Cargo Utilization Light v2.2

Description:
Script checks storage blocks and calculates percentage filled, then uses a light block containing the name "Cargo Light" or a group of lights named "Cargo Lights" to indicate a color. Blinking GREEN when cargo is empty, then gradually changes to RED as the cargo is filled. When the cargo is completely full, the light will blink red.

Given 2 colors one for 0 % and one for 100%
Calculate the percentage of cargo space utilized
interpolate the colors with percent to determine indicator light color.

Modified using ibigpapa's script as inspiration.

Added:
- Run without timer block.
- Added Feed back to the PB to display progress, or error messages.
- Put the Block initializations inside a try-catch block. Avoids the issues with not having
the block named correctly and needing to recompile.
- Set Block Selection to only select blocks from the grid that the Program Block in attached to.
- Added Group support for light blocks. Just need to put your lights in a Group called "Cargo Lights".
- Added include Drills (changed to includeTools) option so that drills are added to the percentage count for mining.
Most times miners have more cargo in their drills than the storage, so including drills gives a
better indication of a full miner. <Optional: needs var includeTools = true>
- Added Settings controls within the Programmable block's Custom Data
- Added "reset" argument option. When entered into the Program block it resets all settings back to default.
- Added LCD, and Cockpit surface support.

============
Update: (Apr. 5 2020)
- Modified sub-grid exceptions.
Grids attached by Pistons or Rotors will automatically be accepted, grids attached through other means will need the includeSubGrid options enabled.

- Modified LCD options.
If both fontColor and backgroundColor are both set to True then LCD will clear the text and just show as a colored panel.

- Modified Color options.
Colors in the setting options will now accept ColorName, RGBA, RGB, and HSV.

example.., {Green}
Starting Color = Color[Green] -- ColorName Mode.
Starting Color = RGBA[0,255,0,255] -- RGBA Mode.
Starting Color = RGB[0,255,0] -- RGB Mode.
Starting Color = HSV[120,100,100] -- HSV Mode.


============
Update: (Jan. 7 2020)
- Modified settings configuration and update function.
- Added LCD support. LCD options can be set on the LCD's Custom Data.
- Added Cockpit and Control Station/Flight Seat Surface support. Shows cargo data on selected surface.

============

Update: (Dec. 17 2019)
- Modified cargo/tool block initialization.
- Added sub-grid support by setting either cargo and/or tool sub_grid to True.
- Modified cargo percentage calculations to try and fix an error with the light not blinking red with tools included.

============

Update: (May 28 2019)
Overhauled script to use PB's Custom Data section to handle all the Script's Settings options.

============

Update: (Mar. 1 2019)
Brought script up do date with current SE API standard for SE release 1.189(Feb. 28 2019).

============

Update: (Jan. 1 2019 )
- Made Updates to the cargo light selection function.

Found an issue when multiple ships having a Cargo Lights group lost track of the lights while connected to a base at the same time.

While working on the cargo light selection function I updated the Group naming options.

Valid names for Groups now include...
Cargo Lights
[Cargo Lights]
{Cargo Lights}
(Cargo Lights)
<Cargo Lights>

============

Update: (Dec. 10 2018) [OBSOLETE]

<<< These commands can now be found in the Custom Data section of the programming block. In the Cargo List section of the Custom data, change the, "Cargo =" to include whatever cargo block you want. For example, "CARGO = Container, Connector", to add Connectors. >>>

-Added custom cargo and tool inclusion lists for players to add additional inventory blocks to the calculations.
Just add the name of the block to the Include List.

Example, to add Connectors to the cargo list.
| string[] cargoIncludeList = {"Container" , "Connector" }; |
-Changed: Found in Custom Data under, "CARGO_INCLUSION_LIST"
| Cargo = Container, Connector |

Or if you want to just view a single container just change the name in the list to the name of the Container.
| string[] cargoIncludeList = {"My Widget Box" }; |
-Changed: Found in Custom Data under, "CARGO_INCLUSION_LIST"
| Cargo = My Widget Box |

-Changed: "includeDrills" to "includeTools" in order to add tools to the cargo calculation set "includeTools = True".
-Changed: Made changes to the drill ore load balancing, tried to fix an issue I was having with a ship with a lot of drills that kept getting "script to complex" error. I believe it is now fixed, but requires further testing.

============

Update: (Aug. 7 2018)
- Added a basic load balancing to the mining drills when the "includeTools" variable equals TRUE.

NOTE 1: Load balancing is based off of the percentage of volume filled. Therefore, Modded drills
with large volumes will not cause issues, where all non-modded drills are full and modded
drills are still mostly empty. All drills should fill in realation to the current drill full percentage.
NOTE 2: Drill load balancing will not begin until script determines that at least 10% of the drills total volume is full, and will stop load balancing when cargo full is determined.
