[OUT OF DATE] Dual Universe Fuel Screen script designed to automatically detect and adapt to a given tank configuration

This script is no longer being updated, and may not work as intended. Use at your own risk

Features

Supports any configuration of atmospheric, rocket, and space tanks up to 9 total tanks

Automatic detection, simply connect any amount of screens, and the tanks, and it will automatically adjust to the configuration

Easy configuration of all colors and text

Installation

Installation Tutorial / Feature Showcase

Click on FuelManagement1.5 above, on the top right click the Raw Button, and copy all text(Ctrl+C)

Right click on a programming board, Advanced, Paste Lua Configuration from clipboard

From there use the link tool(build mode tool 6 by default), to connect a minimum of one screen and one tank, before activating the programming board.

It is highly recommended to use a detection zone with this script. Simply create a link from the detection zone, to the programming board(blue link). This will allow the script to turn back on whenever a player walks within range. If you are not using a detection zone, enable playerToggle in the configuration

Planned Features

• Support for any combination of 8 tanks, for non-hybrid ships | Added in 1.3
• Rocket Tank Support | Added in 1.4
• Support to display the percentage filled as a text value on top of the bar | Added in 1.5

More features will come eventually, however finding time to play dual and work on this script has become much more scarce. For feature requests please make an issue, and add the enhancement label. Whenever I get around to finding time to code, I'll go with the most popular request, or just come up with something if there is no requests at a given time.

Customization

The script can be customized within the Advanced -> Edit Lua Paramaters menu, though due to the length of the strings, this can both look and feel clunky. | Temporarily disabled

For an easier to read configuration, Go to Advanced -> Edit Lua Script, click unit under slots, and start() under filters. This will display a section of the code where the variables can more easily be read.

To adjust the order of the tanks within their groups, you will need to rename the tanks. The tanks are sorted in alphabeticical order. To rename the tanks, use build mode, and right click -> rename element on the tank.

Troubleshooting

• Restart your game
• Verify that the names of the tanks does not contain symbols, as this can conflict with the lua code
• Verify that you are not attempting to link more than 9 tanks to the programming board

du-fuelscreen's Issues

[Feature Request]

I don't know if it is possible but are you able to pull the amount of Warp Cells you have in the container connected to warp drive? I know the widget gets that number somehow, would be cool to have that on the screen as well.

Move the order of the Tanks

I was trying to change the order of the tanks on the screen because they don't match the order in my ship. Is there a way or a trick to do it? I already tried to connect them in a different order.

Use Fuel Tank Name

Would it be possible to have the script read the name of the fuel tank? I have renamed mine, for easier identification and it would be awesome to see that on the screen. Excellent work by the way, really nice!
