[CUB3] Life Support Manager

After a lot of user feedback it seems there are some issues and some missing features to the script. I'd like to solve bugs and add features in a timely manner, but unfortunately my real life job is keeping me a little too busy, so I'll try to fix it and add features little by little as soon as possible.
So, for the sake of clarity, I'd like you to consider this script as an alpha version of it, and we're actually at version 0.2a.
Thanks for your patience, your support, and your feedback! You're awesome!

PLEASE UPDATE YOUR SCRIPT IN THE PROGRAMMABLE BLOCK, THERE IS NO AUTO-UPDATE IN SP!!!

• 2020/01/24 - Ver 0.2a: Fixed a bug with airlock screens (they were always a single airlock)
  
• 2020/01/19 - Ver 0.1a: Release

Life Support Manager is a script for the Programmable Block that wants to simplify gases management in every aspect.
With this script, you can:

• Create a massive number of airlocks. Every airlock can be managed on its own
  
• Find leaks in your ship / station, and automatically seal your ship to avoid losing oxygens from airtight rooms
  
• Automate oxygen and hydrogen production, settings limits to your tanks when you want to stop producing (and saving resources and evergy) and when to start again

Simply load the script in the programmable block!
As soon as the script is loaded, inside the Custom Data there will be written some configurations related to the script.

The script can manage several airlocks in the same ship / station.
To create an airlock follow these steps:

1. create an airtight room
   
2. add two doors, one that leads to the base (Internal Door) and one that leads in the vacuum of space (External Door)
   
3. in the "Custom Data" field of the doors, add "internal" for the internal door, "external" for the external door
   
4. add an air vent connected to an oxygen tank. For best result, the air vent and oxygen tank should be disconnected from the rest of the ship, to avoid the oxygen tank to fill
   
5. add three screens, one inside the airlock and two outside the airlock, inside and outside the ship / station
   
6. add three lights, one inside the airlock and two outside the airlock, inside and outside the ship / station
   
7. add three button panels, one inside the airlock and two outside the airlock, inside and outside the ship / station
   
8. create a block group with all the doors, air vents, oxygen tanks, screens and lights of a single airlock. Name the airlock however you want, BUT the word "Airlock" must be in it, and every airlock must have a unique name
   
9. run this script from a programmable block
   
10. in the button panels, configure two buttons to run the programmable block with the following parameters:
    
    • cycle pressurize "Airlock Group Name"
      to pressurize
      
    • cycle depressurize "Airlock Group Name"
      to depressurize

The airlock won't work as intended if there are the following issues:

• the room is not airtight
  
• the oxygen tank is completely full, or completely empty
  
• the oxygen tank or the air vent are connected to the rest of the ship via conveyors
  
• there are missing blocks from the group
  
• the group name doesn't contain the word "Airlock"
  
• two or more airlocks have the exact same name
  
• the doors don't have the words "internal" and "external" in the Custom Data field

The script can seal automatically the ship / station if an air vent finds a leak,
and at the same time show informations about all the air vents on board of the ship / station.

As a matter of fact, as soon as a leak is found, all the doors in the ship will be closed and will be kept closed.
To disable the leak management, run the programmable block with the following parameter: To enable it again, run the programmable block with the following parameter: Of course you can simply add these commands to a Button Panel.

You can configure one or more screens to show the status of every air vent on board.
Just write inside the Custom Data field of the text panels you want to status to show.

If you have too many air vents to show on a single screen, you can create more screens and add "page=<number>"
inside the Custom Data field of the screen. "page=1" is not needed, the first page is always shown if no parameter is given.

The script can manage production and oxygen and hydrogen automatically, starting and stopping oxygen farms
and h2/o2 generators when a certain amount of oxygen and hydrogen is reached in the tanks.
At this points, generators will start when tanks have less than 30% oxygen / hydrogen, and stop when tanks have more than 70%.
These values can be changed inside the Custom Data panel of the programmable block, both for oxygen and hydrogen.

To disable the production management, run the programmable block with the following parameter: To enable it again, run the programmable block with the following parameter: As for the Leak Management, you can simply add these commands to a Button Panel.

Production and tanks status can be shown on screen like leak management, writing
1. Actually only LCD Panels and Wide LCD Panels can be used, due to some limitations and bugs in drawing screens
2. If you want to use a Large LCD Panel, you can write "[LSM Airvent Screen] [LSM Production Screen]" to show both of the screens in a single panel
3. Some features are missing and will be added in the near future, but remember that you'll have to update the script manually!

I don't consider the script "feature complete". I'd like to add support for every kind of screen, not only LCD Panels and LCD Text Panels (but it will require some changes of course). Other things should be streamlined a little more, and there probably some bugs here and there (let me know if you find them in the comments, I'll fix them as soon as possible).
