The Thing continues!

What is new in FSD v2:

• more supported blocks (Vents, Parachute Crates, Sorters, Cockpits, Doors, Gates etc.)
• optional display of block integrity
• optional display of block size and type
• (Large Grid or Small Grid, Large Medium or Small Size)
• optional identification of which information is displayed (like fuel load or power load)
• the bar graphs change color gradually from red to green (not abruptly red / cyan / green)
• the frame color now indicates the status of the block (working / not working / damaged)
• the ability to condense a whole group of icons into a single one (displaying the average)
• the ability to display missing blocks
• even unsupported terminal blocks can be displayed(only block integrity / health)
• all elements can be individually colored (without changing the script code)
• a new fast mode (for higher framerates)
• the ability to show different display layouts on a single display
• (basically a slideshow showing different screens on a single LCD)
• a sequencer to control the change of display layouts
• the ability to change some values via buttons / sensors / timers / etc.
• (Framerate / display layouts / change rate of display layout)
• patching the problem when SE is running with Cyrillic font
• tons of bugfixes, optimizations and other stuff

Back in April 2020 Coffee created Fancy Status Displays. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2071102021 Then in Mai Coffee allowed me to join the team. Many additions and bugfixes were made. Then in August I sadly lost contact to Coffee. With this I lost the ability to commit updates. So I had to publish a new version of FSD.

What is FSD? This thing is a script, not a mod. It must not appear in any modlist. Just subscribe as a client, and load it into a programmable block in game.

Configure your cockpits, control stations, programmable blocks, lcds' (basically everything that has a screen) to display the fill level of your grid blocks.

Finally the New Guide: (with all the new features) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2362849801

Quick Example:

Data-Set Example for the Custom Data field in a normal screen:

Data-Set Example for the Custom Data field in a cockpit with multiple screens:

ShowStats
Panel 0
Battery,optional:WideBar
Hydrogen
Panel 3
Cargo
Panel 1
Drill
Connector

CAUTION When using several instances of FSD on connected grids: FSD is using a mechanism to prevent interference between the programmable blocks (PB). In such cases the PB will likely report: "This Programming block is handling 0 LCD Panels at the moment" In such a case insert the following line (at the very top) into the CustomData field of the PB: FSD options: NoSubgridLCDs

This version also supports many other visual additions.

Also a big, big thanks to: Malware for his visual studio plugin Whiplash141 for his Image Converter Coffee for the initial script and all of you for your ideas and suggestions

P.S. All screenshot are made with only FSD v2 running. None other scripts or graphical mods were used to generate the graphics shown.
