Is there anyway to make this mod not cause the Modified tag?

This mod is great!

Now i can finally check what missions are available without flying around the sector. I hate how the stations only display one mission symbol

Not that I'm aware of... pretty sure the only kind of mods that don't cause a modified tag are usually graphical changes. Because this changes one of the game files it's guaranteed to give a modified tag.

This doesn't appear to work in 2.7.1

works as a mod in 3.0, but doesn't seem to work as a fake patch :\

still working fine for me in 3.0 as a fake patch. One of my must haves. maybe a conflict with something else?

Will it be updated for 3.1 soon? As it seems it doesn't work for me anymore after updating to 3.1

It should already be 3.1 compatable. If you installed this mod as a fake patch to v3.0 or prior and then updated to 3.1 then the chances are that you have overwritten the fake patch as 3.1 (and some prior updates add extra CAT/DAT files). To recover from it all you need to do is re-install the fake patch (but make sure not to overwrite the vanilla CAT/DAT files)

I have the mod running as a fake patch in 3.1. I found that it only works if you set it as the highest numbered FP. It still works fine if you put it into the mods folder, but then you're not allowed to run other mods from there.

Is it possible to modify this to only work in sectors that have advanced satellites?

HotSake · Post by **HotSake** » Sat, 28. May 11, 07:30

Nope. It contains a modified version of the Globals.txt file which defines a lot of basic values for the game. There's no conditional range to alter since comm range was never meant to change.

Added an AP compatible version for download, other one wouldn't work as the 'types' folder was stored within an 'addon' folder in AP cats.

rapidshare shows 0.0 MB for TC version
can't donload.

Tried AP version as next numbered Cat/Dat ,but does not work with TC.

Would love to add it to TC.

AP version works well in AP

Not sure you guys realize that if you use Cycrow plugin manager, in the advance tab you can change all the games global easily. Satellite range, scanning, comm range and tons more.

Not noticed that,as I use the light version ,which does not have the advanced tab.
But checked the advanced version.
Yes there is quite a list.
Might use it if all else fails.

UPDATE...

Was searching for another file on my PC and found some salvaged folders with it in.
Works fine now.

Still could be a problem for others who want to download though.
