If you have that mod, you don't really need Ratatosk: it does basically the same thing, but a million times better.

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=694291628 this could be a game changer in combination with ratatosk

What do you mean? It's just text checked line by line.

Cool, I'll keep notes and such on my changes.

Any chance I coudl get a breakdown on the packet structure?

Well, you are free to make those changes if you like. I'm not sure how to make a null LCD, although it's possible to make the LCD only transmit or only receive with a little work.

I don't think it's a good idea for me to edit the fundamental layout of this script right now, because it's going to break before July due to updates to the core code base.

Question and small formatting request:

1) as counter intuitive as it might seem, would it be at all possible to have a null LCD? For instance If I merely wish to use the script as a garage door opener and am not interested in feed back from the other side. It may be simpler to just write my own packets in this case, But I figured it would be worth asking about, especially in the case of relays where one may wish to copy information directly between antenna names to cut out the middle man.

2) Since Ratatosk could be seen to a large extent to supercede Mimir in the respect that it is Mimir+ , would it be a terrible burden to increase userfriendliness by moving the CustomLogic() method back to the top with the extant custom logic called as a method itself, to keep it nice and clean?

That's the point. It only works through laser antennas.

will it work throug a laser antenna system?

Great script! Glad to see you haven't given up on SE entirely. =)

Any laser antenna connection will let you remote to a ship, you don't need this script for that. :)

well it would only be for ease of access, to save like 5-10 seconds going through the terminal lol xD i hadnt even thought about using a button panel, i did mean while seated :) but thats great!!

You can activate blocks using Mimir commands, if you know how to do it. But I'm not sure "view camera" can be activated except manually, if you're sitting at a console.

so if im assuming correctly could it also be used to make a button that activates a view camera function on a different ship/station?

Oh, that's a cool idea. I was thinking multiplayer alarms, myself.

along side the LCD radar, i can imagine this could be quite fun xD

Let me know if it works out for you, and if you use it, maybe take some screenshots!

This is exactly what I've been hoping would come along. Thanks for building this!

Thanks for the patch Craig!

Absolutely Epic!

What the hell, it's a short patch. OK, you can now specify names really easily. It's the first two variables in the code, and you can use the commented-out part as an example.

I was thinking about changing how it works a little bit to make that easier. Tonight, I think.

Another great idea, thanks Craig!
Is it fairly straight forward if I want to not use the closest LCD? I like to keep my Prog blocks in a "Server Room" on my ships / stations (mainly for aesthetics) and I usually have a ton of LCDs around running MMaster's script. So some customization would be awesome.
Again great work!

@kwrichie Yes, it's very easy. The second video shows a moon-planet relay, a moon-orbit relay is the same.

What about using this to connect to orbiting laser relays?

NICE

Yup, watch the video for details.

Soooo, ship to ship communication? That is pretty cool.
