Cool, but the yaw, pitch and roll commands don't seem to be doing anything....

Yeah, this is genius, THX!)

Can I project images by using that monospace trick we use in LCDs?

I love the idea of this mod. The only (minor) issue is that the text projects upside down, and all of the directional translations are from a different orientation than the projector's correct up/front orientation. In this shot, the text translation is up 5 and left 5, but the text is displaying down and back. https://imgur.com/RToE7ZD

The projector's 'down' is the face that has the 4 bracket/notches, and the 'front' is the face with the 2 bracket/notches. This makes it difficult to correctly position the text when basing it off the projector's orientation.

Updated to v2 of the api.

@DraygoKorvan,

is there a image projector whcih allows you to display custom images through a projector?

nvm, I see that opacity is set by the alpha channel in (r,g,b,a). So I guess my question is, is it possible to have a higher opacity than 255. Such that the text appears as solid letters

Ah I see, it was in the video. Thanks. Another question, is it possible to modify the opacity of the projected text? For example, is it possible to make it fully opaque, like a solid block of text.

The reason I'm asking is because if I project the text infront of a grid made of several colors, the text color mixes with the grid color and gives an uneven look

<color=colorname>[text] or <color=r,g,b> or <color=r,g,b,a>

Is it possible to make the projected text a different color

This mod is Fantastic... added the right touches to my Elite games Coriolis Station

You can use a PB for that.

@DraygoKorvan Any way to let it display text drawn from an LCD - udpading the text as teh lcd gets updated?

can a single Projector be made to generate several text messages in different zones?

Still working?

API has been localized so this now supports all characters. In addition the font texture has been cleaned up (Thanks midspace). Everything should look nicer.

I can imagine 90% of players that use this would just project FU across the universe. ^^

Hey Draygo, I'm sure by now you've seen it, but thought I'd throw my error log at you.. which is much shorter than most everyone else's:

mod_warning: Text Projector, in file:
Possible entity type script logic collision

That's it xD.. not bad for an error log if I may say so.. cheers

Any modded projector also automatically gets the functionality in this mod. So go ahead and mod one or get a modder to make one :)

I tested this mod and its simply amazing.
One thing I noticed now that I want projectors everywhere, we need smaller projectors!
Maybe you could add some small projector, like a small ball placed like the walllights. Or make a modded walllight, that functions as a projector at the same time or add that funtionality to the default walllight?

I mean this mod http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=428842256

@DraygoKorvan, how about Digi's "Helmet mod"? You may use like it draw interface, but just use your HUD to draw, rather than helmet itself.

Cant, sadly projectors are one of the items that i cant seem to write custom gui controls for.

Still need to store the data there though.

This really needs a GUI instead of stuffin' everything in block's customname.

Awesome mod, though. I guess I will make myself a clock with it.

Hm, first time I think you use Programmable block to rotate text, but you use rotors :D

There are artifacts in the letters when you are close to them. They will be cleaned up eventually but that takes a lot of time and effort to clean out the artifiacts in roughly 200 files.

How does your game look so good? It looks crisp, and fresh.

Good mod

Thank you, Draygo!

Should be added. Enjoy. <br> tag will move the text to a new line.

I will add it as a <br> tag in a bit.

I'll have to add that feature unless you can add the 'enter' character to block names (probably not)

@DraygoKorvan no, I meant if it's possible to make multi-lined text=) Really want to make it work with Easy Automation and make like floating status screen.

you can change the text with the help of a script linked in the description.

Is it possible to switch lines in the projector name?

Draygo at it again!! Just keep spoiling us why don't you!!

Oh, this and EasyAutomation script should be aweome to make like holographic menus and stuff. Thank you so much, it's an awesome mod!

Noyce !

awesome idea! original!

god dam! crazy mod!

Thanks

/notes Huge Success!
