Trivial alignment crosshair mod
Posted: Wed May 29, 2019 7:24 am
I love the functionality of the grid Debug (F4) option. I use it to chunk align my builds and I use it to help me line up belts and such over longer distances.
But... I am so used to it that I don't even notice it and inevitably take screenshots that hurt people's eyes. This can be improved by using Chunky Chunks to show only chunk lines, but I would lose the alignment assist.
So... It would be great to have a mod that draws a vertical and horizontal line (multi-screen/infinite crosshair) at the mouse position when a key is pressed (perhaps alt-left-mouse click) and clears all previously placed lines when another key is pressed (perhaps alt-right-mouse click) . Better yet if while holding Alt down the crosshair displays but is not placed.
That way when you need to align you can just place a crosshair or two and easily clear it when done.
Given that Chunky Chunks uses such lines I suspect that it would be possible and maybe even easy to do. I hope someone likes the idea and picks it up.
