Automatic LCDs 2

Description
Everything you will ever need to know about your ship and station displayed in real time on LCD panels in any vanilla games. modded games and servers! Now with cockpit panels support!

Thank all of you for making amazing creations with this script, using it and helping each other use it. Its 2024 - it's been 9 years already since I uploaded first Configurable Automatic LCDs script and you are all still using it (in "a bit" upgraded form). Its just amazing :)

v:2.0200 (Performance optimizations & PropFloat command)
In-game script by MMaster

Programmable blocks and in-game scripts are now in "Experimental mode" in game that you need to turn on in game options and advanced world settings.

Last Update: Check change notes above

This is in-game script, not a mod, you will not find it in in-game mods.

Basics video guide
This guide is quite old, but still applicable. (timer block is not needed, few interface changes)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every captain wants to have displays that show some useful info. Make your bridge display damaged blocks in engineering, engine room, etc. Make big screen by joining multiple Wide LCDs! Show power output, batteries status, laser antenna connections and much more. Make your docking bay display which landing gears are occupied. Make screens for docking fighers when landing gear is ready to dock so they can nicely see it from cockpit! Make one LCD per container to see its contents.. and much more!

HOW TO UPDATE?
This script is not a mod so it does not update by itself. You need to load new version of script to your programmable block to overwrite the old one. You do that in exactly the same way as when you first loaded the script into programmable block.
Open your programmable block, click Edit, click Browse Workshop, select Automatic LCDs 2, click OK, Check code, Remember & Exit. Done. Your script is now updated.

RATING
If you like this script please give it positive rating, it gives me "fuel" to continue.
If you plan to give it negative rating, please at least let me know what makes it deserve negative rating so I can learn from it and/or fix it.


!! PLEASE READ THIS !!
I'm really happy that this script became so popular and that so many people like it, but many people means many questions and I rather enjoy other things than saying the same things all over again to people. So I wrote the guide where I've put everything about every command, tried to answer all questions that people had in comments and I keep it updated. I'm responding to many comments that are stated in the guide. Please read the guide.

If you've got questions, but you don't want to read the guide, then this script is probably not for you.

I understand that this script got quite a lot of features and it can be hard to crunch whole guide. Unfortunately I can't teach everyone how to use it via chat. It took me several hundreds of hours to put this all together so please take your time to read the guide and follow the troubleshooting section if something doesn't work.

If you have problem with some command then read the guide section for that command and make sure you use it correctly. Try to use it on separate LCD by itself so it's easier for you to see the issue and definitely try some examples!

You are the space engineers so go ahead and play with it and figure it out :)

Thank you very much for your understanding.


TROUBLESHOOTING

There is no way to do that with this script.
KeplerTheAlien 19 Aug @ 2:33am 
is there a way to change the color of text per line...? or am i dumb?
Kham 17 Aug @ 12:06pm 
@GermanGinger 99.9% of the time when it shows 0 for everything, it's because you've not told it where to look, or you've told it the wrong place.

For example typing this
inventory +ingot

instead of this
inventory * +ingot
GermanGinger 17 Aug @ 10:42am 
Love the mod and I've been using it for years but lately I've ran into a particular problem. All the coding "works" but doesn't. The main thing I use is the inventory and tank stuff. Unfortunately, recently it would pull up the usually list but show everything empty or at 0. Any help? Can't seem to figure it out

@gromit That was it. I removed the underscores and now the console works exactly as intended! You, sir, have earned yourself a cookie.
Dab Boofer 14 Aug @ 8:04pm 
anyone having trouble getting proper ammo inventory ammounts? its showing 0 ammo when I know Im stocked up
Gromit 14 Aug @ 9:42am 
@the_high_lord: it's a typo, you must not use "@0 auto_lcd" but "@0 AutoLCD". Hope this helps :se:
the_high_lord 14 Aug @ 9:33am 
Ok, I'm getting annoyed.. I'm trying to set up a console with three screens so that the screens each display different information. According to the guide, to get what I want, I should use the following command structure in the console's custom data

@0 auto_lcd
inventory {gas} +ice (this is to see how much ice is in my H2/O2 aka 'gas' generators)
@1 auto_lcd
tanks * oxygen
@2 auto_lcd
tanks * hydrogen

However, when I add this exact chunk of text to my console, it doesn't work as intended, and I don't know why. I've verified that

inventory
tanks * oxygen
tanks * hydrogen

will display the desired values on the *first* screen, but as soon as I put in the @* auto_lcd lines in, the first screen freezes, and nothing displays on the other screens.

What exactly do you mean? You can show information of blocks with the "detail" command, so you see the same text as in the terminal view of that block.

Is there away to add targeting information?
