[MOD 0.13] Smart Display - circuit informations display

[binbinhfr]

Hi, thx for your return.
Yes I will create an intermediate size.
But I wonder what kind of circuit value has a decimal part that could be printed ? As far as I know, all these values are integer, no ? Please give me an example, so that I can figure it out.

I was more thinking simply allowing a way to put a period or comma x # of characters from a side. I don't think you can have decimals, but you could have large numbers where a few commas could be nice.

So here is a new version with some of the features you asked :
- x1.5 scale
- thousands separators (the separator is configurable in config.lua)
- bonus: kilo/mega/giga/tera divisors.

For the color thing, I will think about it, but it seems difficult because each letter/size is an object type. I already create about 100 objects for each ascii char, mulitplied by the number of avalaible sizes, so it would multiply also by the number of colors... It would be huge.

Cool thanks.

I understand about the colors. Thanks for looking into it.

Thanks for this mod!

Unfortunately it crashes for me when loading a game without the mod installed.

Factorio 0.12.33
SmartDisplay 1.0.5

Error while running the on_configuration_changed: __SmartDisplay__/control.lua:45: attempt to compare nil with string

[binbinhfr]

Sorry, stupid missing test.
Here is v1.0.6

Another nice mod from binbinfr. Thank you. And output to the map too, thats just such a nice bonus.
I was gonna play some with the combinators but gave up because I couldn't even debug it because you can't even read the output of nodes. Now it's at least somewhat possible though a bit tedious.

Thanks for your appreciated comments. It's nice to have some feedback.

Hallo, after doing my first vanilla game (240+ hours to research everything, test a lot of mechanics, the trains, etc, and finally start a rocket on a map with only 4 oil spots on 3 locations ), i came to these forums (btw: just registered, doing my first post ) and started looking for nice small little mods , finding (among others) Time Tools, Logistic Combinators and Nixie Tubes, which enabled me to create some really nice looking displays (big thanks to all these authors), although that took up a lot of space and resources.

Looking further, i finally found this mod which looks really promising to do something similar to what i did with the tubes (and even more) in a very compact way. big thanks again.


back to the question about "fog of war" and radar:

... Map is not refreshing under Fog of War ... it need radar

It's a factorio limitation. It would be too cheaty to automatically integrate a free radar in these display

and most of the time, such an extra radar wouldn't be needed anyway when displaying labels in the own main base. but for remote outposts, there are other solutions besides a large vanilla radar: While looking for those small helpers, i also found several radar mods to show larger or smaller areas in many variations. One of them (which i didn't test yet myself) is Security Cameras.

Description: Adds security cameras, extremely small (and cheap ) "radar" that only reveal the map chunk they're in. Primarily intended for use in accompanying rail track so a rail system is always visible.

To me, that looks promising when you only want to show some specific small location like a chunk with labels that this mod shows in an outpost on the M-map.

Hi Anson,
Good idea, I'll have a look at it.

EDIT : here it is : v1.0.7 with integrated mini radar !

EDIT 2 : this option can be disabled in config.lua for those who think this little "free" radar is too OP.

I really really like this so thank you very much for releasing it. The thousand separators and the kilo/giga options are also very nice.

Hi

I really appreciate this mod, if you have the time I would really appreciate if you could add the following:

Either a new static type with no power requirement or skip the power requirement if you only want static text.
The reason for this is to make notes to self and it is also VERY useful to write notes to friends in multiplayer. In larger bases where multiple people work together this is epic win!

Ability to show item name based on for example belt or chest content. I run multiple mods and have a huge number of materials on the map, sometimes it is simply a pain to identify what belt contains what. This would mostly be used on a bus to label each lane for easy identification.

A nice to have feature would be if the signs behave like normal items so they could be used in blueprints as well.

Thanks for a great mod!
