ScriptedScreens Vector [StationeersLaunchPad]

ScriptedScreens Vector

Crisp, animated vector graphics for ScriptedScreens consoles. Client-side only.

Adds a vector element: describe a screen once -- shapes, gradients, text, pictures -- and the game draws it as sharp geometry at any size and animates it on your machine. No per-frame Lua, no per-frame network traffic, and a fraction of the cost of a canvas console.

Highlights

• Rounded panels, paths, liquid tanks, waves, charts and particle fields
• Linear, radial and conic gradients, real transparency, soft and inner shadows
• Any number -- and any colour -- can be an expression over time, repeat index or your data, so gauges move smoothly and a button lights under the pointer with nothing sent to the chip
• Clipping, scrolling lists, clickable nodes, and text in any game font or a Google Font the page asks for
• Tessellated on a worker thread: an animated console costs well under 1% of a frame

Getting started

The mod folder holds nineteen examples that run on paste, a guide (README.md), a full reference (REFERENCE.md) and the release history (CHANGELOG.md), also on GitHub. With StationeersLua installed, AI editors can read and search the same docs through its MCP server.

What's new (0.11.94 to 0.11.117)

• Pages bring their own fonts. A FONT line names a Google Fonts link, every player's game fetches it (with the ScriptedScreens Fonts mod), and labels switch to it when it arrives -- no re-push
• Shadows meet borders the way a browser draws them: inset shadows fade their full depth inside rounded panels, and a border no longer hides its own shadow
• Thin borders stay crisp at any size and distance, and shapes stay sharp when you walk right up to a console
• Edges are smoothed per pixel: the automatic soft edge stays about 1.3 screen pixels wide however steeply you look at a console
• Dashed lines of any length draw without stalling the game, and odd dash patterns alternate correctly
• Text outlines are as wide as a browser draws them, and sending a console the same data again no longer redraws it
• Mistakes are reported, not silent -- dozens of quiet failures now show the problem border and a line in vector_stats
• ver now reads major*1000000 + minor*1000 + patch, so a newer version always compares higher -- check any script that compares it
• A new example: fonts from the web
• Many fixes, including one that could end the game
