Could you add textual damage reports? Something like "Hull integrity 56%" or "Critical systems integrity 77%". Something along those lines, like armor, thrusters, gyros, reactors.

Good idea. I could make a set of special display types called "screen_diagnostic_reports" Then those could show you stats about your ship health.

Awesome, thanks. Great work btw!

I know the implementation of this would probably be a bit of a headache, but I think it might be interesting to have it so that you can split up a display across multple screens - To allow for having a display that is larger than 1x2 large ship blocks.

Though, admittedly, doing so would probably be a bit tricky to do.. Having to know the number of dots that can fit on a screen at a given text size, offsetting the secondary screens by a certian amount..

I dunno. Just something that would be a nifty feature, I feel.

Yes that would be awesome. I can't think of any easy way to do it -especially since you can't set the font very easily, for example it can be 0.2 or 0.3 but can't be 0.25 or 0.62 or other small increments. As such you could span it across two displays or more, but they would only line up of your ship was a very specific size.

Maybe someday we'll get more advanced drawing functions on the LCD screen though, then it might be easier!

In the mean time, I think there are large screen mods you can look in to. My script might work with them, I'm not sure!

Is a 3D animation possible?

Can you change _diagnostic_ in screen neames to simply _diag_ tat will be helpful beacose when i have a lot of screen i realy often make mistake in that word.

Would It be possible to detect other grids via sensor or connector and display them as well? Would come in handy for shipyards or other applicatons (imagine having people work for you and you can follow thier progress by just having to look at a display). Alternatively could it be possible to have antennas be able to send grid informations to a remote location?

YES! Go into the script and edit it. There should be a variable near the top (after all the description) called screen_prefix. You can change it to whatever you want!

You would need to connect with a mergo block, and then it would work if you reset the script. I'm not sure about sending data with antennas - I suppose it could be done? Hmmmm...

No! Sorry, not really. That would take too much processing power. We're restricted to 90 degree rotations and the scanning animation :(

Antenas hmm... sending drones to scan enemy ship! That will be great!
Question: Meaby when mod will be more advanced you will do tutorial site in tutorials section, you know all commands and anything on one page?

would be awesome

could it be possible it to show layers of the ship where the is actual damage and tell where the damage is that would be useful when trying to reapir large ships whith complex systems

Mod for bigger LED screens that is compatible with this mod, this should be awersome!
