[Mod Request] Biter alerts for specific areas only

Post by creekz »

Is there any mod that gives you a radar structure or something similar that detects biter attacks in its proximity?

My main base is heavily fortified with lots of walls and turrets, so I could care less when my base gets attacked and the alert noise only annoys me.

I could turn off alerts completely, but I would rather have a method of only alerting me when any of my newly built and poorly defended outposts gets attacked.
Is there any mod that does this?

How do you completly turn off basic alerts ? (you can put the alert volume to 0, but I still have the icons on the minimap).

contains the property showalertgui (among others).

showalertgui :: boolean [Read-Write]
  • Show the flashing alert icons next to the player's toolbar.
EDIT: only removes the icon from the toolbar, not from the minimap too as I suspected.

Yes, I saw that, but I was looking in the classic interface.
Maybe you should ask supercheese if he wants to make an addition to his popular Red Alert mod : viewtopic.php?f=92&t=19579
