Inventory Content Display Script

This script will allow you to display the content of all the inventories of your ship/station very easily. It is really simple! You just need to read "short introduction" to use it (I'm also too lazy to read everything ;) ). If you like my work, please rate it. ^_^

• enable experimental mode, if you haven't already (otherwise, you cannot use scripts)
  
• set the display mode of the panels to text
  
• name the panels "Res #<index>". E.g. a panel named "Res #0" will be the first panel, a panel named "Res #1" the second, ... (note that there is no whitespace after the #)
  
• build a programmable block and load this script (obviously)
  
• enjoy!

• Overview of all ores, ingots, components and ammo.
  
• Each category can be displayed separately.
  
• The same information can be displayed on various LCD panels.
  
• Display the content of the inventory of a block.
  
• Custom block names - name the blocks like you want.
  
• Oxygen, hydrogen and battery status.

- The order of the panels is important for the displaying because the data does not fit on one panel alone.
- It doesn't matter if you skip an index, but a duplicate index (so two panels with the same name or text) will cause the scrip to display the information twice. Any index below 0 will be ignored.
- If you have not enough screens in the group, the script will throw an exception.
- The script will automatically fetch the display's font size and put as much text on it as possible. However, you might notice a gap at the bottom of the panel since the last line would not fit on it entirely. Just increase the panel's font size then until it fits perfectly.

Prefixes: Ore for Ore, Ing for ingots, Com for components and Amm for ammo

• Build some panels
  
• name the panels in it like "[PREFIX] #<index>". E.g.: to display ores the panels are named "Ore #1", "Ore #2", "Ore #3", etc.
  
• enjoy!

• Name the second panel like that one whats information you want to display
  
• enjoy!

The script will also search in the public title for a valid identification name. I.e. you can set the name to "My favorite panel" and set the public title to "Res #1" and still works. Note that the name has a higher priority, so a panel with the name "Res #1" and the public title "Res #7" will have the index 1.

You can display the inventory of a block. There are two ways:

1. • build a panel so that the block that's inventory you want to display is behind the panel,
     
   • name it (or set the public title to) Inv #[INDEX]
     
   • enjoy!
2. • build a panel wherever you want (of course, on the same ship/station as your block)
     
   • name it (or set the public title to) Inv #[INDEX] "[BLOCKNAME]" (e.g. Inv #1 "Assembler 6")
     
   • enjoy

Note, that the index is new for each block.

To see the current level of all oxygen tanks, hydrogen tanks and batteries,

• build an LCD panel
  
• name it (or set the public title to) Sta #[INDEX] (usually one panel is enough as it's only two lines, so name it Sta #1)
  
• enjoy!
