Projector Preview - miniature blueprint display + damage status

In 1 collection by Digi
Digi's Space Engineers mods

Description
Augments the projector with a miniature projection option.

Features:
  • Preview mode - miniature blueprint view.
  • Scale, move and rotate the miniature with precision, can even be positioned inside cockpits.
  • Status mode shows damaged blocks, incorrect blocks, incorrect color, etc.
  • See-through armor/decorations to see internal systems better.
  • Ability to load the projector's ship as a projection without needing to make it a blueprint first.


Usage
To use, simply load a blueprint in any projector and then change the projector to Preview mode in its terminal (see last screenshot).

The other settings have their function explained in the tooltip so that's about it.

The projection miniature gets hidden beyond 50m multiplied by the projection scale.


Mods that go well with this:
Holographic Projector (not mine :P)


Notes:
(not really issues but game's regular behavior)
- Projector can't load the other grid size (e.g. small projector can't load large grids).
- Projector can't load connected grids.
- Transparency is affected by FXAA.


Issues
- Fixed Edges on the projection.
- Fixed Rotor heads don't spawn on blocks placed in a grid with a projector with preview mode turned on.
- Fixed The hologram effect does not glow in darkness.


Debugging
Some verbose logging messages can be enabled to debug issues.
NOTE: This will create a lot more text in info.log, don't enable it if you don't need it.
Create a file named "debug" (no extension) in %appdata%\SpaceEngineers\Storage\517675282.sbm_ProjectorPreview\ to enable it on that machine only.
The mod only checks on world load for that file to determine if it enables debug messaging or not.

I think I added you on 5th when you posted that, or I might've forgotten, but anyway, just add me on steam if you want to send these in private. Profile comments are not private.

hello, just following up on the last report, another thing that could be an issue is that there are a hand full of projectors around the base and on the ships, that could be one of the things causing the crash, and as for commutation, just message me on my profile DM, as i cannot seem to find yours

i would rather steam DM, you might need to message me

Getting the log: https://spaceengineers.wiki.gg/wiki/Support#Where_are_My_Log_Files?
Can be posted here via a text sharing site (like pastebin.com for example), but if you don't want it here then feel free to DM me on steam or discord @m_digi

The world contains the mods list so that one is enough, although private isn't accessible I believe, you should have an unlisted option too.

@Digi i would be happy to provide the crash log, if you could walk me though how to get to them, as for the world, i can upload the world to the workshop and have it set to private and give you the link, unless there are any other ways you would prefer me to give access to a copy of the world, and i can also provide the other mods that i have enabled in case you would like to check for conflicting mods, i only have a few of them.
Digi  [author] 5 Dec, 2024 @ 12:07am 
@Wigza I'll need the crash log and ideally the world too so I can replicate it.
Wigza 4 Dec, 2024 @ 10:23pm 
i am reporting a bug, on large part count worlds, the with the mod enabled the game crashes on startup just before you are meant to spawn, then randomly crashes when you do get to load the world when you just play the game, the start up crash happens consistently, but only when the mod is enabled, please look in to this, this mod is too useful to not have

Hey I am big fan of your mod and I was wondering if there would be a feature to remove the dither effect from projections to make them look real.

Having an issue today,

The projector makes 2 projections, 1 in full scale, one in preview scale, when switching to preview mode both disappear?

Alright I'll poke at it with DNSpy tomorrow and see if anything crops up, or isolate projector mods at the very least, thanks Digi.
