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. It's been 10 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:2.0207 (Apex Survival compatibility)
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

thx for reply, still a wonderful script ;)
MMaster  [author] 21 Sep @ 3:10am 
The script updates the screens only once per several seconds, it never updates more than 1LCD per tick, in slow mode it runs only once per 10 ticks.

The max execution time on grid with ~200 commands on around 40 LCDs is in average: ~69us - that means that you can have around 200 such grids and it would still not be visible on game performance.

The problem is that the script is just too large and it may take long time (~6ms per tick) to compile parts of it as they are used which causes the server plugin to stop it. Once all the parts of the script had been executed at least once it runs smoothly as explained above. Unfortunately there is really nothing more I can do about that. The script is just too large.
RueLight 21 Sep @ 2:58am 
Hi, its possible to double or triple the slow mode? I use it on a PVE and the server often stop it coz of too many updates, even in slow mode....
cheers

Unfortunately there is no direct way to read weather from PB, you can kind of guess based on oxygen pressure from air vents and power output of wind turbines and solar panels, but nothing direct.
WardenWolf 21 Sep @ 1:13am 
Thank you for all your work, MMaster. One more teensy request: a way to display current weather. Display Clear if no active weather and N/A if in space or no atmosphere.

Hahaha well there was a time I was on Discord too much, so I stopped using it unless I needed something from it. I am happy to help out though as always, you know me. I've joined the server and will make an effort to be more aware of Discord again. :cozyspaceengineersc:
MMaster  [author] 20 Sep @ 10:05am 
I've already created server few days ago for testing so I just decided to use that one. I've added some basic rules, roles, categories and channels and we can continue from there :-) I will be happy with any suggestions on how to improve it.

So let's try it.. here is 7 days invite for now: https://discord.gg/hT6q8yQA

See you there :-)

Also I'm happy that you figured it out @Norway174 it's always great to see how people use this in their builds!
Norway174 20 Sep @ 9:52am 
Oh, and I wanted to comment. Saying I did get the Build and Repair property working. Totally forgot, I could've just looked in the Build and Repair script. And the property keyword I was looking for was "BuildAndRepair.AllowBuild". If anyone else is looking for the same.

This looks so cool now! Thanks for your amazing script! :D

@MMaster I'd definitively join if you made one. And I'd be happy to help set it up. I've set up multiple Discords in the past, and have experience with it. But I also totally get it if not, as I am a total stranger. :P But feel free to add me on Steam if you'd like to talk further, and possibly see some of my references.
