Holographic Ruler

[LATEST UPDATE: alternative text output modes! Now you can tell that readout to stay put.]

Also available in the official mod repo at http://community.playstarbound.com/resources/holographic-ruler.4117
––––––––––––
New item: Holographic Ruler

Allows you to measure stuff by placing two markers (purely visual, can be placed anywhere). The horizontal and vertical dimensions of the resulting area will then be displayed (different output modes available).
Note: dimensions are calculated in blocks rather than coordinate differences: for instance, placing both markers in the same spot results in a 1x1 area, not 0x0.

Quick info:
– Type: tool
– Price: base 200, buying 1000
– One-handed

How to use:
1) Obtain the ruler from the Infinity Express in the outpost (1000 pixels) or via /spawnitem (which is less fun).
2) Equip in a toolbar slot of your choice.
3) Use "Shift+attack" to place the start marker and "attack" to place the end marker. Order doesn't really matter.
4) The dimensions will be displayed either over the player's head, or between the markers, depending on the current setting.
...) Reposition the markers at your discretion.
99) Finally, switch away from the ruler to clear the markers.

New item: HoloRuler Configurator

Allows you to configure your Holographic Ruler. Available settings: text and marker colours, text display modes.

Quick info:
– Type: tool
– Price: base 100, buying 500
- One-handed

How to use:
1) Obtain the configurator in much the same way as the HoloRuler.
2) Equip alongside the particular HoloRuler you'd like to modify.
3) Use the "attack" action to open the confiGUI.
4) Play around with things.
5) When finished, press "Apply" to transfer the new settings to the equipped HoloRuler or "Cancel" (or Esc key) to, well, cancel the process.

Special thanks to:
– Iridescens from the Chucklefish community forums for finding a way to display simple text messages in-game and sharing his findings with the world.

Known bugs/oversights:
– Roughly 1-second delay for default readouts with admin mode enabled.
–– Fix likelihood: unknown.
–– Notes: cause unidentified at this time.

– Ew, that static text is ugly.
–– Sorry, I'll keep working on refining the font. It only has half the resolution of Starbound's internal text renderer, so not much breathing room there.
