Dock Assist HUD

Description
Ever had a hard time lining up a ship to dock?

Note: I changed the functionality a little bit to make it more intuitive. Once the red dot is lined up you will not need to keep it lined up as you move. Just move the yellow dot ontop and you will be lined up!

This mod gives your ship a HUD that lets you select the block you want to dock with then it assists you in lining it up.

Use with the Text HUD API to display the mod's instructions as you dock.

Ctrl to enable the dock hud while piloting a ship (if you are close enough to a valid connection) ctrl again to disable hit shift (once, and slowly) to cycle through connectors/merge blocks on your ship.

If you put the Red dot on the Blue dot then the ship's connector/merge block is lined up with its target. Moving the yellow dot onto the blue dot means that your grid is also grid aligned if you bring roll rotation to 0.

For connectors, line up the red dot then move the yellow dot to the center and you are good to go.

Have fun!

Is there anyway to put this on another activation button?

Please make dots slightly bigger. Not obnoxious, just bigger. It takes me forever to find them. By then I'm right on the connector,

Is there any way to change the size of the dots? My eyesight isn't what it used to be and I have a hard time seeing the dots, especially when they are on the screen edges. Is there a file I can edit with say Notepadd++, to increase their size? I dont usually dock when in combat so I don't care if they occlude my view, I just want to be able to see them. Also being able to change their colors might be nice too.

This mod causes weird problems with the shift key and prevents me from running.

Hi there, I was testing this while making a RC Tut and would seem "only mod running with text api".. that it likes to crash when you get close to connectors. it unlocks them or locks.. and crashes. same world no mods. no crash - I would guess Keen changed something?? would you be able to take a look. maybe something simple when they changed Def's. Thanks for your hard work, i have been using this on my buddy's server for almost a year and half. :)

As stated in the description that cycles the connectors on the ship you are currently piloting.

Downloaded with txt HUD API, now what? I hit control near connector but don't see anything.

ctrl is a standard modifier key in the game which is why its used.
