Notes

Description
On screen notes in space engineers.

You must also utilize the required mod on the right in order for this mod to function.

/note gives a list of all availible commands.
/note add [text] - Adds a line to the notepad
/note delete [#] - deletes specified line number
/note insert [#] - Inserts a note at the specified line number
/note replace [#] - replaces note at specified line number
/note clear - clears the notepad
/note pos x y - sets the notepad to position x y on your screen, 0,0 is center, numbers are from -100 to 100.
/note save {name} - name is optional
/note load {name} - name is optional

Notes will now automatically load the last note when you boot up a game.

use the <color=colorname> tag to change the color of the text, this can be done at any point in the text line to color text after it.
Uses Text HUD API.
- Updated with v2 of the API which no longer uses the net layer. Please let me know if there are any issues

Many thanks for this awesome mod. Being a chaotic space engineer I needed and used it a lot before the datapads emerged - they are a lot more immersive. Still - thumbs up and favorite.

Have you considered making this use the new rendering method that ignores post-processing, making it actually readable in the corners?
Also, a way to simply hide and show it would be nice, instead of saving+loading.

My bad !!!! I am so stupid... i don't add the Text HUD API in my world...

Hi, the mod is broken or it is Text HUD API ?
I try the mod in 1.186, i add a note but not nothing on the screen.
Thanks.

If you're still looking for something like that and are in Singleplayer, you could try out the Comms tab in your terminal. I wrote things in that a while ago to see if it worked as a journal, and they haven't been erased yet. That was back when planets came out, and the notes are there to this day.
I'd say that works pretty well as a notepad. You might even be able to make your own factions that act as chapters, with the 'Factions' window at the bottom-left.

hey, thanks for the mod! I was looking for something akin to Take Notes! for Skyrim, in that I would like a way to enter notes in a journal-like fashion for RP purposes. kind of an Engineer's Log, if you will... I'm going to sub to this and try it out, but it doesn't seem as if this does exactly what I'll need. nonetheless, could be useful!

I really like this mod, thank you for that.

I was finding it while searching a way to inject from a programmable block into the HUD. Now I understand that this not possible with Notes right now. I tried having a go with the source, but are just lacking the skill yet. So maybe as as feature suggestion, could you think of an (more or less) easy way to modify it to access Notes from the menu system and so inject arbitrary output from a programmable block?

I also really think that would be an easy way to make the Text HUD API accessible from ingame, a thing that is probably quite searched by from scripters.

Notes will now hide if the HUD is hidden.

Yes, notes are private though.
