Rich HUD Master

Description
This is not a mod. This is the master module of the Rich HUD Framework: a set of shared tools made to help modders create custom GUI. It's not strictly necessary for you to subscribe to this. If you have a mod that uses this, then it should be loaded automatically.

Introduction:
This is a framework for creating custom retained-mode GUI in Space Engineers workshop mods using the billboards supplied by the mod API. It's nothing fancy, but it has most of the basic functionality you'd expect from a UI framework: UI layering, configurable keybinds, windowing, and a decent library of common UI elements. For more information, see the readme[github.com] for the Client module and the example mod[github.com].

Discord:
If you have questions, feel free to message me on Discord at DarkHelmet#8946. I'm on Keen's Discord[discord.com], but I'm not usually in chat. Either ping me or PM me.

@IotaSphere, I've sent you a DM on Discord.

I've tried using the CamSpaceNode to rotate a TexturedBox but by default the node is centered in the middle of the screen. I can't seem to figure out the steps to move the node back to where the widget should've been.
I've tried modifying the TransformOffset but I'm not sure the exact steps to convert pixel space coordinates to the coordinates used for the CamSpaceNode.

@IotaSphere, yes, RHF can be used to make a mod that renders arbitrary textured quads with tinting and rotation, using Space Engineers' billboards.

Quick technical bits:

- Normal rotation is done via matrix transform on groups of UI elements via HUD Space Node.
- Per-quad/sprite rotation requires you to recalculate the four vertex positions for each quad (2D or 3D).
- Texturing uses the built-in billboard system with Transparent Materials [spaceengineers.wiki.gg].

To get a clearer idea of what my framework actually does, you may want to check out the overview here [github.com]. If you're having trouble figuring out where to start, then the modding-programming channel on the KSWH Discord (linked in the description), may be better.

Does this mod support rendering images or sprites along with rotating/coloring sprites?

Any chance to add an option to change UI size to fix issues on economy screen store contracts screen and faction creation on 32:9 (5120x1440) ? :/

Update, said bug has been encountered when disconnecting any grid w. merge blocks.

@Dark Helmet

Currently, this mod will cause a bug when a "pseudo" connected merge block is connected.
The error occurs, when a projected small grid contains a merge block which is turned off, facing a another merge block upon which it is printed. When the merge block from the small grid blueprint is toggled on, an error "Missing blueprint" or similar will be spammed to the client.

The error can be avoided by saving blueprints with merge blocks on, but thought it might be nice if it was fixable. I believe the new update changed some file destinations?

Thanks for the mod btw, cool stuff
