    Second Picture in Picture (PIP) is back with full support for selection, hovers, keyboard bindings, tracking, cameras, etc.

    Historical Information (updated for accuracy)

    This mod adds a second picture in picture holodeck based on the work Uber has already done but not enabled.

    A second PIP is added above the existing PIP. bottom left (offset above the selection bar as defined in the Uber CSS).

    Currently the second PIP seems to work with:

    • selection
    • hovers
    • keyboard bindings
    • tracking
    • cameras
    • all actions except patrol
    When I have some more time I'll look at the following:
    • panel for second PIP controls
    • draggable (for both PIPs)
    • resizable (for both PIPs)
    • even more PIPs
    I'm also looking at an option to reduce the size of the primary holodeck for large resolutions to improve FPS with PIPs around the outside. eg on my laptop at 2560 x 1440 full screen a smaller primary holodeck dramatically improves FPS.

    Original image...

    This is really awesome work especially until multi-monitor support is implemented, it greatly increases the focus you can have on multi-planet systems although due to my current pc large systems are already enough of a strain

    If you push this far enough you'll end up with a working replacement for nScreens :)
    Though the hard part for nScreens was too get all UI show up only on the main screen.

    On displays wider than 2560px the second PIP will display on the left.

    • No keyboard bindings dedicated to PiP2
    • No alerts tracking
    • Use of swap views keyboard binding while mirrored mode is engaged in a PiP leads to mirror mode breaking

    I tested using the button on PiP 1 to switch directly between the two, rather than cycling through them using the keyboard. Worked fine with that method.
