Virtual Wall - Boundary chaperone

Description
If you have set a WorldSize of 10 km to 100 km (not Unlimited), this will create a visual virtual wall or Boundary chaperone so you can see the edge of the world.

The lines appears at the range of 4 km from the viewer, so you will get a 4 km warning.
This is in addition to the text warning that the Space Engineers game displays when you within 600 meters of the boundary indicating that you are about to die or lose your ship.


Please note, that calculations can be intensive to display the wall at the appropriate time.
If they are causing a Sim speed drop, please leave a post, and I will look at tuning it further.

Episode 1 and 2 of Star Trek: The Next Generation is known as "Far Point" where we meet the "real" Q for the first time. And also the best Q.

I'm a nerd, and felt the need to share that ;)

Can you add a config option to this? pre warning distance?

It was inspired by the Q wall from the the first episode of ST-TNG.

Star Trek TNG episode 1, Q's wall.... http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7062/6820769140_4ef8e972d6_z.jpg

Not exactly what it looks like, but that was the first thing to leap to mind...

Because of how I wrote the mod, this is optimized for up to 100km worlds.
You will probably start to see memory usage on the Client increase as you go up in world size.

Increasing the amount of lines visible (changing the 4km view limit) will also increase the CPU usage.

At the moment, I am not considering changing this mod.
Any improvement (making larger world work efficiently, and greater viewing ranges) would require a total change in how the walls are constructed. You wouldn't have the nice fixed red and yellow lines.
At that time, a new totally mod is required.

additionally, if using it for wold building purposes would it be possible to get a version that has no 4k limit of seeing the lines? or would that break even an i7? i dont know exactly how you have the calcuations setup for this.

i just want to use this for some dev stuff while building a world for my server (dont plan on havign this mod active ons aid server once it goes live) does it work if ive gone into the save file and buffed the world size over 100km yet there is one? (think mines 150)

This is black magic, is this what C# is capable of? Everyone tells me it sucks.
