This will likely be adjustable by the mod that rotates LCDs: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2427400629

Zacxz.Insta Oct 17, 2021 @ 1:00pm 
add 3x3 large lcd please
Unruly Apr 8, 2021 @ 10:13pm 
Or, I realise after, just an inverted version?
Unruly Apr 8, 2021 @ 9:55pm 
Would it be difficult to reverse what is displayed? (ie, make what's displayec right-way-round when viewed from the back.)

This mod is way better than DLC.

Maybe the fact you have more sizes and the image is not fliped horizontally if you want to use it as window block build from outside.

Hey Digi, are you in Nukeguard's discord server? :P

Its not letting me construct these with the welder, any clue what's going on?
Prof.Xomox Jul 24, 2020 @ 8:36am 
I prefer these over the DLC!
cjjerred Apr 27, 2020 @ 12:47pm 
im not buying DLC thanks for the mod
Droid_22 Mar 30, 2020 @ 6:26pm 
@Vitilate-17 the dlc is already bs. If keen took this down that would be the final straw for me. Keen I love what you've created, but at this point the community is far more competent at making your game than you are.

I use this instead of Keen's backwards DLC Bullshit. Once modded, always modded.
Mr. Turtle Dec 16, 2019 @ 9:43pm 
I have the DLC this is better.
Solacia Impera Dec 6, 2019 @ 4:49pm 
inb4 Keen takes this down due to it being essentially the LCDs in the new DLC for free
woostyboy Nov 25, 2019 @ 7:39am 
Should have read it!
woostyboy Nov 25, 2019 @ 7:39am 
OK, sorry.
Digi  [author] Nov 25, 2019 @ 7:37am 
@woostyboy
Well regular LCDs were always seen through this, the issue was seeing transparent LCDs through transparent LCDs, projections had the same issue (both ways).
But yes that is no longer an issue as mentioned in change notes and the description.
woostyboy Nov 25, 2019 @ 7:12am 
Hi Digi. Can you now see other LCDs through yours now? Noticed this on someone's build using the DLC transparent LCD -

woostyboy Nov 25, 2019 @ 12:43am 
OK, I don't have the DLC. Never mind, thank you :)
Vas Nov 24, 2019 @ 6:35pm 
Don't forget that ship projector table, that one was stolen too.
Digi  [author] Nov 24, 2019 @ 4:48pm 
@woostyboy
No plans really.
Someone else did make rotated/stretched versions of the DLC one, with DLC requirement.

@Vas
Keen didn't take any model nor the tricks used in this mod.
Only thing they stole was the idea, which is a common one though, people likely had it before, I just was able to implement it with tricks.
That doesn't mean I like the situation with the Transparent LCD and Console Block.
I'm not a fan of mods being indirectly added as DLC.
Vas Nov 24, 2019 @ 3:50pm 
I'm surprised KeenSWH hasn't demanded you remove the mod since they basically stole it and made everyone have to pay to use it. xD

Keen has now stolen several mods. I raised a fit about one they stole and they took it out of the DLC and made it free to use. Perhaps you should throw a fit about them stealing your mod and get this into the base game free for everyone. :P

Or just add a tag line below known issues that says "Yes, I know KeenSWH stole my work". xD

I suggest print screening your mod original upload date and all in case Keen deletes it and tries to claim you violated rules or something. I don't trust them that much anymore.
woostyboy Nov 21, 2019 @ 7:32am 
Hi Digi. Not sure what the protocol would be now, as Keen have a similar block, but do you have any plans to make the 45 and 33 degree versions of you block please?

Thanks in advance and keep on modding!

:)

@Digi Thanks really for taking the time to send me to github. I could have sworn I looked for the update on the mod page but for some reason, I did not see that it was updated on the 24th (maybe a senior moment). So I thought Keen back ported their update and broke yours. Anyway, my bad. Also, thanks for your help and your mods. Dude you're totally awesome!
Digi  [author] Oct 29, 2019 @ 2:47pm 
@ziyhad
This mod got updated actually, I can't really support both current versions and older versions.
Feel free to get the older version to use locally from my github.
This is the version from january: https://github.com/THDigi/TransparentDisplay/tree/8250a583cdada1ca9af2f886e90485ae2fd62daa
ziyhad Oct 26, 2019 @ 6:14pm 
Thing that really sucks is that "they" (Keen) back ported the change for the mod to older beta's. I'm still playing 1.191.108 (I also tried 1.190.101, not working there either) and Digi's mod appears purple now. I'm pretty sure if I bought the DLC it wouldn't work in 1.191.108 but then, maybe I'm wrong. Not that I'm buying the DLC. Anyway, I thought I wasn't supposed to get any updates. Now that's real dirty! I guess that's what I get for thinking.
Voss Oct 26, 2019 @ 5:15am 
Nice to remember this mod isn't 3.99
Solraven Oct 25, 2019 @ 1:31am 
kind of BS that there selling a DLC with your block in it
sintri Oct 24, 2019 @ 10:46pm 
New transparency is sweet, least some good came out of that DLC.
Eisen Oct 24, 2019 @ 9:20pm 
Another Keen 'inspiration'
DeAnti Oct 24, 2019 @ 7:03pm 
@SuicideNeil lol Debo
SuicideNeil Oct 24, 2019 @ 1:56pm 
Digi: I made a new block.
Marek: That's mine now.
Digi: ?
Marek: I made a new block...
Imp Oct 24, 2019 @ 10:46am 
How do you feel your mod is now vanilla and payed for?
Mattler~~ Oct 1, 2019 @ 7:36am 
would it be possible to add these in slope form? then you'd be able to use them as a cockpit UI screen
JW62 Sep 18, 2019 @ 3:48pm 
Love this, Head's Up display, throw in my two cents for sloped, This and Whiplash Horizon are just perfect
Netherspark Aug 21, 2019 @ 2:33pm 
I just thought it would be cool if you could use these in place of windows as a kind of Head's Up Display for your ship (would be perfect with the new 'Script' readouts). Though it really needs them to be one-sided, aaand for the back of the panels to have the same color & tint as the windows :)
Digi  [author] Aug 21, 2019 @ 1:13pm 
Yes but then I need to add text direction variants for each shape... if I ever add more shapes xD
Netherspark Aug 21, 2019 @ 9:13am 
Is it at all possible to have a one-sided transparent display? So you have the image on one side but be blank/clear on the other?
Bazil T Yat Aug 20, 2019 @ 7:32am 
Can we have some sloped transparent screens? My forward nav bridge only has 3 flat windows I can turn into LCDs, and I have four LCDs worth of data to display XD
Syngather Jun 29, 2019 @ 1:15pm 
It seems to effect the screen facing inside the cube space (which when mounting this is really the one you want the most) vs the side flush against whatever your mounting to. (you can see this really well when mounting to a window)
Syngather Jun 29, 2019 @ 12:06pm 
Projectors don't seem to know the display is built. When setting a projector to Keep Projection and Show Only Buildable the projector continues to show the LCD as not built (even after it is), so the LCD and Projector fight over the same space and you get a weird flickering and most times can not read your display. Any idea other then turning off the projector how to fix this?
DethBringa Jun 17, 2019 @ 6:43pm 
Great mod!
Automatic LCDs 2 works fine although the !LINK command doesn't (not a major issue).
Any chance of doing the other LCDs? I'd love the 2x1 screens.
Also can you make it less dark, like almost 100% clear.
supersquid2000 Jun 1, 2019 @ 6:04pm 
What would be the possibility of setting a particular color for the background to make these go opaque when desired?
Zael'a May 29, 2019 @ 11:37am 
a thing i just noticed with the bridge i'm building i could need a centered screen, in the middle of the block. not sure if it'S possible to do but would be a nice addition for uneven blocksize builds ;)
Digi  [author] May 27, 2019 @ 8:04am 
Projections are using the same dithering transparency as this does, so yes these will cover projections and vice versa.
TheMorf May 27, 2019 @ 7:30am 
Hey, any one encountered issues with projectors fighting the lcd data?
woostyboy May 23, 2019 @ 1:03am 
Hi Dead Cat. These are visible from both sides. I think you can do that anyway. :)
Bazil T Yat May 17, 2019 @ 6:18am 
Can you add the bigger oblong screens too please?
Lady Sorcia Apr 11, 2019 @ 6:41am 
Could you do an inverted version (placing face is the front of the screen to be applied to a window)
Grimm Spector Mar 12, 2019 @ 12:12pm 
Ok thanks Digi, I'll ask them.
