@Bannor nothing except this is quicker and can be transferred between independent ships. Lets say you build a ship, die and respawn on another planet but want to use the same light settings. Do you want to have to make new groups or just select the lights, then hit apply?

For me this is already saving a TON of time.

@kinngrimm: not at all, its goal is to help you setup profiles for lights (navigation lights for your ships for example). If your goal is to change color of lights following an event the Event Controller can manage, you'd better use a script like Easy Automation V2.0 . Hope this helps.

does this work with the event controller?

What's the difference between this, and just creating a group of lights, and changing settings on the group?

Awesome mode, any idea how i can use it through script with programming block, and change profiles by ingame script? I can write this script, but is here any api?

This is awesome! Is there a way to control the loading of the profiles through a Programmable block/script?

Very helpful, thank you very much!

This thing is a real time saver. Wonder if you would be able to do something similar for LCD screens. Just the Color and Background color settings. None of the other stuff. I've had to memorize my favorite lcd amber setting almost like a phone number 200 140 0 - 0 0 10 lol

So far all your work has been a must have in my worlds. Keep expanding my mod list man!

Loading from a profile seems to set falloff to 0, haven't figured out the conditions of this behavior, but it's doing that most of the time...

Brilliant!

Stumbled across this. Absolutely wonderful! Thank you!

What a life saver. I tend to make a lot of ships that use the same presets (and they're large so there's a lot of lights), so this will save a lot of time.

This is good stuff. Thanks a ton for sharing your work

why is this not a plugin :]

Nice… Can these new lighting profiles be quickly called via script (assuming you know the profile name)?

@Meridius_IX / Lucas. You are right and I have your Easy Block Renaming tool - and that works great when I have a bunch I am setting up, but if I add lights one after the other it would make it easier to have the suffix added based on the profile, otherwise I need to retype the profile name every time i add one.

What's a plugin?

@Plazmalord - An example of how this mod works: Let's say you've setup lights on Ship A, and you like the particular settings you've applied to the exterior of the ship (color, intensity, etc) and you want to apply those to ship B. All you have to do is select one of the lights on ship A, save it to a profile, then select all the lights on ship B you want to set the same, and apply the profile. It saves you time messing with a bunch of sliders.

For the handful of people asking about a plugin, I don't design plugins for Space Engineers, so there wouldn't be any plans for this.

very nice i can use this to have red alert without added 2x more lights then i need

Thanks!

That isn't what this mod does, Soban

cant u do this already in game by selecting the light blocks and adjusting the attributes for those blocks and saving them to a group?

Any possibility we could get a plugin version of it? It'd be nice to use without having to convince server admins to add it.

Greatest mod community in the known galaxy!!

Any chance this could eventually be a plugin to run client side?

@supersquid - unlikely to be supported in build vision since they implement their own custom control interface.

@CTH2004 - After you apply a profile, it changes the individual block settings. So those will persist if the ship is blueprinted.

@High Templar - Check out my Easy Block Renaming mod. While you have the blocks selected, you can add a prefix name to them that way.

Lucas, this is one of the best mods I have ever seen and I will instantly be adding it to every game I play.

@supersquid2000
what's a tab?

if I use this, will I be able to upload that ship and use it without the profile? basicly use the profile in the building stage, and that's it?

Will this be compaible with Build Vision? I almost never go into the tab menu anymore.

YESSSS, take my 4800 points XD This solves the problem I've sunk so many unnecessary hours into. This mod is gonna streamline the creative process of us builders so much! Thank you :D

I can see this being used for competitive Base/ship Capture matches.

Great tool! Saves me a lot of slider-fu. Only wished it would also give me the option to add the profile name as a suffix to the light name so I can search them all and group.

I literally just thought the same thing when I saw this. This is epic.

Fantastic! Would love to see one for LCD settings, too! Those SciFi Button Panels are awesome, but such a pain to set up.
