Feature Request: Read-Only Display Panels

[MyNameIsKodos]

Display Panels

My suggestion for Display Panels is this; a 4-10 line (For readability) display, able to be set by a computer.
Right now the only real way of doing this is via RFTools' Screens with a Computer Module installed for each line, which is rather clunky considering you have to have an entire mod installed for one thing.

This could either be done via a whole block with a fancy texture on the front as seen here or some sort of model (I would rather see it in a block personally) a la Bibliocraft's Fancy Signs.

Methods would be something like this, as an example:

    component.os_displaypanel.setText(int,string) -- Line, text
    component.os_displaypanel.addText(string) -- Text, adds it to first available line
    component.os_displaypanel.clear(int) -- Clears the panel completely, or if a number is passed, it clears that line.
    component.os_displaypanel.setColor(int) -- Sets the text color, either using hex or for simplicity's sake, using the colors API
    component.os_displaypanel.setBGColor(int) -- Sets the text background color. This would ONLY affect the background where the text is displayed. This could allow for a sort of 'flashing' effect for the text.

This is all just example, how much of this is put in is up to you.

Something something you told me to do this.

The TE, and block, and renderer are in the mod, registration is disabled in ContentRegistery.java for now since it's broken, Thanks!

The Idea I had was to make them sorta like NuclearControl's/OpenComputers screens in that if you placed them together it scaled them up, if you can get that awesome, if not don't worry about it.

Has there been any progress on this? Just wanting to check in =)

Well, OS is still targeting 1.7.10 ATM.. hopefully it's something I could port forward easily enough (assuming it doesn't use the tesselator directly :/)

Ah, I assumed that it was updated to 1.10 since OC also targets it. If I
can get another 1.7.10 instance downloaded after I finish a personal
project I should have time to work on it. I'll just have to fill my phone
up with reminders...
