Multi-Monitor Suggestions

[J17]

Hi,

First post since playing starmade for the first time (about 5 hours ago). I was playing and I relized a great idea would be to add multi-Monitor support. I have three monitors (Yes, three :P ) and I was playing with the Cockpit block (I think its called that) and it would be great if you could have like three cockpit blocks wired to individual monitors,

EX: Forward Camera is one monitor, obviously the center one.

Then you would have the sides or maybe rearfacing camera on the other monitors.



And to make it fair for the other users who only have one monitor, it could be like the screen is divided (Like many splitscreen games) and show all the Camera points.



Also the mouse would be bound to only one monitor so you can only fly and target weapons with the foward facing camera. Then when you get out of the ship and walk around the monitors that are not displaying anything, (Since when walking around you can only face foward) would display something like your inventory, chat, log, etc. Or maybe they could just say "CAMERA #x DISCONNECTED" or whatever you want to put.

Thanks in advance, and I know this is a pretty hard thing to implement.

As a dual-monitor user, this would be quite convenient should I get into intense space combat - rear-view camera! Of course, it can be considered an unfair advantage and I just don\'t see how splitting up a single screen could be aesthetically pleasing to a player, or even playable for that matter. Good idea, although it may be challenging to implement it without breaking the game\'s balance...

Well , it would be togleable of course if you dont like it. And maybe servers could have a setting to disable it if its really that OP.
