"Impossible is possible" was taken previously. "Infinity and beyond" didn't fit. So, let’s keep it simple: "Notifications on Map - Always Prepared!" Say hello to a new mod that enables the Notifications Window while in Map mode!
Makes the Notification window available while the Map is open. Normally, game notifications are suppressed when the Map is displayed - this mod restores them, so you never miss an alert while managing your empire.
Features
- Notifications in map mode: The notification window is shown while the map is open, just as it would be in normal flight view.
- It still made by Egosoft: The mod does not create a new notification system, it simply "reveals" the existing one in map mode, by forcing it to be shown and adjusting its position to minimize interference with the map UI.
- Notifications still suppressed in other modes: Notifications are only shown in map mode - they remain hidden in other modes (e.g. station view).
- Configurable: The feature can be toggled on or off from Options Menu > Extension options > Notifications on Map without restarting the game.
- Compatible with X4 8.00 and 9.00, but currently published for 9.00 only.
- Can work with SWI - please check instructions in Forum tab on Nexus mods.
