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.
