Half Block Light Panel

Description
When space is tight but you still want to make use of light panels AND have a nice floor to walk on upstairs. This custom block takes the Sparks of the future Sci-Fi Interior Wall block, shrinks it in half, and slaps a Warfare2 Light panel on it. Require both DLC (I think).

Update 2023/05/30 v1.1:
- Remodel of my original block which was somewhat crooked
- Fixed collision
- Added an offset variant
- Updated icons
- Added small grid variants
- Added some build stages

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.

Can the collider be fixed? It's currently a full block collider.
