so people can make little movies with friends in this game

can you make a camera that takes a image converts the image into text and sends it to a lcd or maybe have it take a ton of images and sends it into a lcd and plays it like a video on the lcd

Hello there Whip, first of all thank you for your mods. I'm glad to see that after a long time away they basically still work.
This one included.
But would it be possible for the mod to work with Top Mounted Cameras too? I seem to be using that variant more often hehe.
I have tried to edit it for my single player game, but I failed hard and getting compiling errors (I have no clue about coding whatsoever).

I know this is a big ask. And if it's not possible or you don't have the time, don't worry !
Meanwhile I'll try to change setups to use the normal cameras.

EDIT : I think I actually managed to do it. The compiling error was because of duplicate commands being present (I think).
If you want I can send you the changes so you can review and maybe update.
To be clear, the adaptation I did is only for my own single player world. Will not be uploaded ever.

ah ok, great mod too :) keep up the great work

not possible without plugins

@Whiplash141 i love these scripts and mods you make, but i have an idea for a mod or script since i have seen somewhere another mod, but it has been lost and gone for a while, the mod / script would basically take a text LCD or panel, and allow you to see what your camera sees on the panel, so you don't have to press the button to look into the camera itself, it would allow people to make really cool attack helicopters or other ships with panels inside allowing you to turn on the camera and see what the camera sees on a panel

srry if i am just repeating what i had already said, and if there is already a mod or script like what i am proposing, and if there is, if anyone could please tell me what it's name is, because i was looking for one but i haven't been able to find one.

If you're annoyed by the logo (it's fairly big, make it smaller please?), the mod is in steamapps/workshop/content/244850/704012607 (244850 is the games ID, 704012607 the mods), just edit the .dds image.
To avoid override by updates, rename the mods folder, and then unsubscribe in Steam. The renamed folder will then be happily loaded by the Game.
But again, no stealing! Only do this for convenience.

i see, thanks.
I came back into SE after a long while, apparently I can just assign the camera into the toolbar with a view activator.
Didn't see it take effect ingame even though i've picked and loaded it.

Its just a camera overlay: a static, transparent image.

Man, I'm sorry you've had to go through a mod theft like this.
I've subbed but I didn't understand exactly what this mod does, if it's some sort of Optical Scope for LR weapons and scouting\spying or can it be implemented as a side or reverse cam for landings?
Are there any parameters that might be changed to achieve the latter ingame?

o.O this mod just changes a texture. Is this the only mod in your world?

The view from the top-mounted camera appears to be from behind it when using this mod.

Oh and ya keep logo. I think actually makes it all look better.

Recently came back to SE, glad to see your still kicking around :-)
Qoute.. Don't steal my ♥♥♥♥. Thanks.
every time i see that makes me laugh :-) Though sad had to actually put that..

But i digress, I know said need a plugin for render. But could or would you ever be willing to make plugin? Not much on the plugin list. And would love to see more of your stuff on it.I use all of yours on it to :-) Though still trying get handle around turret one.

But either way glad your still modding :-)

Thx, fixed ;)

Snark shirt link is broken pls fix, I <3 your snark

Thanks :)

Nope, that would involve a render modification using a plugin

Is it possible to make the Camera Feed go onto an LCD. I want a protected cockpit instead of a windowed one

As of Space Engineers v1.201 on April 28, 2022 this mod is finally superseded in a vanilla update. Now if only we could shrink the size of those pre-1998 S3TC .dds texture files using the newer Vulkan variable block size encoders, and upgrade some of the rendering algorithms so it runs faster and looks better. After that, some kinematics and voxel handling would be nice to have upgraded.

Thanks

"Can I use the scripts from your mod because I can't edit the HUD of the search lights with the sbc files."

Ya, just leave credit

Those mil dots are entirely made up and i put them there because i though they looked cool lmao

This makes aiming with custom turrets so much easier. No more window cling stickers on my computer monitor. It could use some smaller divisions in the first section, though; aiming with a railgun doesn't need as much adjustment for drop.

Hi Whip, I've been having an issue the last few days where as soon as I move while viewing through the camera, I immediately return to third person view. I do not know however if this is an issue with the mod or if it's a general SE camera bug. Do you have any insight?

21:9 would be nice

Can we get a 21:9 version? It's still usable while stretched just not as pretty.

Can you update this for Spotlight from DLC Warfare2 ? THX

Nevermind i was looking through turrets and not the camera. xD So yeah still works. Its been a while.

gonna check it out then. thanks for the reply

It does still work, I used it yesterday.

This mod does not work anymore. will this be updated ?

@Geronimo, what about the camera lcd plugin by avaness, it lets me see what on the camera on an lcd and works really well, however i think there is a general lcd bug that can cause shadows to flicker.

If anyone could find a way around I know you could. Otherwise yeah, such a key feature will be lost forever since Keen changed things.

Requires a plugin to modify the renderer. Can't be done with only a mod.

Hey Whip, could be the one to tackle the revive of the mythical live lcd camera mod? This thing has been sorely missed for years.

Double tapping V should recenter

Is there an option to reset the camera to the center after panning around? I have not found one yet, if it exists. I have been saving my game and reloading it, which always recenters the camera. I am thinking there might be an easier way?

Hey Whip could we get an update or alternative mod that moves the trademark to the left side for use with Radar?

Nope it does not. If you are using a mod like digi's camera panning, that may interfere. An easy way to check is to start the map in single player, hit F11 and enable debug draw. Then the raycasts will be drawn on screen

does this interfere with camera locking for LAMP? i cant get my cameras to lock

Unfortunately when I requested this for a server the admins said it only works for 16:9 displays. Really need instructions on how to do this client-side.

Yep, just give credit

Can I reuse the code for my own camera overlay?

actually I really like the little emblem in the corner.

like this?

Any chance to have this for weapons view ?

Whip just wanted to say Thank You for being a part of the SE community. Your work is exceptional and I always find myself using many of your contribs. Thanks for being awesome and making SE that much more enjoyable.
