pizzaoverhead Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) If you like this concept, check out IndicatorLights by @Snark which does all this and more! A little plugin that makes the light on the Z-100 battery pack change colour to let you know that it's running low. Download from Curse MediaFire Mirror Get IndicatorLights instead Source included, licenced under GPL v2. Includes ModuleManager, licence here. If you've enjoyed this, consider donating a cup of coffee to help with late night coding: Planned features Colour blindness-compatible colours. Customisable colours. An extra colour (defaulting to blue) for when the battery is locked. Change log v1.0 (2015-02-09) Initial Release Edited March 12, 2018 by pizzaoverhead Superseded by IndicatorLights.

Astrofox Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Wow, that is a neat mod. Also, RO compatibility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefferyharrell Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 You're a genius. Just the other day I staged an elaborate rescue mission to recharge the batteries on a poorly designed upper stage and I resented the lying little green lights the whole time.

zekes Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 This is perfect. So helpful since you don't look at anything other than the ship often times when warping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzaoverhead Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 This is perfect. So helpful since you don't look at anything other than the ship often times when warping.I time warped to night to take the second half of the picture and found myself looking at a single yellow light.

RyanRising Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 This would be so awesome... had I not had Ven's Revamp installed. Oh well. Good work, though, like most of your other mods, this should be stock. 1.0 needs to have more of you in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pecan Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 A wonderfully simple idea that probably wasn't as simple to code as it sounds and adds a very neat touch.Change request: disabled mode indicator for my 'emergency reserve' battery. Blue, since the other primaries are in use, or dimmed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZero Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'm pretty new to KSP and as soon as I saw the light on the battery, Z-100, I assumed it was an indicator. Thanks to this mod, it is! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudgetHedgehog Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 This would be so awesome... had I not had Ven's Revamp installed. Yeah, would kill for a SPR compatible version or patch or something. Subscribed for the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladthemad Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Any chance you can do the same for the Z-4K? Sadly the other three stock batts don't have lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whirligig Girl Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 If this were to be made compatible with Ven's Stock Revamp's batteries, I'd be really really happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cultist_O Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Change request: disabled mode indicator for my 'emergency reserve' battery. Blue, since the other primaries are in use, or dimmed? Ooh! seconded, I would love to have a colour for disabled batteries! (I would probably prefer cyan to blue though, (also primary) but I would defer that decision to the colour blind.)

lancejammer Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Amazing idea; thank you for making this! Quick question... does the color indicate the charge of the individual battery, or of the ship's total battery charge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue, since the other primaries are in use, or dimmed?That's coming in the next version!Amazing idea; thank you for making this! Quick question... does the color indicate the charge of the individual battery, or of the ship's total battery charge?It's the charge of the battery pack itself. It wouldn't make sense for a little battery pack to have sensors hooked into the whole ship, and having lots of indicators displaying the same thing is less useful than having more information.Colorblind mode please?Working on it! I haven't found a good looking set of colours to fit everyone yet, but I plan to for the next release. It'll also be customisable, so you can pick whatever looks best for you.

tajampi Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) After 1 min of investigation, i found this could be easily tweaked to work with Ven's stock revamp.The material name seems to be: unnamed.emissiveMaterial Just change in the .cs file: t.renderer.material.name.Contains("light")) to t.renderer.material.name.Contains("emissive"))It's untested, don't have time right now, but that should work right! EDIT: The light gameobject will keep emiting light (illuminating parts) , but the color of the led should change. It could also be tweaked to work with the physical light, will take a look into it once i have more time!EDIT2: This should work with all the batteries, but some of them may have different material names.Cheers!
