Would it be too much to ask for having the old iconic blue UI/HUD as a mod?

Retro HUD maybe?

I am just wondering, is there any way to use this on any MP server without having the admins add it on?

Oops wrong links!

These will work:

I just wanted to say that I tried putting every vanilla block small and large in a world of the most current version (1.183.2) with all of the retro mods + the old emissive light colors and everything looks so gooooood! I've gotta say I love the old artstyle, much more than the current one!

Sadly, there are still a few blocks that have little problems. I took this screenshot for every block that isn't affected by the mod (the small ship interior light too) https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/857229350281048347/B93B323F52CE299C20AD8E83A9D74D5CF141AA84/|

Also, there are some blocks for which the emissive lights are defficient https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/857229350281051044/1545BE19A343510D574AC7B16C7D2CCEF5C6CB8E/ the gravity generator's color magically worked when I placed it there, but wasn't working at first.

That's it! Thank you for this amazing mod and I hope it will contine to be supported in the future :)

@Ayelike, If Keen fails to fix the bug, I may redo them, yes.

Are you planning on re-doing the retro functional blocks? I see you removed them due to a terrible game hang bug.

But, why?

Thanks Phoenix :) Yeah, you stated it's a bug so just wanted to make sure it's the same I was thinking about. The fix could be out of date, but who knows ;) I made it just after finishing a model I wanted to release (small hydrogen tank 1x2x1 for large ships). I was disappointed because I made 3 LOD levels and they didn't work - so I made this fix instead of releasing the mod.

@Harven, I know it's a game bug, and that's what I was planning to do. Thanks for the PR. I'll forward it to the devs, though it might be out of date now.

Hey, about the LOD problem: I don't think you can fix it by yourself. I'm guessing you will rename LOD models so they will be different than new ones. This should work in theory but I will not because of the same bug that causes new LODs to be displayed. The problem is that the game looks for LOD models only inside game's content directory. So if you rename your LOD models, the game will display no LODs at all (it will show base models all the time). I made a fix for this long time ago and it's waiting to be pulled at github: https://github.com/KeenSoftwareHouse/SpaceEngineers/pull/531

The good old days of last week, yeah. ;)
