LAST CONFIRMED WORKING FALL 2019

I might get back to this if I return to Space Engineers, but I haven't really played in a long time... and the new oxygen gain mechanics make this mod kinda redundant since there is nothing to gain by opening your visor.

Never again will you forget to toggle your visor or waste that precious suit oxygen!

This will automatically open your helmet visor when in high oxygen environments, and automatically close your helmet when you leave them. This works both on planets with oxygen atmosphere AND pressurized grids.

It can also be toggled on and off by each user individually if you want to put it on your server. (also works offline and singleplayer)

Chat Commands:

  • "/hat help" Displays help info, relaying how to toggle settings and the current activation status of the mod for you.
  • "/hat off" Turns off the mod.
  • "/hat on" Turns on the mod. (It is on by default)
  • "/hat overridetime [seconds]" Sets the override delay. (10 by default)
  • "/hat debug" Lists debug commands.

Note: If you suddenly decompress an airlock you MIGHT take up to 7% health damage to suffocation, because there is no way to predict depressurization. This isn't me, it happens because game code runs before mod code.

How To: Manual Override Mode

Pressing your keybind for toggling the visor will trigger a manual override mode that disables the automatic switching, leaving you in complete control of your visor. After a set amount of time (10 seconds by default) the visor will switch back to automatic mode.

If you encounter a bug, please enable verbose logging ("/hat verboselog") and send the log file to sgcam8@gmail.com so that I can fix it!
