[MOD 0.12.x] Nixie Tubes - numeric display elements

[impetus maximus]

i've always found github hard to navigate. i just visited the nixie tube's github, and i don't see any discussions.

I wanted to build a nixie tube clock, but it does not look so good when leading zeroes are hidden. I wrote this patch to zero pad 2-digit nixie tubes only.

Code: Select all

    local format = "%i"

    -- Zero pad 2-digit nixie tubes
    if global.controllers[entity.unit_number]
    and global.nextdigit[entity.unit_number]
    and global.nextdigit[entity.unit_number].valid
    and not global.nextdigit[global.nextdigit[entity.unit_number].unit_number] then 
      format = "%02i"
    end

    if float and hex then
      format = "%A"

Add 100 (or 10000 or whatever) to the signal so it's longer than the display and it will be truncated leaving the leading zeroes
