[Request] Enemy Attack Alert mod (change to vanilla)

Post by Targa »

Hi all. One thing that I find very lacking in the vanilla game is the alert system for when your turrets kill enemies. The "triangle alert symbol" can last as little as 1/2 a second, it seems, if it's a single biter rapidly killed by one or two turrets. The problem with vanilla is that the alerts vanish so quickly from the map, that many times I end up having to guess where the attack occurred, or wander around looking for corpses. I'd love to see a mod that simply forces the map icon to stay on the map for 30 seconds (or could be configurable).

I'm not the only one with this issue either. I was watching a Let's Play on YouTube the other day and the guy said the same thing. "I wish there was a mod that made these alerts stay on the screen a bit longer".

This one goes to development suggestions, really. The most of ui is unavailable to modders.
There's also that Remote Control mod, which texts you messages when something is destroyed in the vicinity of named radar.
I do mods. Modding wiki is friend, it teaches how to mod. Api docs is friend too...
I also update mods, some of them even work.
Recently I did a mod tutorial.
