I don't think so @MadusMaximus. You can try the new angled LCD with a white image to get the same look perhaps.

Any chance you could do some angled block variants? These would be great in tunnels going down a ramp for example. :)

@Lord titanius anglesmith I don't have anything planned at the moment. I recently switched from Windows to Linux and I'm not even sure the modding tools work there. Also the ship I'm building ingame is taking up all my time hehe.

Out of curiosity though, any blocks in particular you were looking for?

plans to make more half / inlet blocks ? :D

@Jethor thanks for the offset variants! Very useful mod!
Thank You!

@kufber, isn't that just the default light panel? Or do you mean the light panel offset by half a block?
Unfortunately that isn't something I'm looking for. If you're desperate you can try to make it yourself. A month ago I had no experience with 3d-modeling myself :)

I've been using Blender with the SEUT plugin: https://semref.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/tutorials/pages/131411/SEUT+Installation+Guide
It took me a few nights and had to look at several tutorials. Also looked at some other mods on the workshop for inspiration.
The resources Keen makes available with the SE SDK were of great help as well!

I appreciate what these blocks do, basically free up in front of the panel and are half blocks. I'd be great too if there were also just the panels, without the block behind the light. I have a situation when I want to project light without the conspicuous florescent light block sitting in the corner. Thanks.

YEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!! I have wanted this block for the longest time! I lack the skills to make a mod, but this is the first thing I would have done. Thank you for making this!!!!!!!!!!

Uploaded v1.1, changes in the description.

@mike, the mod now includes a small grid variant.

@Tek, @Edicius, I added an offset variant. I didn't think it necessary earlier, but now I actually like the addition! The light panel is slightly out of bounds which causes some z-fighting. I tried shrinking the model to keep it in bounds, but it just didn't feel right that way.

@GuyInGrey Thanks dude, collision has been fixed.
GuyInGrey 22 May, 2023 @ 8:13pm 
Can the collider be fixed? It's currently a full block collider.
Edicius 21 May, 2023 @ 2:02pm 
I like it, but it needs a lower variant. Meaning the lower half of the block, not just the upper. I downloaded for one specific place on my ship and it didn't work. Great addition but seems incomplete without it for me. also, small ship variants, like others have mentioned already, would be cool!

My savior!

ahhhhhh good

Dr. Distortion, don't worry, they will make it in vanilla (or probably some DLC). KEEN are quite known to take stuff from mods and include them in updated or DLCs :lunar2019piginablanket:
Dr. Distortion 18 May, 2023 @ 6:54pm 
Awesome!
This NEEDS to be made vanilla! :selike:
Tek 18 May, 2023 @ 9:09am 
A great idea for small buildings. Could you make a version that is offset to the other half of the block? Something that can be used to put a halfblock roof on a one block high building?

@Jethor You may be able to take some of the textures from the small grid event controller to make a small grid version of the block
yanitsch 18 May, 2023 @ 4:40am 
Thank you for that block... The whole halfblock-thing has so much potential...
Jethor  [author] 18 May, 2023 @ 2:58am 
Thanks for the comments my fellow engineers! I would love for something like this to be added to vanilla as well.
@mike I don't know how hard it is to add a small ship variant. Maybe I'll have a look after my holidays, but no promises.
Gorgonzola 18 May, 2023 @ 2:03am 
Can't wait for a next Most wanted update so they add stuff like this!!!
Thank you for making the mod this is awesome!
C.DEF 17 May, 2023 @ 11:19pm 
fits perfectly with vanilla style, deserves to be added
Battlemage 17 May, 2023 @ 9:53pm 
Now this is a light that needs to be put into vanilla.
mike 16 May, 2023 @ 2:43pm

VS-lockon 16 May, 2023 @ 6:37am

MamboFloof 13 May, 2023 @ 11:56am
