Scannable Tools (Modded tools support)

[hollow narwhal]

This mod allows you to scan all tools that normally aren't scannable.

For example, the shovel or zap gun.

But there's already mod X that does this!
Well, you're correct, but these mods don't support modded items.

For example, you bought yourself a nice Helmet Lamp from AdvancedCompany.
They love to hide inside foliage.
With this mod, you can just scan to find it 🙂

Well, here's the mod link, if anyone's interested:

Thank you, the feature in GI does not work with modded equipment and I always wanted to find a solution

[hollow narwhal]

You're welcome :)

If you find any bugs, please report them to me

[astral juniper]

Thank you for this great mod!

Just wanted to report an odd behavior, when I'm holding any item it seems that the scanner thinks some other item (here the hacking tool) is still in my hand and even scans it (although I'm holding a tea-kettle scrap here)?

[hollow narwhal]

Interesting, thanks for the info!

Going to fix it as soon as possible 🙂

[hollow narwhal]

I just updated ^^

1.0.1

* Fixed held tools being scannable

[hollow narwhal]

1.0.1 fixes this :3

[astral juniper]

Ooh already?! Wow thanks a lot! I'm gonna test it out right away! 😃

[versed pivot]

Erm, is there any chance this mod causes a bit of lag?

I play at 20-25 fps and this lowers it to 15-21… + lag spikes?

It’s probably a mod incompatibility though

[light vale]

Looks great! Can’t wait to try it out!

[versed pivot]

Yeah there’s a night and day difference when I use this mod :/ had to retest a lot of times, but its definitely this mod

I’ll send a modlist + dependencies list in a sec

The weird thing is that no errors show up in logs when the lag happens

018e1cd4-05bf-22fa-20a4-313b944c11e3

there's a code...

and there's a list of all the enabled mods in the code, if you dont want to immediately spend super long downloading it

[hollow narwhal]

I just bought 100 flashlights with your modpack and don't have any lag issues.

This might be due to our different hardware though...

I'll try to fix this issue though

[versed pivot]

dang, thats really weird. I seem to get the lag immediately, not even buying any tools at all

[hollow narwhal]

Can you check if using this version fixes the issue?

[versed pivot]

i will! do i just unzip this in the plugins folder though?

[hollow narwhal]

That's one way to do it

Just keep in mind that you still need the directory

[versed pivot]

whats the directory?

[hollow narwhal]

TestAccount666-ScannableTools

[versed pivot]

its not supposed to show up on the mod manager, right? (once unzipped)

[hollow narwhal]

Nope, since you didn't install it via the mod manager

I think this version should work better, @versed pivot

[versed pivot]

hrm the last version you sent me didn't seem to load for me at all (control f-ed "scannableTools" and then checked in game), I might have done something wrong :(

[hollow narwhal]

Try installing it via your mod manager:
Settings -> Import local mod

[versed pivot]

cool system :P I should manually delete previous versions of the mod before I do this though, right?

[hollow narwhal]

Yes

[versed pivot]

alright it seems the issue is gone, fps is now completely normal and no lag spikes whatsoever

Was the issue in this mod?

[hollow narwhal]

Awesome 🙂

[versed pivot]

was there even an issue 💀 it was me being delusional wasnt it

I have a lower-end computer so any kind of fps problem is noticeable for me

[hollow narwhal]

The issue was that I searched all children of an item for the ScanNode.

In the new version I added a component to the item to fix this.

Now I'm only searching the item, not it's children

[hollow narwhal]

You can try the old version to check 🤔

[versed pivot]

I'll try again tomorrow, but I just tried the old version again and it seems to like there wasn't an issue in the first place 😭 ugh sorry. Though, I think I've kind of confused myself and maybe r2modman by naming the locally installed mod the exact same as the one on thunderstore... It might be downloading the newer version from my cache instead of what I want to download

[hollow narwhal]

Well, no problem xd

Still, the new version should improve performance a bit anyway

[versed pivot]

thank you :D

[green venture]

Just a heads up that you can make the manager ignore the cached version when downloading in the settings

You can also remove it from all profiles and run the clear mod cache setting to also solve it

[hollow narwhal]

I noticed something funny with the keys in the latest Update:

Should I keep it that way, or switch back to the old behaviour (Becoming blue after you picked them up once)?

Or should I just leave the keys alone? (Forever green)

[steel oyster]

I would choose to leave it blue since it is more of a utility than a scrap

[hollow narwhal]

So... Make it blue after pick up? Or leave it teal?

Or make it blue in general?

[steel oyster]

Hmm, Make it blue after pick up if possible

[hollow narwhal]

Dropped an update :3

1.0.4

+ Added config to change how the key scan node behaves

[versed pivot]

hey, um, I know GI also lets you scan some items, and I'd disable it, but it has some pretty neat formatting and custom text on it. Do you think it's possible to get an option to disable this mod on certain items like the clipboard, which have extra GI descriptions?

[hollow narwhal]

I'll add a blacklist in the next update :)

[hollow narwhal]

Also Open Source now

[hollow narwhal]

1.1.0

+ Added item black list

[rough imp]

Does this work with V50?

[hollow narwhal]

I haven't noticed any issues so far 🤷

[keen ocean]

@hollow narwhal

May I ask for a feature request
If possible could you add a compat for the https://discord.com/channels/1168655651455639582/1196961566541762700 mod in which like keys until picked up they scan as green, and then turn into a blue scan node.
Or for future proofing add that as a config option where you can list items that have their scan node function as such

[dawn yoke]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[keen ocean]

always impressed u always find me no matter where i go

[dawn yoke]

im in most threads, you're not special

[keen ocean]

thank you for the consistent reminder 💜

[hollow narwhal]

I might add that config option.

About the batteries mod...

That mod was pretty buggy last time I used it. (Inventory locking, log spam, ...)

Is it fixed now?

[keen ocean]

Have had no trouble with it

[hollow narwhal]

I should re-add it to my modpack then 🙂

[dawn yoke]

oh hey

you're the perfect guy for this

@hollow narwhal imma need a mod that customises the colours of the scan node

i wanna scan my enemy and get confused whether im in a pride parade or playing LC

(because itll be rainbow and animated and cool and cute)

green red and blue are way too limiting of colours

[hollow narwhal]

Yeeee, more colors would be cool.

Need to figure out how I can manipulate that color

[hollow narwhal]

That looks funny

[hollow narwhal]

Ummmm, ooops 😅

But hey, the Scan Node is now a different color 🙂

Is that good enough, @dawn yoke? xD

[dawn yoke]

you made it blue

[hollow narwhal]

That's yellow ;-;

(The text was always blue)

Right now, I'm trying to change the background

[dawn yoke]

lol

[woven turtle]

Me when I put the mexico filter on lethal company:

[marsh salmon]

I found a ''bug''

The modded battery appear once in the normal green vanilla and in your blue scanning mode

[keen ocean]

https://tenor.com/view/hear-me-out-eggman-sonic-sonic-adventure2-gif-25292376

The reason this happens is because the battery already has its own scan node placed on it by the mod itself, to stop having 2 nodes on it go into the configs

and just type battery

probably

[marsh salmon]

ohh okay, thanks

[keen ocean]

I wanna know what this is

[hollow narwhal]

The same as above, but this option uses Regex to match the item name

[keen ocean]

Where would I find the regex of the items

(I’m an idiot)

[hollow narwhal]

This is regex:

[Bb]at(on)*

This will blacklist the following items:

Bat, bat, Baton and baton

[unkempt ingot]

to be extra clear, you don't need to set the regex option at all if you only want to use the above option of just matching on exact names

[hollow narwhal]

Yes 🙂

[hollow narwhal]

I finally made progress on the rainbow nodes :3

[keen ocean]

my EYES

good work

[woven turtle]

yippee!

[hollow narwhal]

https://tenor.com/view/yippee-happy-yippee-creature-yippee-meme-yippee-gif-gif-1489386840712152603

[dawn yoke]

Oo nice nice

[light vale]

eyoo

[dense plank]

Clipboard is already scannable, this mod overlaps with the default

[dense plank]

Never mind, found the blacklist, but blacklisted as default or removed would be nice

[inner prairie]

Scannable Tools (Modded tools support)

[nocturne condor]

This should probably be blacklisted by default at some point!

[hollow narwhal]

Just pushed the new version

[bright adder]

Just discovered an issue with this mod that affects the cruiser. When you place any tool on a cruiser and then walk into the tool, it causes the cruiser to shift around. I'm guessing it may be because the scan nodes have funky collision or something

ive had this issue 100% of the time so hopefully its trivially easy to fix

[crisp mantle]

Ohhhh so this is what causes that

@clear vault

Thy culprit hath been found

Zap guns will no longer cause the cruiser to go brr after learning thy knowledge, this mod shall be removed

🤭

[clear vault]

no mod, sadge

[crisp mantle]

I'll just enable the option for scannable tools in GI in the meantime

Til TestAccount can return and fix this

[hollow narwhal]

Since GI's implementation does the same thing to make tools scannable, this won't fix anything

[clear vault]

Is the implementation identical or just functionally the same

[hollow narwhal]

Creating the ScanNode is basically identical. We also both create the ScanNode at Start. Although, GI uses a Prefix and I use a Postfix

[crisp mantle]

I can double check if your mod still makes the cruiser freak out when I drop a zap gun in it

Maybe Matty's mod is fixing it, but I know it's not happening with GI's option

I'm not saying I don't believe your mod isn't doing the same thing but the zap gun very much made the cruiser freak out before

Which is why I'm wondering if something is causing it to have a collider when your mod is present

[hollow narwhal]

If my mod was the problem, GI would suffer from the same thing though...

I'm not modifying any collisions

[crisp mantle]

Hmmm

[crisp mantle]

I never said you were, from the person reporting the issue it sounds like a collider is added where your scan node is and moving into it shoves the cruiser

I'll see if I can repro it with GI but I remember the time a zap gun made the cruiser freak out

Yeah no

this issue doesn't happen with GI

I can walk all over the zap gun

and it's fine

Only your mod

[hollow narwhal]

Okay, now test with ScannableTools

[crisp mantle]

idk why

Will do

But I know this 100% happened before for my group

If it repros with ScannableTools I'm gonna question why lol

[hollow narwhal]

I know that. I don't think it has anything to do with ScannableTools or GI though

[crisp mantle]

Yeah maybe not but we'll see

[crisp mantle]

UMMM

LOL

With scannable tools

the second I stepped on the zap gun

The cruiser launched

[hollow narwhal]

That makes no sense at all

[crisp mantle]

LMFAO

[hollow narwhal]

As I said... GI and ScannableTools do the same thing when creating a ScanNode

[crisp mantle]

Well

Idk what to tell you

I stepped on it

Cruiser launched in the air

@clear vault

[clear vault]

aight

[crisp mantle]

I started laughing so hard

I didn't expect it to launch the damn cruiser

[crisp mantle]

It's probably some weird edge case in the code somewhere

this is odd

[hollow narwhal]

Please test 1.1.3, @crisp mantle

(For a quick test a manual install should suffice...)

[crisp mantle]

My pov when I stepped on the zap gun and the Cruiser just went boing was so funny

[crisp mantle]

Seems to be fixed

Lol

What was it?

[hollow narwhal]

I just made the collider a trigger (Which GI doesn't seem to do, but oh well...)

[crisp mantle]

magic

[frail cypress]

Could you add a config to turn off the battery % being shown in the scan node?

[unreal otter]

Issue /w shotgun shells

Their green and blue scan nodes are present at the same time

[hollow narwhal]

I'll fix that soon™

[unreal otter]

KidnapperProotofJoy

[covert plume]

just checking in about a thing - is it scannable tools that is causing both a blue and a green node preset to show up?

[hollow narwhal]

It is. You just need to blacklist those items

[covert plume]

roger roger o7

[unreal otter]

So...

when will this be addressed?

[hollow narwhal]

Ummm 😅

Today or tomorrow 🙂

[unreal otter]

FoxStare

[hollow narwhal]

@unreal otter, @covert plume, overlapping Scan Nodes are finally fixed with version 1.1.4

Sorry for taking so long

I'd like to request for a config that disables being able to scan tools while inside the ship

please?
