Build Hints [Updated, TextHUD API v2 Menu]

Description
Summary
Can't remember which way that thruster was supposed to point?
Fear no more, Phoenix Manufacturing has a solution for you: Build Hints!

This handy tool shows you the axis of the block you are placing with convenient colored arrows!

How to use
Just hold a block in your toolbar to activate it!
Blue is Z axis, Green is Y, and Red is X.

When used in conjunction with the ingame rotation helper, you can visually see which keys will rotate around which axis.

/buildhints help for more ingame help.
Configuation options are also available in the TextHUD API Mod menu interface. Open chat (ENTER key by default), then press F2 to open the menu.

NOTE
This requires Draygo's HUD Text API mod. The link is in the side bar.

This is a work-in-progress mod!

Known Issues
  • Axis arrows may be offset incorrectly when block is placed on a grid
Planned
  • ?

@Gwindalmir Grrrrreat! Thanks :)

@Artemin Fixed. It'll only show that message when you explicitly save the settings now, not during regular game saves.

Salut! Quelqu'un connait un mod ou un script pour afficher le build planner sur le HUD?

Merci pour vos réponses ;)

Looks like TextHUD API v1 stopped working for SpaceMessages. I've updated the mod to V2, complete with the mod menu interface.

seems like this no longer works :(
Gwindalmir  [author] 21 Dec, 2017 @ 6:53pm 
It should, yes. I haven't had a need to update it.
