MahInd - Info LCDs (No Pb) - Discontinued

Discontinued! Due to a lack of free time I am no longer working on this mod. However, the mod has been handed over to Godimas, who will give it a shot and will try to continue working on it here. I wish them the best of luck, and to all of you, fly safe.


This is a MOD, NOT a script for the programmable block. Extending the base code of dlK's no Pb Info LCD, I wrote a couple of info lcds that can be added to any LCD surface by simply selecting it from the list of scripts and modifying a small amount of settings directly inside the LCDs CustomData field, like textSize and screen offset. The screen-appearance is heavily inspired by MMaster's AutomaticLCDs 2 and should look quite familiar to those using that before.

$IOS LCD - Airlock Monitor
$IOS LCD - Cargo Summary
$IOS LCD - Container List
$IOS LCD - Damage Control
$IOS LCD - Door Status
$IOS LCD - Gas Production
$IOS LCD - Grid & Flight Info
$IOS LCD - Lifesupport
$IOS LCD - Power
$IOS LCD - Production
$IOS LCD - Systems Integrity
$IOS LCD - Weapons

$IOS LCD - Ammo
$IOS LCD - Components
$IOS LCD - Ingots
$IOS LCD - Items
$IOS LCD - Ores

After selecting an info screen, the Custom Data field of that block, found near the top of that LCDs settings inside the grid terminal, will be populated with all available settings like below, I will use the Components Summary as an example, as it is one of the biggest. Most screens will have the same basic options but less advanced. Item amounts are only available on inventory screens.


Most info screens are, by default, set up to be used on 1x1 large sized or integrated, inset and cockpit surfaces. Some surfaces might require minor adjustments on the screen offsets X and Y to fit. If you have too many items to fit vertically consider disableing showHeader, showMissing and showSummary, in the CustomData, to fit more items on one screen and hide less important info. Some screens do contain too much info to be completely visible and readable on small grid or cockpit screens. They will work but readability might be not that good.
Most screens also have a compactMode that is activated automatically, when the screen is loaded onto a Corner or Flat top LCD. Due to the limited space on these screens I programmed fixed settings for these LCDs and override any manual changes instantly.

You can change and use background and font colors through the grid terminal, but they will not be stored.
Once you change the screen to a different one, or reset the config, you will have to set background and font colors again.
Custom Bar colors have not been implemented to not overcomplicate the configuration process.

You can manually delete the CustomData, but it will NOT reset your config values. To reset all values you will have to unload all screens on that specific block before (Set all to 'None' or any script not connected to this mod), then delete the CustomData and set your desired screens again. Otherwise the settings will be loaded from cache.

Multiple screens of the same type with different settings (like 2 Ore Summaries f.E.) on the same block with multiple LCDs (like cockpits f.E.) are not supported. They will show up, but all use the same settings.

Modded items are added automatically, once they're found inside the inventory. They will not appear on the CustomData field so you can not set minAmount values manually.

These scripts have been tested on servers and should work, even on such that don't allow ingame scripts, as such scripts are calculated client side, saving server performance over scripts for the programmable block. But an Admin has to install the mod server sided. This is no plugin.

-Support for BlockGroups?

Incompatible Mod:
EDP - More Logistics Options, Containers from this mod seem to not be recognized as cargo containers and therefor stored stuff inside them is not displayed at all.

Problem: When used on a server, it seemes, there are some problems with the airlock monitor, not displaying the correct pressurization ratio at the air vent.
Workaround: None

Problem: There also seemes to be a problem with more complex grid systems, working on performance and stability updates, be careful once your grid gets too complex. It will not break your game, but the screens might stop working as intended due to large amounts of functional blocks to be scanned and will no longer show valid Info.
Workaround: Provide a specific searchId= instead of '*' this reduces search load drastically.

Problem: Subgrids currently are detected from parent to child. Screens placed on the subgrid do therefor not show values from the parent grid.
Workaround: None
