This is fantastic! Very useful and easy to use.

Trying to use the custom data LCD option for a LCD to read a specific connector. LCD isn't updating and the script seems to have information missing - mainly the Master Options rule is not present in the current downloadable script.

Any direction of displaying a LCD screen to one connector? Obviously over multiple times.

As the whole idea is accurate and useful information.
I've actually chucked this script in favor of Telemetry Plus
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2856836020

Same info and more; regardless of docking state.

Kepp getting this error
Caught exception during execution of script:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Having an issue with tanks volumes displaying as 8x larger than reality.

For a docked LG ship with 1x O2 tank (volume 100KL) and 1x Small H2 tank (volume 1ML), the display reads.

[IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII] H2 Tanks 8 ML / 8 ML 100%
[IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII] O2 Tanks 800 KL / 800 KL 100%

Is there a way to not show ships docked to docked ships?

Example
Main ship running this script.

Large grid miner docked to main ship.
Small grid drones docked to miner.

On the displays in the main ship, I don't need to see the drones docked to the miner.

When I add a group name to the Custom Data, docked ships don't show up; only the unused connectors? I've got a group with four connectors. It only shows the connectors that aren't docked. When I dock to a connector, it just disappears from the list. I tested by moving a ship between the connectors.

display shows 4 of the same ship, dunno why. each dock/connector is being shown 4 times.

:P

Never mind, I am just dumb and forgot to engage the parking.

I have a problem where it won’t show that a ship is docked.

I renamed the connector and it dissapeared from the Monitored connectors even though they are in the group

Thank you ;)

Isy! I have been away from SE for a bit and I am so glad to see you're still updating your scripts. I think I have all of them in my mod list. Thank you so much for all the work you've done in creating and updating these scripts, they add so much to SE. And thank you for being a great member of the SE community! <3

I figured out my problem. I had two instances running (one on a carrier ship, one on the base) and they were colliding on the main LCD display. Changing the second instance to use a unique main LCD identifier fixed my problem.

script works perfectly fine. just tested it myself and i had no errors and or exceptions

This script is currently throwing an exception in the new 1.200 release.

Hi, is there a way for it to only show the connectors that is not docked on the LCD?

It does ;)

yep that should work.

I assume this can work on large ships that can have smaller ships docked to them?

You can also create a terminal group and put the name into the LCD's custom data config:

Put a single connector name or a groupname here.
Leave blank to monitor all!
monitoredConnectors=MY CONNECTOR GROUP
showGroupHeading=true

Is there a way we can add a keyword to to connector names to have them ignored/disregarded by the script? I usually use multiple connectors to dock so ships are perfectly aligned for extended ramps to the doorways to line up but connectors that are not connected to the conveyor system for this purpose screw up what is displayed in the LCD. Basically more than one connector and the LCD goes from the named connector I specified to monitor, to showing the entire list of all connectors.

Hehe, nice to hear, that you enjoy them ;)

ISY, Thank You, That was driving me crazy, That fixed the issue, I didn't realize there were additional settings in the LCD custom data, I guess i was accustomed to your Inventory Manager where once 'naming' your LCD everything just worked, never occurred to me to look there. Thanks you for all your scripts. I think I am sub'ed to all of them, and they have changed this game for me staying organised. I cant play SE without Inventory Manager, Block Renaming, Simple Doors and this script, Thanks again you have a subscriber for life.

Did you specify that group in the display as well?

Put a single connector name or a groupname here.
Leave blank to monitor all!
monitoredConnectors=MY CONNECTOR GROUP
showGroupHeading=true

Isy Is there a way to have the script monitor a set group of connectors but still not display free or empty connectors. I went to the main LCD into the custom data and edited showFreeConnectors=false however when I made a group its starts showing all connectors on the grid

Great improvement to this script as always I am very happy with your work

Sure.. You can specify, which connectors should be monitored in the custom data of the LCD.. Just create a group of the conntors, add the keyword to the screen, wait until the script picked it up and then edit the following part in the custom data:

Put a single connector name or a groupname here.
Leave blank to monitor all!
monitoredConnectors=
showGroupHeading=true

For example: If your group of connectors is named "Drone Connectors", it should look like this:

Put a single connector name or a groupname here.
Leave blank to monitor all!
monitoredConnectors=Drone Connectors
showGroupHeading=true

Can we set up multiple panels and have each panel monitor 4 connectors without scrolling? With adding many combat drones connected to the base, it would be easier to monitor their status.

Very useful, especiall health bar and warnings screen. It can work with current ship/base, not only docked?

Version 1.6.0:

- Added: Debug font support. Finally!
- Added: Support for rotated LCD panels.
- Added: Support for LCD panels on many different blocks, like cockpits, programmable blocks and so on. Just tag the block, you want to show the information on, with your wanted keyword, like '!IDS-main' and the script will automatically assign the first free LCD with your screen and set everything up for you in the custom data. The tag will then be replaced with the new generic [IsyLCD] tag. This also work together with other scripts like MMaster's Automatic LCDs 2!
- Added: A new bar was introduced: Health. This bar shows, how many of your ship's blocks are damaged.
- Added: A warnings and performance LCD was added to show various informations about the script. The warnings LCD for example shows damaged blocks on docked ships.
- Added: The default font, fontsize and padding for new LCD screens can now be set in the config topic 'LCD Panels'.

- Changed: The default keyword was transformed to IDS-main (warning case sensitive). Your old panels won't work anymore, so replace the old keyword !docked with the new IDS-main.
- Fixed: The script won't crash while docking / undocking anymore.
- Internal: Rewrote 90% of the script's code and kicked out old, clunky code.. The script should now run better on larger grids.

this script is outdated and might not work as intended. there is no ETA for an update because isy doesnt have the time to work on this script.

I'm having an issue where my large grid ships are showing only the grid numbers (Large Grid XXXX) rather than the ships names.
I have verified that the ships are named correctly in the info panel and I am the owner of the ships.

The ships connectors are on pistons to extend their reach for docking in tighter areas. Could this be causing the issue?

Something is causing this script to fail with a 'Null reference exception' at 'Program.GetShipStats()' and at 'Program.Main()', Ship ID 2...?

It was working in this world earlier in the week. Anyone know what might be causing me problems?

Love the script
and it worked for me for quite a while in another save/world/game/thingy

now though I seem to be getting crashes when ships undock.
the display ends up stuck showing just the name of the ship that was undocking but none of the rest of the info of it.

I assume that it tried to scan the ship's stats but got interrupted by the undock, thus being unable to continue/complete the scan, thereby having the script trying to access a no-longer valid/available entity and thus crashing.

it doesn't always show an error on the programming block, but when it does it says "index out of range in CreateScrollingText" plus a traceback


could you kindly take a look at that?


note: I use the PAM autominer script and have 4 miners come and go as they please.

Thanks.. Enjoy it while it lasts because the next version will definitely be minified and thus unreadable because of the changes to the way it displays the contents on the LCD..

i must say, the //notation in the script makes it a nice tool to learn a bit of how the script operates and what does what.

Yeah, this is in the works for a long time already.. But I didn't find the time to complete it yet.. I hope I get it done until the end of the year ;)

can we get this one in DEBUG font so it matches the inventory script? I managed to edit the script to use DEBUG, but the progress bars are kinda shor and I'm dumb when it comes to C#.

No, only how full the storage of a ship is in general..

Can I use your script to track which components are in the storage?

Nice to see you're still working on this script, I just wanted to use a control seat's display, but it doesn't work. Hope for an update soon.

No, it doesn't..

Does this still require a timer block? I tried searching, but that is difficult. I thought scripts could autoexecute?

it has to be lower case..

showGroupHeading=False seam to not work :/

This implementation of the LCD output is very outdated and the script as well.. I was working on an update for it but didn't find the time to do so, yet..

charsPerline needs to account for size and orientation of the panel .. I'm using it on a 1x2 panel rotated 90 degrees and I had to go in and manually cut charsPerline in half.
