I have a problem, suddenly it doesn't matter where I set it to display on the hub, I have all of them at the bottom in the corner

@Snuggl Happy to hear it! Unfortunately there is no image support for the mod at this point.

Love this!

It seems to only work with test based LCDs though. Is there a way to make it work with image based ones, like the Shield HUD when you use Energy Shields / Defensive Shields mods?

There is another lcd mod I use called SIMPL to show the status of my ships, but it uses the content: apps instead of content: test and images. is there any plan on having this be compatible with those modes? Other then that this works great :)

is there an option to toggle a hud overlay display on or off?

Can this be used with the LCDs in a cockpit?

@jokerace45
Yes, this cannot work client-side nor as a programmable block; SE just doesn't have the functionality needed.

On the right side of a workshop submission's page, you can see whether it's a 'Mod' or an 'Ingame Script'.
The latter is a programmable block script, while the former is the sort of thing you add to a world before you load.
You can also filter by these things when searching the workshop via the dropdown and tick boxes on the right when browsing.

I am guessing this is a server side script. Because I do not see it in scripts area to install to a programming block.

MrFox, looking at the format layout as described above the Font Size would land in the third position in the command. Your command as written in your question is missing two more full colons. Thus it should be hudlcd:::2.

Hope that helps.

How to do the size thing? hudlcd:2

At any point in the Text of your LCD you can use the tag <color={Colour}> to change the following text.

using automatic LCD 2
can i use one color(yellow) for the clock at the top of the display and another(cyan) for other/more information?

something like this.. but it doesnt work..
any help would be appreciated ;o)

// hudlcd:-0.98:0:1:yellow
TimeC
// hudlcd:<color={cyan}>
echo
PowerTime {G:BATT MINER 001}
echo
Altitude

@Pixy Last time I've checked there was no way to read graphics from display. But Fancy Displays can be probably modded to showup on hud.

Not necessarily a bug, but I would like to point out that this only seems to work when the script is text based. Scripts such as Fancy Displays do not appear to work unfortunately (really sad because I love using that script)

Still, very useful for when you need to see extra data on your HUD while in 3rd person mode

Just to clarify: I'm not saying I won't fix any bugs as they are noticed, I'm just not promising future feature development (:

What bugs are you referring to?

Would you please consider updating the description to reflect your change in willingness to fix bugs as they are noticed

Aw... oki

It does not, unfortunately I haven't played SE in a long time, so it's not on my todo list atm, sorry D:

Did this combine with the other v2 and beta mods features?
Like does it have range, faction range, and multi screen support?

@Skallabjorn There are a lot of great mods for SE ;) (Stats, incase you're interested: https://i.imgur.com/xzB8sQR.png )

Been using this mod for years, love it, I am surprised it doesnt have subbers in the 10's of thousands

This is what i get when i press F11, sadly, i'm not sure if that tell me much about what i should know:

mod_notice: HudLcd v2 1/2 beta w/ Multi-screen blocks, in file:
Possible entity type script logic collision

You can try my variant, which have a bit different commands, but works in the similar way: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2005632342

For my mod follow this checklist for troubleshoting
- make sure that both Text HUD API and HudLcd are enabled for that save (in that order)
- make sure LCD is active and have some text present - use a-z characters
- make sure that you are in the seat on the same grid as LCD
- make sure you're owning LCD and it has power (might be some optimization for powerless-grids)
- try command in the Name (not title) and Custom Data
- try adding only "hudlcd" and if it's working add remaining settings one-by-one to see if any is breaking
- check if there are any errors in the console, If I remember correctly it is F11 then Errors or Warnings button

For original mod (Jawastew one) there is one difference:
- apply command to Title and Custom Data

Nope... I'm an idiot, i can't make this mod to work apparently, and i don't know what this mod/script/whatever it is to work too... So, i guess i'll just give up...

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=915270684 you can probably check this test setup to see if you're configuring LCD properly and if mod is working at all.

I see, then either i'm stupid or something doesn't work, i can't get the LCD to work on my HUD even if i put anything on it... Oh well, bit sad, because it looked like a good mod.

I don't use the Text HUD API mod menu @Kagami

Hello, it seems i have an issue with the mod, i can't enable it by opening the chat and pressing F2, Mod Setting appear, but nothing else does appear when i click it... I tried uninstall other mods, verifying files of game, but nothing seems to work, i would like to know if anyone had found a fix to it. https://imgur.com/gallery/r5DW2Zk

I've modified this mod and added multiple displays support among other stuff
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2005632342

@Jawastew how merging new features is going? :)

j1ko now you can add a screen to use on hud and reference it from cockpit as a work around.

Cant get it work with a programmable block lcd either. so both options i would have loved to see are not available. For example the normal scenario : you have a small ship and dont want to add multiple lcds to the ship (because the cockpit block and the programmable block both already have an lcd) i have to add additional lcds to make this work with hud lcd :/

@J1k0 I haven't added support for cockpit lcds, those weren't around when I created the mod (:

I absolutetly love the idea of this mod - however - i need a lcd block to make it work right ? So i cant use the output of a cockpit lcd and bring it onto the hud ?

I will start a new topic to keep the troubleshooting contained somewhere...

I did do most of that checklist, only exception is #5 which is tough to do on a dedicated server since removing other mods will break the world.

Last time I checked it also displays in your cryo chamber

Have you tried going through the checklist here? https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/911144486/1319962329030900015/

This mod doesn't seem to be working on my DS. I do get the F2 menu, but nothing is listed under mods. However, the logs on the DS (Torch) do not mention any errors and the mod is being loaded. Where should I start looking?

Also, does the HUD text appear in the cryo chamber as well? I tried both.

@andbruu @Kapitan Oczywisty is right, there is (so far) no multiscreen support, you can either use one of the HudLCD "forks" or try and combine two separate LCDs on your screen (probably a bit janky).

@Kapitan Oczywisty thank you. Ill take a look at it.

@andbruu As far I know Jawastew haven't implemented multi-screen yet, you may try this one: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2005632342

I can't seem to get it to work with cockpit lcds and autoLCD, where i am having text shown via AutoLCD to multiple screens on the cockpit. Is that expected?

Finally an update after close to 3 years :)
Please let me know if you have any issues.

Heya, sorry for the long silence. I'm currently looking into getting the mod working again and setting up a public github repo to allow for pull requests of features and to consolidate changes into one mod again (as there is now an unofficial v2). The first update should be in a little bit, just to get the mod working again with the Text HUD API v2, as support for v1 was dropped 3 months ago.

I've made update for Text HUD API v2, which produces better texts. I've also added background and Monospace font.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1999560983

I'd like to update this to support Cockpit LCDs/Programable blocks and add some more options.

For anyone having troubles: There is a bug with GetPublicTitle which is empty until player makes any change. It's better to use Custom Data. With "Automatic LCDs 2" you can write this as "// hudapi:...." to avoid "Unknown command"

Hey, me and a friend was wondering if we can try and update as well as upkeep this mod. We wanted to talk to you first to get your permission to take it over. Unfortunately, I have no way to message you other than just the comments section here currently. If you are interested in us taking it over, just shoot me a message and we can discuss it.

Cheers!
Orixus the Paladin

While this mod still works, it has become very difficult to read anything with it.
This isn't aided by the fact that it never had a background implemented, so you needed to view it against the right-colored surface to not strain your eyes to read.

My guess is it hasn't implemented the new TextHudAPI feature that lets it ignore post-processing, so the text ends up blurry. That alone would solve the biggest issues, with the only one remaining being to add a background.
It would also be nice to have monospace so the text doesn't end up misaligned compared to the LCD, but that's a small issue.

Hi, this hud info mod work in this time ?

Using Automatic LCD2; I set the LCD's text padding to 25% and adjusted hudlcd ratio to 1:1 to display cargo amount and ores on my mining ship with great results. (Squishing the empty spaces.)

LCD Title: hudlcd:-0.98:-0.2:1
LCD settings: Padding to 25%, and colors I like.
LCD Custom data:

CargoX {T:*}
InventoryXS {T:*} +ore

Huh, I could have sworn that it specifically said to put this in the Custom Data somewhere in the instructions.
I guess it says that it works both ways, though:
'To display an LCD on your HUD either tag the LCD Title or the LCD custom Data (Not the Name) with "hudlcd"'
