[0.95.1a] Scan Those Gates (v1.3)
« on: May 26, 2022, 10:35:46 AM »

Scans all gates that do not have 'Inactive' in their name at the beginning of a save when Nexerelin 'Skip Story' option or the Skip Story mod is enabled.
Has no effect if you complete the Galatia quests yourself. This mod is safe to remove from an active game.

A very big thank you to Wispborne, Timid, SafariJohn and ruddygreat for their help getting this working and fixing bugs.

Changelog
Spoiler
v1.3: Fixed a crash caused by not having Nexerelin enabled, added support for the Skip Story mod.

v1.2: Added version checker integration.

v1.1: Fixed crash caused by some gates added by mods, added error logging to starsector.log to identify which gates are causing issues.

when you say "that don't have inactive in them" does that mean all the gates in the core/modded systems? so only gates in undiscovered systems remain unscanned?

Currently, the mod checks the names of the gates to determine what gets scanned. All of the core system gates are named after the system they are in, so they get scanned. The procedurally generated gates are called "Inactive Gate" so they do not get scanned. This makes it so it will also scan gates that are added by mods that create custom systems.

Sir, I have a problem.
Will this mod work unusually if inactive gate's name is not "Inactive Gate" in other localization?

There are a few things that could cause it to not work properly. The mod checks for the presence of either 'nexerelin' or 'skipStory' in the mod manager before doing anything, so if those mods have a different id in your localization, that would cause the mod to do nothing. Another issue is the method used to scan the gates, if it cannot find 'Inactive' in the name of gates, it will scan every gate it finds.

The source code is included with the download in the jars folder as a src.7z file if you would like to compile it yourself. Alternatively, I could help with that if you provide me with the characters used for 'Inactive' in the localization, and the mod ID from translated versions of Nexerelin and Skip Story
