I can see in the comments that people are having audio desync issues - I've heard that watching it directly on UA-cam helps, but not for everyone. If you've got some recommendation how to fix the audio desync for people - please let us know. As far as I know I can't do anything about the audio desync. The video is 5 years old and worked fine until recently. Even today I can watch it without seeing / hearing any desync in firefox browser. I'm sorry about the inconvenience - if you can't watch the video I can just recommend to read the written guide that is much more up-to-date than the video: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=407158161
Thanks for the layman explanation....BTW your English is good enough for English speaking people to understand....Good Job Buddy! Please give a big thank you to all those involved for me. Thanks Guys!
I've been playing vanilla Space Engineers for a few months now. After getting the basics down I've gone onto the workshop to add to the game experience. This is a MUST HAVE script that I look forward to programming in my world. Thank you very much for making this item.
No! Thank YOU! You just added 1000 hours of playtime to my favorite game. It's people like you that, by far, make this one of the best gaming communities out there. I mean you even went to the trouble to make video guide. You are awsome thanks a bunch! :)
You made this script that user friendly and polished that it simply makes me feel happy just watching it. I can see that you put a lot of hard work and dedication in it Very well done sir, know that your work is very much appreciated :D
Thanks for this wonderful tutorial. Perfectly understandable, and om not even native English speaker. Just some notes on the start (since Space Engineers was updated); 1. After clicking EDIT on the Programmable block the button is now called "Browse Scripts". 2. After selecting Automatic LCDs2 The "OK" button is now "Copy to Editor". 3. In the code editor you then only need to click "Check Code" and after that "OK" Hope this removes some doubts from newer users.
Very useful tutorial ^^ I've been using your script as -THE- source of vital & additional infos in SE since you started with this awesome project. Thank you for all the incredible work, I certainly cannot play SE without this anymore - i'm eager to update to this magnificent version two. Merry Christmas man!
thank you for all your hard work on this script. i have been using your 1st lcd script for my ships for some time now. and i love it. i cant wait to use this one now! btw love your voice and your english has gotten better since last vid as well. awesome!
This is perfect, just what I was looking for. You did a great job, the script is awesome and this tutorial is one of the best I've ever followed. Thanks a lot from me and all my space crew ♥ hugs from Italy
This script is brilliant. Thank you very much for sharing it with us and providing a very useful tutorial as well as the incredibly detailed written instructions. This programme is far superior to TIM. Don't get me wrong, TIM is a fine tool for managing inventories, as it is meant to do, but it is limited in its capabilities when it comes to displaying information on LCDs. Whereas this programmes sole purpose is to provide information via LCDs and as such its abilities appear to be almost boundless. Although I found the learning curve to be quite steep, it was thankfully not too high. Once the fundamentals were grasped, the rest fell into place. I hope that the developers see their way to incorporating this into the game. Thanks again and the cheque is in the mail.
Please consider doing a whole new video on this. After seeing this script on a friend's base I decided to try and add it to my new gameplay. I am trying to get it running on my base BUT due to the audio sync issue and the text comments not being clear all I can get on my LCDs for the base is "Booting up". The Programable block and timer block go in a cycle of turning off when you turn on the other. Thanks so much again for the work and the efforts.
This works great! My only issue is that everything is jammed together... I am actively searching for a way to add a SPACE between the the lines on the screen? Top notch job with this! Your English is fantastic! I'm old and half deaf and I understand you very well! Keep up the good work!
This is a fantastic product! This quality of a mod is the reason I wouldn't mind if steam implemented so that you have to pay for some mods. This should be a vanilla game function.
My question was how to show a single item in my containers (since i built an ice mining station and just want to see how much ice I have) but I was having trouble. Answer was at 18:05. "InvListX {G:Containers} +ice" I had to add the group for some reason. I couldn't just look up +ice. TMYK!
Can you do an update to the video for this script? It is more than 3 years since you made this video and I can't really find any updated video of this script.
No I do not plan to upload new video - everything explained here still works as far as I know. The game changed a bit but I think its still understandable how to use the script from this video. This is just for understanding basics - you should read the written guide if you want to use all features of the script (link in description).
at 9:20 mins you can see both ingot and ore calculated. but on my lcd screen only ingots are calculated. even when i do +ore, it doesnt read the ore in my base
This doesn't load on my dedicated server, please help. I have scripts on, im admined, ive tried everything from re downloading it to downloading it, im subscribed, i have the [LCD] on it, i've reloaded the server, ive tried it in offline mode, when i place the programmable block there is no option for me to "edit" it only says edit text and says that lcds2 isnt working., but it works on my single player game.
I'm using the newest version and the LCD doesn't display anything. but when I right click it the text is there. What could I do to fix this? (Yes it's owned by me and it's powered. It just says ONLINE no matter what I do)
Please help i do step by step but still lcd display shows online black screen when i will change programable block and timer block to be owned by me it already says owned by me as default when i place both blocks even the lcd displays says owned by me
Nvm it worked fine when i tested the lcd with the commands i was confused at first when it didnt showed the text when you changed the blocks to owned by me
This is a great Script. I have some bug though that bugs the script UI window so none of the buttons work. Only ALT-F4 allows me to quit the game. I am going through my mods one by one to see which one could be doing it. It is very time consuming.
Yes, but only if you have empty argument written in prog block control panel. If you set up timer to run PB with default argument it will use the argument that is written there. So if you would add any text there it would stop working.
Question: Would there be a means to set it so it changes color, or warns you if the amount of total stuff on a ship is at or past a set weight? For example: If you have a Earth base, and you know your ship can only be so much in weight to still be able to fly in that gravity, to have some sort of listing or overweight warning? Such a thing would be a god send for miners or cargo ships.
There is a problem. If I want to see the amount of Uranium in my reactor it doesnt say the amount of uranium, it says the amount of uranium ore. So I cant see the amount of Uranium in my reactor.
when I use +ore it acts like it cant see the custom data... only shows default inventory.. if I type Inventory +ore +ingot it only shows the Ingot summary. ? Tried some others.. such as Inventory +component +gas +ammo it seems.. one of the options is always ignored.. I can rearrange them to get atleast two of them to show up...
I have an issue. Im trying to make the LCD show me if I have enough materials to craft a small ship. However, the programable block is on my base, a large grid... Is there a way to fix this ?
Hey I like to write my own scripts in Space Engineers and would also like to format the text panels like you do. Can you tell me how you do it, or give me useful links where I can work out the subject? It would please me.
This was the very first script I had installed, using your video it was a breeze and worked flawlessly!!!! Now, I also want to run TIM (Taledin's Inventory Manager) I am at a loss. Do I need Timer & Programmable Blocks for each script I want to run? I have been wading through walls of text and irrelevant UA-cam Videos for the past 2 days in an attempt to figure out HOW to run more than on script... I love this one, but also Love the functionality of TIM... 120 hours into a Survival (Lone Survivor) game atm... any help would be most appreciated!
id like to be able to have a damage report as id see something along the lines of a model of my ship on a lcd and colors would determine damage like red is almost dead yellow is a little harmed and green is untouched or unharmed and gray is its gone
Well, about a couple of months passed since I've watched this guide, and I've eventually overcome the fear of "OMG_its_scrary_complicated_thing" and started learning this guide... But a problem occured: the sound started to be late for a minute or two =.= Hard to understand like that. Is it Ok or there is a problem?
Hello, I hope someone can help me out. I am trying to use an LCD to show me used cargo but only for certain blocks. If i use Cargo it only sees cargo blocks, if i use CargoAll it sees everything. I only want it to see cargo blocks, drills and connectors. Cannot figure it out myself! Not even sure if it is possible.
I’ve only played for 1/6 of that time, but I empathize - I’ve always felt dumb looking at the programmable block, and I wanted to do everything by hand, so I avoided it like the plague. I’m excited to learn though! Good luck on your new adventure 😎🚀
Man, I love this script but I am feeling so dumb right now. Last time I played, I knew exactly how to make the displays work as I want, but somehow this time round I can't wrap my head around the guide. It's just not making sense, and I can't figure out how to set up a display showing inventory of just ores and ingots. Bet when I figure it out finally, I'm gonna feel even stupider
Hey, been trying to get your Script to work, but keeps getting stuck in boot sequence, any chance we could get an update on this guide? but overall I saw your work on other peoples stations and loved it
Hi. Everything in this guide is more or less correct. Timer block is no longer necessary, but it will still work even with it. Other than that instead of 'Remember and Exit' button there is now just 'Ok' button. It takes me very long time to make new video guide (this one took me around 30 hours) so making a new one is not an easy task. As I mentioned in the video the written guide is always updated (link in description). As to why the script would stop on boot screens - just first guess would be because you are on dedicated server with some special plugins that limit in-game scripts. Other than that I really don't know. You can try to just push recompile in the PB if that fixes it for you
@@MattsPlayCorner Hi, I understand. Thank you for your time replying to me. I found a person experienced with your scrip and he explained everything to me very well. Hope to see your work in future.
@@Reiiishin whenever you go into the control panel, select the lcd, give it a tag [LCD] then use the commands from the guide. Like "power" or inventory* ingot. You must put these commands into the "Custom Data" box not the "Text panel" you and it should work
I can see in the comments that people are having audio desync issues - I've heard that watching it directly on UA-cam helps, but not for everyone. If you've got some recommendation how to fix the audio desync for people - please let us know.
As far as I know I can't do anything about the audio desync. The video is 5 years old and worked fine until recently.
Even today I can watch it without seeing / hearing any desync in firefox browser.
I'm sorry about the inconvenience - if you can't watch the video I can just recommend to read the written guide that is much more up-to-date than the video: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=407158161
I have the same problem but is fine on my app on the phone
I was having issues on Chrome last night at my home PC, but here at work I use Edge and it has loaded correctly.
When I changed the video quality manually, it resync'd the audio.
This is the correct fix. Thanks for the tip man.
I didn't have it, but also I assume by now it's fixed
Thanks for the layman explanation....BTW your English is good enough for English speaking people to understand....Good Job Buddy! Please give a big thank you to all those involved for me. Thanks Guys!
You probably won't see this, 5 years later and all that, but thank you very much. This is a life saver.
Me:*Watches 10 minutes of the video*
So... basically i'm re-learning SQL for space engineers. LOL.
SELECT OreName, Weight, Quantity FROM dbo.Ores WHERE Container IN ('Cargo Container 1', 'Cargo Container 2')
I've been playing vanilla Space Engineers for a few months now. After getting the basics down I've gone onto the workshop to add to the game experience. This is a MUST HAVE script that I look forward to programming in my world. Thank you very much for making this item.
I am new to space engineers and this is such a good addition to the game. Thank you so much for your hard work.
This mod is soooo helpful. I thank you a thousand times over for putting in the time and effort so we can make our ships and stations 5000x cooler
Wow. 'Awesome' doesn't even come near to describe your work. HUGE kudos to you!
For everything there’s a man with a very calming voice to explain it
This has been one of the bests mods I've ever used and will always use. Thank you and anyone else involved, ya'll have my deepest respects.
No! Thank YOU! You just added 1000 hours of playtime to my favorite game. It's people like you that, by far, make this one of the best gaming communities out there. I mean you even went to the trouble to make video guide. You are awsome thanks a bunch! :)
You made this script that user friendly and polished that it simply makes me feel happy just watching it. I can see that you put a lot of hard work and dedication in it
Very well done sir, know that your work is very much appreciated :D
Thanks for this wonderful tutorial. Perfectly understandable, and om not even native English speaker.
Just some notes on the start (since Space Engineers was updated);
1. After clicking EDIT on the Programmable block the button is now called "Browse Scripts".
2. After selecting Automatic LCDs2 The "OK" button is now "Copy to Editor".
3. In the code editor you then only need to click "Check Code" and after that "OK"
Hope this removes some doubts from newer users.
Years later, its still awesome.
My tips however have become obsolete as many changes happened during.
Very useful tutorial ^^ I've been using your script as -THE- source of vital & additional infos in SE since you started with this awesome project. Thank you for all the incredible work, I certainly cannot play SE without this anymore - i'm eager to update to this magnificent version two. Merry Christmas man!
Still the most helpful tutorial 3 years later
I tried reading your guide but it was too much. This video has definitely helped me in understanding what I need to look for.
Your Script, your video explanation here and the Guide are first rate for those learning LCD use for information.
Thanks for the work.
I still use this today, Best Script ever, No joke. Fantastic work. Hope to see more.
thank you, the start was a little confusing for a french who understand 80% but it works, and a french version is ready
Thankyou thankyou thankyou. ive tried using another script for this and was homicidal after several failed attempts, this is simple. thankyou
可以说这是现在整个游戏应用最广泛的脚本了，功能强大，用途广泛，感谢你的无私奉献
thank you for all your hard work on this script. i have been using your 1st lcd script for my ships for some time now. and i love it. i cant wait to use this one now!
btw love your voice and your english has gotten better since last vid as well. awesome!
Thank you for taking the time to make this script and video. It has greatly helped me enjoy this game even more! Much love from corn-fed Indiana!
Basic guide. 30 mins. O BOY THIS IS SPACE ENGINEERS
I want to congratulate you for your titanic work!
it is really impressive!
Congratulations and thank you
This is perfect, just what I was looking for.
You did a great job, the script is awesome and this tutorial is one of the best I've ever followed.
Thanks a lot from me and all my space crew ♥ hugs from Italy
this script stuff should be part game not workshop + tutorial.
thanks a lot for doing this and writing the guide in a way even i understand^^

Love it!
Thanks for the guide :)
Edit: And for the script, of course xD
This is a revolution for me! thank you so freaking much dude!
thank you so much for your amazing work, I love your script and the vid was very helpful never done this kind of stuff before and you make it easy.

That is just something amazing! Thank you for your work
Thanks for this guide. Its still very actual.
Thank you for all your work - this really adds a lot to the game! Cheers mate!
Thank you for making this tutorial ... It is greatly appreciated!
maybe this video needs an update, but at step in video at 3:40, click on LCD's custom data button, mine is blank.
at 9:20 mins you can see both ingot and ore calculated. but on my lcd screen only ingots are calculated. even when i do +ore, it doesnt read the ore in my base
This is so good, i love it!
Thank you so much bud. made the game so much more enjoyable for this aussie.
this script is amazing! thank you for creating this and teaching us how to use it!
Just started playing the game. This is awesome!
When I open the terminal for the programmable block, there is no edit button.
This doesn't load on my dedicated server, please help. I have scripts on, im admined, ive tried everything from re downloading it to downloading it, im subscribed, i have the [LCD] on it, i've reloaded the server, ive tried it in offline mode, when i place the programmable block there is no option for me to "edit" it only says edit text and says that lcds2 isnt working., but it works on my single player game.
Same problem here
I'm using the newest version and the LCD doesn't display anything. but when I right click it the text is there. What could I do to fix this? (Yes it's owned by me and it's powered. It just says ONLINE no matter what I do)
kde9910 The same happen to me
You should restart The world And thats all😁😁😁
Nicolás Enrique Rueda Rincón thanks now it works
Nicolás Enrique Rueda Rincón thanks much, had the same issue. nice to see useful comments on yt.
Your welcome =D Have a great day men
Is there a long version? I like being bored to death and would like to know EVERYTHING it can do.
Please help i do step by step but still lcd display shows online black screen when i will change programable block and timer block to be owned by me it already says owned by me as default when i place both blocks even the lcd displays says owned by me
Nvm it worked fine when i tested the lcd with the commands i was confused at first when it didnt showed the text when you changed the blocks to owned by me
Hey, Great script man, thanks.
In the Details section i cannot get the hinge position to display ? Pistons work fine but hinges nothing, any advice ?
Is it me of the audio is not synched with what he do on screen? Hard to follow in that case.
This is a great Script. I have some bug though that bugs the script UI window so none of the buttons work. Only ALT-F4 allows me to quit the game. I am going through my mods one by one to see which one could be doing it. It is very time consuming.
How can I make it display with smaller font, so it all fits in display and not scroll up/down?
Great mod! Still trying to figure out how the 4=1 terminal code setup works, are there any dependancies? (222)
you can also use run with default argument instead of run inside of the timer block.
Yes, but only if you have empty argument written in prog block control panel. If you set up timer to run PB with default argument it will use the argument that is written there. So if you would add any text there it would stop working.
Huge thanks man, this... now THIS is a good script and mod
Thanks a lot. You are the true space programmer.
why do we need a programmable block when the steampage says none is needed?
Question: Would there be a means to set it so it changes color, or warns you if the amount of total stuff on a ship is at or past a set weight?
For example: If you have a Earth base, and you know your ship can only be so much in weight to still be able to fly in that gravity, to have some sort of listing or overweight warning? Such a thing would be a god send for miners or cargo ships.
So much has changed in initial setup do you mind to make a short update or maybe call your community to create a short one?
So many Possibilities! Thank you! Do you have a written manual?
There is a problem. If I want to see the amount of Uranium in my reactor it doesnt say the amount of uranium, it says the amount of uranium ore. So I cant see the amount of Uranium in my reactor.
when I use +ore it acts like it cant see the custom data... only shows default inventory.. if I type Inventory +ore +ingot it only shows the Ingot summary. ? Tried some others.. such as Inventory +component +gas +ammo it seems.. one of the options is always ignored.. I can rearrange them to get atleast two of them to show up...
Hi man, I subscribed to your mod on mod io but it doesnt show on the mod list, eo you know what could be wrong?
I'm so confused, the video is not lined up with the sound?
Is it just me or is the audio definitely not in sync with what's happening on the screen after a few minutes?
Is there a obvious way that i dont see to recieve data from vessels not connected to a grid? drones etc?
Thanks so much for this script! It adds so much to the game!
Can this mod be used on XBOX from mod.io?
I have an issue. Im trying to make the LCD show me if I have enough materials to craft a small ship. However, the programable block is on my base, a large grid... Is there a way to fix this ?
I don't understand how this clip can have so many views and yet so few likes.
Hey
I like to write my own scripts in Space Engineers and would also like to format the text panels like you do.
Can you tell me how you do it, or give me useful links where I can work out the subject?

I do EVERYTHING in the video and i cant get anything to show on the display
check everything, if there is no problems, maybe reload world???
Also, have you made sure that the LCD panel has [LCD] in the name?
Trying to get Rdav's fleet command script to display the command screen on my cockpit's LCDs via this mod, anyone know how to do it?
how do i show 1 line only uranium ingots in all inventories and reactors on just the grid the screen is attached to?
\
How do have it display how much ore,ingots, and components without having any quotas or bars
Well, about a couple of months passed since I've watched this guide, and I've eventually overcome the fear of "OMG_its_scrary_complicated_thing" and started learning this guide... But a problem occured: the sound started to be late for a minute or two =.= Hard to understand like that. Is it Ok or there is a problem?

when they first get text it just says "Write commands to Custom Data of this panel."

Thank you so much for making this script! This is amazing!
when i use it, ive done everything youve said to set it up 3 to 4 times, and it doenst work! Pls help!
people are suggesting reloading the world, maybe try that. I haven't encountered problems so far.
After 1800 hours in space engineers...I've decided to try out a script. Let's see how badly I screw this up.

what if there is no edit button?
did you figure this out?
Does this script still work? The SE interface is different now and I can't seem to get this script to function.
