Offset LCD & Text Panels

Description
This mod adds two LCD Panels and two Text Panels with "Left" and "Down" model offsets. This means that the object appears one block to the side or below where you physically place it.

This essentially allows the screens to be able share the same space as another existing block, creating some interesting combinations such as having a working screen on top of a Button Panel.

The screens can be a little difficult to interact with, I find it's best to approach them diagonally from the side and use the K button. Also remember if trying to remove or grind them, they are not where they appear to be...

Would it be possible to add them for small ships too?

Ooooh.... I wonder what would happen if you overlapped those two screens, what kind of strange effects could you achieve.... ?

That's really cool. I'll check it out.

@BevansDesign I really like this idea, so I went ahead and made a mod for some tiny LCD panels. It includes one screen specifically fitted for Programmable Blocks, as well as a Left & Right offset:

Nice, I'll give this a shot. Hopefully someday Keen will give us blocks that can do more than one thing, like LCD/buttons, LCD/cockpit, LCD/program, etc.

Have you thought about doing this with the small LCDs, so it's easier to attach them to things? I have a row of programmable blocks that I wanted to label with small LCDs, but you can't attach anything to programmable blocks (except the floor), so I had to attach the LCDs to things that are hanging from the ceiling.

Or maybe it would be easier to have a completely transparent block that you can attach anything to? Maybe that would cause too many problems...

Nice concept, but pisses me off trying to build or grind them. Dont think I'll use them at this time.
