Laserzwei's Asteroid respawning sectors notifier

This does also work on the "Asteroids do not respawn here" notification, which I had to uncomment to get working but appears to work with "false" to stop the pulsing as well.

Hello there @Laserzwei, I contacted the devs for some help on this as I was trying to figure out how to stop the icon "pulsing". The function addShipProblem has a final variable "withHighlight" that can be set to false. This will stop the "pulsing" behaviour of the icon.

So, on line 28 of data/scripts/entity/detectrespawningasteroids.lua you can put "false" at the end of the addShipProblem arguments, like so:

addShipProblem("respawning asteroids", Entity().id, "Asteroids respawn in this Sector"%_t, "data/textures/icons/diamond.png", ColorRGB(1.0, 1.0, 1.0), false)

I've done this locally and tested it and it seems to work fine!

I'd love to see a version of this that did not have the icon "pulsing" every few seconds. Personally, I find it very annoying.

If nothing else, wouldn't it be possible to make a version that - on first entering a system with respawning asteroids - only displays the pulsing icon for around 60 seconds or so before making the icon disappear?

Actually, instead of displaying a pulsing icon, I'd much prefer a version that merely sent a chat log message or gave a brief pop-up message whenever the player first enters a system with respawning asteroids.

For anyone looking for the respawn mod (as the link accidentally goes back to this same one), it's here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1692998037

The link seems to direct me back to this very page... is that deliberate?

There is a basically hidden checkbox top-right in the Galaxy screen before entering your savegame. You have to tick it or new mods won't be added

Notification doesnt seem to appear for me. I subscribed here and ticked off the mod in-game under settings -> mods. Is there additional steps?

Id love this feature as a module which you have to add to your ship, maybe add the feature in the mining or some radar module on permanent installation

That does work on the server, thank you so much. Actually, Amarum, those sectors are not so often, but mostly they contain mining stations, so look for those.

I've extended the mod to also show where asteroids do not respawn
