hey redneck zer, If you look in the script you should see the part that is printing to the screen. in there or near there its setting the font size. I also have 2 other script that may suit you one for smaller lcds (the thin ones) that just shows a bar and one that lets you set font size yourself. hope this helps.

Give this one a try, its OLD, but for cythons only and may work for you.

Well Cythons shields still works and been sum wat in the loop of SE updates. :3

And although bubbles shields are simple and doesn't use a lot of CPU and GPU power as the Cythons one does I still prefer Cythons shield mod because its visually mar accurate. X3

I just want a script dat can show the ship's Shield health as "Armor" health (color-able text as well) on LCD and in cockpits for small ships. >w<

An array out of bounds like that indicates to me that something has changed - probably with darkstars as cythons hasn't been updated in many many years. Dark has an API for all his weapon core stuff. BUT as I say darkstars shields now has its own HUD representation that gives far more info than this old script.

Do a double check you have evythign set up right: In have a vid on YT for how to set up my scripts - and it applies to all of them honestly.

If you do then frankly until I get back into SE Im going to label this script as outdated.

oh god.. Ill have to take a look at it - dont even have SE installed right now ;), Is YEARS since I wrote this, hell I dont even know if cythons old mods still work.

If your using darkstars sheild mod and weapon core - you dont need a script now any ways as it shows on the HUD. If your using cythons there are scripts (by various folks) I think I have one too - that just displays that.

Honestly I made this script in the days when Darkstars shield mod was new and not great - now its come a VERY long way since those days.

Hey thanks @Gate didn't know this one had any bugs. I'll look into it when i can find the time.

//FIXME: 2021/08/22

String split operations on custominfo that may contain leading new lines (in my case 2);
leads to an index out of range exception. Fix is to trim leading newlines and adjust indices. Would recommend validating the existence of custominfo data, and never assume it's as expected for a given version.

Otherwise pretty good script. :steamthumbsup:
