just go to the search tab and look up button panel and you should be able to find it

Where can I find this block in the build menu? I have searched for using all the criteria I can think of. I also searched manually. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

could you make an LCD version of this? could use it to label things that are behind the railings. like at a museum, or industrial center

Why this isn't an ingame item, I will never understand

This is a nice and creative mod! It looks very useful! Thanks for developing this for us, @AViegarien! I like your mods!

Yes, thanks, it turned out to weld on the corner display. It's really funny)
It is a pity that for this you need to stand behind the block - it is impossible to assemble in front of the finished block.
I would like to have a block like with a window, but without a window - only button panel with LCD without dependence on the railing or other blocks (yeah, as in the DLC).

In any case, thank you for a good mod!

It does look a little funny, but you can also attach it to the back of a Corner Light or Corner LCD. I can look at making a version that visually attaches to more vanilla blocks. I can't say when I'd get to more blocks for this, but I'll put it and an LCD variant on my todo list.

Hello!
I like this mod, but I can't find what I can set the button bar without the window. I do not have a DLC with a railing, and it is not installed on the fence.
Which vanilla block can I use for this?

This is exactly what I needed to complete my build. Thank you!

Спасибо за класный мод, пользуюсь с удовольствием. И да, согласен с BaalEvan, экран для кнопочной панели не помешал бы. Простое окно с кнопочной панелью мало интересна, хотя иногда и нужна. Например, можно просто экран широкий над панелью, прозрачный или обычный. (сорри за английский, гугл):steamthumbsup:

Thanks for the cool mod, I use it with pleasure. And yes, I agree with BaalEvan, a screen for a keypad would be nice. A simple window with a keypad is of little interest, although it is sometimes needed. For example, you can just have a wide screen above the panel, transparent or normal. (sorry for english, google) :steamthumbsup:

Like this: https://imgur.com/a/Ns6jfxY , right now buttons aren't clickable when added at the back of LCD so merged block would be awesome <3

Hi! Great idea :) Any chance for combining Transparent LCD Panel from Spark with button panel? Instead of Window Ofc ;) Then we will be able to use this as main screen and buttonpanels for specific action ;)

Today on "things that shouldn't be a mod":
FayDruh 7 Sep, 2020 @ 2:02pm 
Yay lol, thanks. Not that I wouldn't still used them, this mod is pretty handy, thank you for making it :8bitheart:
AViegarien  [author] 7 Sep, 2020 @ 1:45pm 
Ahh, apparently I missed that setting, it should be fixed now.
FayDruh 7 Sep, 2020 @ 12:56pm 
@AViegarien : So I haven't tested it extensively but it seems that the window button panel isn't air tight, my solution would be to put a window over it but your block has a one way tint, thus would give it a double tint which doesn't match the windows its next to. Its worth noting that I could be wrong, I was trying to pressurize a complex area and putting a panel on the front of these made it able to pressurize, removing the panel prevented it from once more. I haven't tested it with just your mod and a simple air tight test setup but I do strongly suspect that these window buttons are the culprit.

Ah, okay lol Been a long time since I watched Tiny Toons lol Totally sounds like some shtick they'd do :p

Awesome mod... I really like this. It's a shame that you can't put it on the back of vertical catwalks or glass normally.

Also, it doesn't work with the old-style catwalks either.. only the new style and the railings.

Still love it.. so many possibilities for industrial machinery control stations.
AViegarien  [author] 22 Aug, 2020 @ 9:26pm 
While I'm here, Window Button Panel is now a thing. Unlike the railing button panel it is a 1x1 window and a button panel in one block (the trick I used did not work to my satisfaction with a window). With a collision mesh that is a bit smaller for better elevator sliding.
AViegarien  [author] 22 Aug, 2020 @ 8:56pm 
lol, yes it's a reference to a very old Tiny Toons skit.
ChozoSR388 22 Aug, 2020 @ 8:32pm 
Was the "Elelator" in the screenshots intentional?
AViegarien  [author] 20 Aug, 2020 @ 1:18pm 
Hmm, In order for it to work on glass they would have to either be combined into one block or maybe take the block in front (collision mesh of the window would probably block the buttons from be accessed). But that seems reasonable glass elevators need love too. I'll play around with it.

Very nice! And yeah that thing about the screen textures, they have the same image already being used on "non-DLC" blocks so I don't see a problem there. They've remade modder submission ideas from scratch before to put them in the game, so can they really complain all that much if someone else makes a completely from scratch model that barely or just partially resembles an element from one of those blocks?
Chipstix213 20 Aug, 2020 @ 1:42am 
I was showing your mod off in discord and someone asked if you'd do a glass version.
AViegarien  [author] 19 Aug, 2020 @ 8:42am 
Oh, cool. I'll get the backup model ready just in case. Thanks for the info :)
Chipstix213 19 Aug, 2020 @ 8:35am 
The maddening thing is there are no written rules. But if they object the workshop moderators will contact you.
AViegarien  [author] 19 Aug, 2020 @ 8:23am 
Hmm...interesting. Not that I doubt you, but is this on their discord? God I hate being on that discord. If that is truly the case I'll make a non-DLC compliant and add the DLC tag to the one that needs it.
Chipstix213 19 Aug, 2020 @ 7:25am 
There are some discussion about LCD buttons as there only available in the DLC I guess this will be the proof. But it's not just models but things including textures and even the new thruster flames.
AViegarien  [author] 19 Aug, 2020 @ 6:52am 
@Chipstix213 from what I've read about the dlc tag is you only need it if you use Keen dlc models (in whole or in part). This is a totally from scratch model, so that shouldn't be an issue. It is however quite likely that there are some guidelines that I have not found, and if they show I need the tag, I will without complaint append it.
Sangurian Soul 19 Aug, 2020 @ 5:20am 
HOLY H*** you are a GENIUS

this is seriously the answer to all the talk from Keen that "compound blocks" would be to difficult to implement.

Even if this isnt a 'true' compound block ME style, i would be more than happy with LCDs, Buttons, and lights all being made like this.
Chipstix213 19 Aug, 2020 @ 3:47am 
I think you have to add the DLC as a dependency to this mod.
ArSole 19 Aug, 2020 @ 1:29am 
Captain shack needs this! Lol Awesome work
AenesidemusOZ 18 Aug, 2020 @ 11:43pm 
Very nice work. Looks spot on.
woostyboy 18 Aug, 2020 @ 2:28pm 
This looks great, nice work.
