[1.1.50] create_spidertron() doesn't correctly scale lights

[Xorimuth]

Maybe this won't be considered a bug, as it is only encountered with mods and can be worked around with custom implementations, but it is vanilla code that is incorrect/incomplete.

Base mod provides a create_spidertron() function with optional arguments for scaling the spidertron. I've noticed that this doesn't fully scale the spidertrons lights so I've created some modifications to complete the scaling of these.

Here's what it looks like before and after applying my suggested fixes. Note that for these pictures I've removed the spidertron's ambient light (which is already scaled correctly) so that the incorrect eye_lights (as defined by light_positions) are emphasised.

Before

spidertron_torso_graphics_set()

Code: Select all

  light =
  {
    {
      minimum_darkness = 0.3,
      intensity = 0.4,
      size = 25 * spidertron_scale,
      color = {r=1.0, g=1.0, b=1.0}
    },
    create_spidertron_light_cone(0,     1,    1   , -1),
    create_spidertron_light_cone(-0.05, 0.7,  0.7  , 2.5),
    create_spidertron_light_cone(0.04,  0.5,  0.45 , 5.5),
    create_spidertron_light_cone(0.06,  0.6,  0.35 , 6.5)
  },
  light_positions = require("__base__/prototypes/entity/spidertron-light-positions"),
  eye_light = {intensity = 1, size = 1, color = {r=1.0, g=1.0, b=1.0}},-- {r=1.0, g=0.0, b=0.0}},

create_spidertron_light_cone()

Code: Select all

local function create_spidertron_light_cone(orientation, intensity, size, shift_adder)
  local shift = { x = 0, y = -14 + shift_adder}
  return
  {
    type = "oriented",
    minimum_darkness = 0.3,
    picture =
    {
      filename = "__core__/graphics/light-cone.png",
      priority = "extra-high",
      flags = { "light" },
      scale = 2,
      width = 200,
      height = 200
    },
    source_orientation_offset = orientation,
    --add_perspective = true,
    shift = shift,
    size = 2 * size,
    intensity = 0.6 * intensity, --0.6
    color = {r = 0.92, g = 0.77, b = 0.3}
  }
end

After

spidertron_torso_graphics_set()

Code: Select all

  light =
  {
    {
      minimum_darkness = 0.3,
      intensity = 0.4,
      size = 25 * spidertron_scale,
      color = {r=1.0, g=1.0, b=1.0}
    },
    create_spidertron_light_cone(0,     1,    1   , -1, spidertron_scale),
    create_spidertron_light_cone(-0.05, 0.7,  0.7  , 2.5, spidertron_scale),
    create_spidertron_light_cone(0.04,  0.5,  0.45 , 5.5, spidertron_scale),
    create_spidertron_light_cone(0.06,  0.6,  0.35 , 6.5, spidertron_scale)
  },
  light_positions = scale_light_positions(require("__base__/prototypes/entity/spidertron-light-positions"), spidertron_scale),
  eye_light = {intensity = 1, size = 1 * spidertron_scale, color = {r=1.0, g=1.0, b=1.0}},-- {r=1.0, g=0.0, b=0.0}},

Using my custom function, which I'm sure could be improved:

Code: Select all

local function scale_light_positions(positions, scale)
  local new_positions = {}
  for index, position_list in pairs(positions) do
    new_positions[index] = {}
    for index2, position in pairs(position_list) do
      local new_position = {position[1] * scale, position[2] * scale}
      new_positions[index][index2] = new_position
    end
  end
  return new_positions
end

create_spidertron_light_cone()

Code: Select all

local function create_spidertron_light_cone(orientation, intensity, size, shift_adder, scale)
  local shift = { x = 0, y = (-14 + shift_adder) * scale}
  return
  {
    type = "oriented",
    minimum_darkness = 0.3,
    picture =
    {
      filename = "__core__/graphics/light-cone.png",
      priority = "extra-high",
      flags = { "light" },
      scale = 2,
      width = 200,
      height = 200
    },
    source_orientation_offset = orientation,
    --add_perspective = true,
    shift = shift,
    size = 2 * size * scale,
    intensity = 0.6 * intensity, --0.6
    color = {r = 0.92, g = 0.77, b = 0.3}
  }
end

Thank you for your consideration!

Thanks for the report. It's now fixed thanks to tburrows13.
