Sawyer News - Animated Lua TV (updated)

MC version: 1.1 (Nov, 26, 2021)



All frames have been re-converted for performance. There is no longer any lag or spawn issues coming from Sawyer New's Microcontroller. It can also draw to many more screens without affecting TPS.

With over 5 minutes of content, 250+ frames and an infinite number of bad jokes, here's Sawyer News. A 2x2, looping animated TV. To distract you during your travels and to keep you up to date on the world of Stormworks. Filled with silly headlines, "advertisement," the weather (kinda,) and small references to the SW experience. Animations are 1-3 frames per second.



Drop some ideas, suggestions, insults or reports down in the comments.


Performance Update:
-Multiple Screens work fine now
-No spawn lag anymore

Old Version:
- Multiple simultaneous screens may cause lag.
- The microcontroller will add 1+mb to your creation's file. Adding seconds to loading times. Be mindful of this in dedicated servers.
- I haven't reported any lag when using only 1 screen, but please let me know
-It's for 2x2 screens. If you want something bigger, I made some XML screens, see below
