IMPORTANT INFO:
With version 3.0 of X4: Foundations, the spawn behavior of the crystals has been significantly changed. Since then, there is a cool down for the crystals. The good news is, there are some mods that change this behavior back to the old. I have not implemented the fix in my mod so that everyone can choose how the crystals behave. Solutions:



DESCRIPTION

The CrystalFinder supports the pilot in an optical way to find crystals.

FEATURES

Adds glow around crystals, so you can find them more easily, the color is the same as the crystal itself. You don't need to search for sparkles anymore, you can just fly around and harvest the crystals.

COMPATIBILITY

Multiple mods which change the crystals shouldn't be used together, the exception is if the mod creator has tested his mod with my mod. Mods that change other aspects of the game are safe.

HOW TO INSTALL

Just paste the "CrystalFinder" folder to the "extensions" folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\X4 Foundations\extensions). Make sure the mod is activated in the main menu of X4.

HOW TO UNINSTALL

Delete the "CrystalFinder" folder

CHANGELOG

Version 1.10
  • Fixed: Some missing language strings that caused to crash the game or didn't load the mod properly.
  • Fixed: Reduced the size of the sparkle texture.

Version 1.20
  • Refactored: Cleaned up the whole project to optimize the compatibility.
  • Updated: Adjusted the colors of the crystals to enhance the optical look.
  • Updated: Some asked for a version where the crystals are more visible, so I added it, you don't need the main file for this.

Version 1.30
  • Fixed: The mod didn't load properly on linux (thanks to ihatethenexus69).
  • Updated: Added a version with red burnite (normal and increased visibility), instead of white.

Version 1.40
  • Updated: The light intensity of the crystals was adjusted to find them faster on the asteroid.
