for the crosshair cone
        crosshair.distance.mid        // distance for the crosshair cone, where the parametervalue equals crosshairMidValue (NOTE: stored squared!)
        crosshair.distance.mid        // min distance for the crosshair cone (NOTE: stored squared!)
        crosshair.distance.midvalue   // parametervalue at crosshairMidDistance
        crosshair.distance.sizefactor // controlled object size factor
        crosshair.distance.spacesuit  // start distance for scanning object size range from a space suit
        crosshair.distance.start      // start distance for scanning object size range
      -->
      <distance min="10" mid="40" max="100" midvalue="0.12" sizefactor="0.75" spacesuit="5" />
    </crosshair>

allowed to change the distance for scanning data leaks while in the spacesuit. Any change to this value now has no effect. Anyone know why? Also interesting "start" is missing, not sure when that went away.

Can someone please figure out why this doesnt work? It is my only hope of completing the Teladi casino research. My leak spawned on the inside of the spinning ring...

We'd need to ask a mod to ping a dev because as I said the config file (parameters.xml) doesn't appear to have changed, it's now simply being ignored, so there's likely nothing we can do on our end as it seems the devs have rolled it into the core and now ignore the config option. Hoping either I'm wrong or they are willing to reverse that decision.

Did you ever find a solution for this or get a reply elsewhere?
