Remote LCD Network (FIX + UPDATE)

Description
This script is a FIX and UPDATE of a popular script (Remote LCD Network by jerry)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=915118478

TAGs: LCD Mirroring, LCD Sharing, Share LCD

This script takes lcd from a transmitting ship and paste it onto a lcd on a receiving ship. This allows compatibility with every script that uses lcds with no effort on the part of other scripters. This script is used for broadcasting station or drone status onto a remote bridge many kilometers away to the safety of a bunker. Drones could be setup to transmit its status to a full sized bridge built on a station or a drone ship. Remote mining stations could have damage reports and inventory summary transmitted to a master hub.

This script sends everything about the lcd (Font, Font Size, text) so the user won't have to set lcds up twice. The possibilities are endless!

Setup:
1. Place a programming block on both ships.
2. Tag all displays you want to transmit to others [SEND: group name]. Group name could be anything. Spaces are ignored.
3. Tag all displays you want to receive from others [RCV: group name]. Use the same group name as the LCD you want to receive from on the other ship.
6. (Optional) Tag a display [LCD_RELAY] to get status updates
You can make the script listen to specific ships broadcast by changing the recieveFromGrid field to the name of the transmitter ship.

TAGGING = Append to name of LCD. ( [SEND: group1] or [RCV: group1] )

Example:
Let say, LCD name is 'LCD1' on sender ship and 'LCD2' on Receiver Ship then, following shall be appended to the name of LCDs

To Send LCD data:
LCD1 [SEND: group1]

To read Same LCD on Remote Ship
LCD2 [RCV: group1]

This Script works for both Antenna and Laser Antenna
Can be broadcasted to multiple screens from one LCD using antenna to multiple stations.
Note: In case of Laser Antenna, Same screen cannot be broadcasted to multiple stations, as lasers do not broadcast. they make 1 to 1 connection only.

Recommanded scripts to copy and transmit:
MMaster's ALCD 2
Floor Plan Script
TIM
Whips artificial horizon

if it would work for blocks with multiple screens it would be great. change name of programming block ,use screen of it with some ingame scripts or other scripts to put data there and you get very compact data transmission

echoing a question earlier: is it possible to get this to work with consoles/cockpits with multiple screen indices?

:steamthumbsup: I'm not familiar with sharing scripts. Maybe to use it as the thumbnail you have to put it in the folder named as thumb.jpg or thumb.png. That way it'll be the same thumb for people in the in-game browser.

I'll stay subscribed to this. If for some reason you decide to update it again I'll change the year number and the colors a bit.

Thanks Jack, really appreciate it. :)

@AI Bot [author]: Figured it out. Working now! I was using the old version. Apparently a lot of it still works but some of it doesn't. I made a thum.jpg image so I didn't get that confused again so I could stay subscribed to Jerry's original version to support it. Feel free to use the thumb image if you'd like to (since there isn't one): https://i.imgur.com/4uP2Qh4.jpg

I dumped my mods and scripts out of appdata and steamapps\workshop\content to run vanilla for a game or 2 then I'll re-subscribe. I ran this script and other mods offline last time I played because I was playing offline. Maybe something got mixed together somehow, or something..

@Jack Schitt, can you recheck if LCD you are trying to read from is from same ship, and not from connected ship? There is a possibility that you might have renamed LCD on connected ship , rather than the one on primary ship.
