Better Item Scan is a mod for the game Lethal Company, it makes it easier to scan a group of items to see the price of each of them listed, as well as their combined total and calculates which items meet the quota

Config options for:

Showing The 'DebugMode' that visually shows the change in width of the scanner
Allowing changes to the width of the scanner
'ShowShipTotalOnly' allows you to see the total ship amount only on the ship
'CalculateForQuota' calculates the scanned items if they meet the quota an mark it with '*', if the scanned items don't meet the quota the items won't be marked
'AdjustScreenPositionXaxis' & 'AdjustScreenPositionYaxis' are to help adjust the ui on the screen's position (recommend adjutments for ultrawide users or also downloading the ultrawide mod)
'ShowTotalOnShipOnly' allows you to see the scanned amount only on the ship
'ItemScanningUICooldown' allows you to adjust how long the UI Stays on screen
'FontSize' allows you to adjust the size of the text on screen. However this may have to be done manually in the Bepinex config folder
'ItemTextColorHex' & 'ItemTextCalculatorColorHex' allows you to change the colour of the text of the UI for items that meet the quota and items by default
'logAllScannedItems' that allows you to output the log of your scanned items into the output log

Hello!
I tried the mod earlier today and I thought I saw that this scanner can see scraps that are on the other side of obstacles. (I men, if it is in your point of vision, but on the other side of a wall, the scanner detects it)
Is there a way to deactivate it?

smoky tree Dec 1, 2023, 2:09 AM

#

the game lets you scan through walls already but because it spawns the ui on top of the items they don't show

i will shorten the range

#

because it is very long, i will also check if its a layermask issue

smoky tree Dec 1, 2023, 5:37 AM

#

you can no longer scan through walls

brave kelp Dec 1, 2023, 9:40 AM

#

thanks for the update but seems like everytime i have betterscan on i see a purple texture weirdly

#

do you think you know what could be the case

#

mostly on the left side of the ship if you are looking at the door or main monitor

smoky tree Dec 1, 2023, 4:29 PM

#

Sorry for the late reply, I haven't noticed this in my tests but it might be to do with the debug mode I used to see whether or not I could change the spherecast in game. There will be another update later today then

Hello, I have tested the mod with this update and I have noticed the improvement, despite everything, I have a small suggestion:
When you are off the ship, can you have the "Ship Total" part removed?
Or at least it is a config so that those who want can have it activated or not outside the ship

smoky tree Dec 1, 2023, 8:02 PM

#

I'm not quite sure there is a way to check if the player is in the ship already, if not I can add an option to show the ship's total when the player is close to the ship

eager tulip Dec 1, 2023, 8:05 PM

#

smoky tree I'm not quite sure there is a way to check if the player is in the ship already,...

There is a mod that does it, it only shows the amount of money that is in the ship when you are in it

Hi @smoky tree , i have an ultra-wide (but not using any wide-screen mods), and my list is sitting off-screen for me, like this:

#

a wide-screen mod does fix this, but it should probably take that into account so that its not necessary to get one

hazy rampart Dec 3, 2023, 9:30 AM

I also don't seem to be seeing the * before the names of things that would meet the quota, not sure why

I haven't thought of this being an issue before but I am glad the wide screen mod fixes this for you

i had edited the quota to be like 20, and had 150 of scrap in my scan

smoky tree Dec 3, 2023, 10:28 AM

Ok that is interesting

#

I have implemented the ui adjustments already.

#

How are u adjusting the quota?

hazy rampart Dec 3, 2023, 11:01 AM

#

smoky tree How are u adjusting the quota?

was editing with LethalCompanyScalingMaster UI in-game

smoky tree Dec 3, 2023, 11:03 AM

#

After the upcoming update can u let me know if the issue still happens

hazy rampart Dec 3, 2023, 11:03 AM

#

sure

#

i was also going to ask, does it assume 100%sell price or does it grab the current sell % before calculating?

smoky tree Dec 3, 2023, 11:32 AM

#

It gets the items value directly when u scan it so it shouldn't interfere with anything. It uses TimeOfDay.Instance.profitQuota

ah, does the actual value of the item get adjusted based on the current shop sell %? if thats the case I hadn't heard that before.
I thought the items were a set price and the sell% was applied at sell-time

smoky tree Dec 3, 2023, 2:30 PM

#

I think there are mods that adjust the item value depending on weather conditions and things such as an eclipse. I don't know if that's base game though

#

Hopefully the latest update fixes the quota calculation issue u mentioned before

stark crown Dec 3, 2023, 2:34 PM

There are no benefits to weather in basegame,
This is a good mod that does add benefits though

WeatherMultipliers v0.2.0

hazy rampart Dec 3, 2023, 2:34 PM

#

I do have that one. i was more thinking about whether the quota calculation takes into account the fact that by default the shop would only buy at 30% value on day 1, etc

hazy rampart Dec 3, 2023, 2:37 PM

#

smoky tree Hopefully the latest update fixes the quota calculation issue u mentioned before

i do notice that with my quota set to 25, it appears to only highlight the top piece worth 21

Hey, your mod is really awesome but is there a way so that I can make it that the "Total Scanned" part only shows up in the ship? Kinda like the ship total config but for the whole ui itself so it can be like ShipLoot but better basically

it only disables the base game 'total' ui to show my own

is it possible if ya'll were able to edit the "Creature data collected" to actually showing what was collected?

or like a hud popup to the team when a enemy is scanned

Hello, would it be possible to make this Scan have the vanilla Scan cooldown?
We noticed that when spamming the Scan, it does not have a cooldown showing the objects even though the effect continues with the cooldown

where they modded items or vanilla?

Update: Added adjustable fontSize to the config (this may need to be changed in file) and adjusted quota calculation reading the overall quota and not what is needed to fullfil the quota

devout tundra Dec 18, 2023, 5:54 PM

#

smoky tree Does it still persist even after the update?

No

versed basin Dec 19, 2023, 12:36 PM

#

can u make it so u also have the scrap calulator mod somewhat integrated?(it shows what items u can sell to just meet the quota)
u could make it so items appear red on the side thing if they are enough for it, this can help if u dont wanna waste loot

smoky tree Dec 19, 2023, 4:24 PM

#

Update: added colour options to the config that allows you to tell the difference between items marked and none marked by the quota calculator

hexed nebula Dec 19, 2023, 4:38 PM

#

sorry if this is a dumb question but does this make scanning more consistent? i find sometimes i scan items right in front of me in the facility and they just dont pop up on my scan and was looking for mods to help mitigate/fix the issue

smoky tree Dec 19, 2023, 4:55 PM

You can change how wide you are able to scan with this mod but I don't think that will solve ur issue

Update 2.1.7 i out it shows multiples of existing items now in an effort to not clog up ur screen

dry onyx Jan 4, 2024, 5:46 AM

#

@smoky tree hello! on the latest update (2.1.7), the scrap item list in the UI just straight up doesn't appear for me. i can see the total scanned & the ship total, but it doesn't show scrap items. something odd i noticed was that, if i had calculation enabled, the moment i loaded into my save i could scan once and see the scrap items listed, but afterward if i tried to scan it wouldn't show them anymore (of course, with calculation off, the scrap item list wouldn't show up - period). this was all on a fresh profile with just the mod & bepinex, so there shouldn't be any mod conflicts, and i was on the default configuration (though i toggled on & off calculation). additionally, i've downgraded to 2.1.6 and it works perfectly on that version.

the scrap item list still isn't working if calculation is disabled. however, with calculation enabled, the odd bug i noticed seems to have been fixed, and i can see the list (although when it lists multiple of a specific scrap item type, it only seems to list the value of one of the items, not sure if that is intended behavior). anyway, thank you for the prompt update 😄

smoky tree Jan 5, 2024, 4:20 PM

#

One bug down another one shows up. Like a really annoying hydra....

formal thorn Jan 5, 2024, 4:36 PM

#

on another note, how easy would it be to manually override the monetary value for keys?

#

the game displays that they sell for $3 everywhere

#

except that they dont actually contribute to the total if you put them on the counter and sell

#

you can verify this by selling a key on its own or with only one other item

#

paycheck will show "key: 3, other object: x" but then total is x and that is what gets added to your quota

#

or total will be 0 if you only sell keys

#

betteritemscan still factors keys as $3 in the "ship total" and ui list which makes it slightly overshoot the actual value of your items

smoky tree Jan 6, 2024, 2:27 AM

i'm assuming thats how vanilla does it. Which is kinda stupid i admit but that just seems like a problem to do with the base game.

in the game and wiki keys are said to have a value of 3, if i change it now a lot more people will be confused and think that its a bug. It seems an unneeded change

#

However an update is out that fixes the issues lichefrost mentioned. Update Solves some issues with not using the calculator and the items that there are multiple of now have a combined total. e.g. 2 x tattered metal sheet 22 (1 being worth 10 and the other 12)

#

i just think it's worse for them to be factored into quota calculations and totals when they aren't actually worth value

hopefully it will actually get resolved in vanilla

awesome!! everything seems to work as expected so far. i'll let you know if i notice anything down the line, but right now it seems to be as it should. 🙂

#

well perhaps one issue: if there's enough items being scanned, the item list can end up going off-screen at the very top. i suppose i could lower the font size, although i could see an option that automatically scales the font size to avoid going off-screen interesting if possible. other than that, everything looks good 😄

#

i have two last suggestions: one is to have a configurable option to allow the list to show the values of each individual item (for example, something like 2-Bottles: 47, 52), and a configurable option to perhaps use a shorter version of item names (so something like Wedding Ring could be shortened to Ring, for example) in an effort to save space.

for the group of two apparatices, they just don't show up period - but it seems like other groups of items (like laser pointers, for instance) will sometimes get listed, just very inconsistently

smoky tree Jan 21, 2024, 1:06 AM

#

Hi, i looked into the code so far an issue with giftboxes has been fixed. However small items will be sometimes missed, you can change the radius of the item scanner in the configs but as of now betteritemscan doesn't change how items are scanned

#

Update is out. Also added a config option so u can see ur scanned items in the console. It directly prints the text from the screen so u will see the hex colour as well.

lavish schooner Jan 22, 2024, 3:01 PM

#

Have you considered adding the possibility to display the value of items in your inventory / hand when scanning, like LCItemValue? https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/DeathGOD7/LCItemValue/

It just displays total inventory value above your hotbar, but isn't configurable
