Visual Information System (VIS)

Description
The VIS is a script that allows you to display collected information graphically on a display in the game. The type of graphical representation can vary regardless of the data source. Whenever you want to see the content of the inventory or the filling level of the oxygen tank, you can use this script.

If you want to try it out quickly you can start right away with this [github.com] short guide. For all others I recommend to read the complete documentation[github.com].

You can see the complete source code here[github.com]. I will not publish every single version here. I will only release it when I think it is stable. That doesn't mean that the version published here can't contain errors. The functionality will be extended bit by bit. The documentation will be extended accordingly.

Hey, I have managed to get a few screens done but I want to display status of my various Power Producers (Hydrogen Engine, Reactor, Wind Turbines etc.) can anyone help me with this. I was hoping something with a graphical display for easy glance as I run past.

Thanks
DM

I'm a bit lost, this looks fancy and better than Automatic LCDs 2. But I've no fucking idea how I can get the same result as shown on the screenshots, and I won't read those 122 previous comments :'(

Some *actual documentation* for the example scripts would be lovely. I have absolutely zero idea how to adjust them for my ships because it's just a wall of gobbletygook with very little commenting other than the titles of each subsection. I try to plug in the hydrogen status script into a small grid ship on a transparent LCD? It claims there's no ice in the O2/H2 generators despite there being 5.7k total in there. That's just one example. It's a lovely visual system in theory but in practice you made it way too obtuse and designed it only for people with the patience and knowledge of programming themselves to be able to use, and basically screw all the laymen. :/

i often get a error no inventorys found, on my ship it was for the oxygen checker couldnt find Ice inventorys and generators

and on my weldership it cant find the inventory for the invntory list but that works fine on my ship... curious

If anyone is planning to use this script it currently does not work as of the date I'm writing this. It will start to compile but will generate errors and shut down per the built in safety's within the script.

In the screenshots it looks very nice, colorful and readable which I like. In practice the script is very difficult to grasp. If it were not for this difficulty I would use it, but yes it is difficult.

Is the author still active here? or anybody else can help me? i am trying to make the console screen text resize to fit the display on the PB. i am not sure how it looks on a large block PB, but on the small block PB it cuts the end of the line off. i see there is a way to change the display size, but it seems very hard to use. how am i supposed to get all these internal names for the blocks to use? or am i missing something? i cant just tell it the bloc's name directly?

Is there a way to get visibility to act on the value of %capacity% below? I'm setting up a readout for a dock, and I only want to see the H2 data if the ship only if it has tanks installed.

graphic:text:capacity
position:496,100:a
size:206,20:a
alignment:right
checkremote:hydrogen:$(p2)
text:%fillvalue% / %capacity%
gradient:0:$(colorred)
gradient:0.4:$(coloryellow)
gradient:0.8:$(colorgreen)
visibility:>:0

I've been racking my head trying to figure out how to get a bar to display the current fuel level of a hydrogen engine. I can tap the text values, but I can't get a visual readout. Here's my current code, anyone have any suggestions?

graphic:bar:fuel
size:20,340:a
position:245,420:a
style:tiles:90:50:0:a
border:$(border):$(bordersize):$(bordersize):$(bordersizetype):$(bordercolor)

check:generator:Hydrogen Engine:false
gradient:0.0:217,95,14

Hello, I can see the potential of this script but cannot get it to do as I want it to. Ive been reading and re-reading the documentation trying to figure it out but I am at a loss. I have been attempting to use the battery status provided on the wiki as my start point but cannot get it to display as I like. I have three seperate battery groups on my ship that I want to monitor independently but cannot get it to display only the batteries in each said group. It always displays all batteries regardless of my attempts to set a group. I believe i am failing to use the syntax correctly and that is why it displays all batteries vs specified groups.
