Hi, Thanks for the quick reply! The "LuaGuiElement::elem_tooltip" field is define as an "ElemID", which is defined as having three elements: "type", "name" and optional "quality". There is no 'signal_type' on that definition. I *know* that adding tha...

I have a prototype definition for an entity that contains a collision mask. The collision mask has an empty "layers" definition: Screenshot 2024-11-29 at 17.00.07.png Note that the prototype does define layers as empty (it can not be omitted; more about that in a second). Now when I create...

[answering my own question]

use "player.zoom". Using
in 0.1 steps from 0 up works really well to match the zoom levels in the GUI.

I have a mod that connects to electric networks (usually by connecting a copper wire to a pole). On a space platform, there is the global electric network so I want the entity to connect to that automatically if it is built on a space platform. I can determine whether there *is* a global electric ne...

Consider this code: local button = { type = "sprite-button", sprite = 'virtual-signal'/" .. signal_name, number = signal.count, tooltip = prototypes.virtual_signal[signal_name].localised_name, button.elem_tooltip = { type = 'signal', name = signal_name, }, } crashes with }} Screenshot...

Basically, what the label says. With most other entities, including oblong ones that technically can not be rotated, assigning the LuaEntity::direction attribute will rotate them around (it does so for all oblong combinators). Not so for the recycler. Assigning the direction attribute does nothing, ...

[ replying to my own post first] At this point, I can get the hovers over the icons to work (by using the elem_tooltip attribute): button.elem_tooltip = { type = 'item-with-quality', name = signal_name, quality = signal.signal.quality, } However, the icons still do not show the quality information: ...

For a sprite button, I can have it overlay a number (for count), by adding a "number = 100" to the LuaGuiElement. However, with Space Age, there are icons like this (this is the signal display from a combinator): Screenshot 2024-11-23 at 16.59.28.png How do I get the quality overlay for a ...

Hi,

Thanks for the quick answer! What I am looking at is a textfield and I can't seem to receive the event when return is pressed. That is my confusion. There is no text-box anywhere.

I have seen https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=73372 , which states "on_gui_confirmed can't work with text boxes because enter is already reserved for adding newlines to the text box." However, there is https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/events.html#on_gui_confirmed , which liter...

Let me chime in as well.

THANK YOU, @posila for all your hard work!

2.0.21 is a very noticeable improvement, at this point the game feels as fluent as 1.1.

While this ended up in "minor issues", it is a pain in the neck to remember to add quality = 'normal' to any signal assigned to a constant combinator in a mod. Lots of older mods break because they never bothered with quality before. Any change to make LuaLogisticSection::set_slot use &quo...

I've added build_check_type to LuaControl::teleport for the next release. It will allow you to simply call teleport(...) and it will fail the teleport if the build check type fails at the destination. It automatically ignores itself for collision checks so moving half a tile to a direction won't fa...

Hmm, I see, interesting. Thank you for the data. Do you guys expericence any negative effects when Vsync is off - specifically, do you see screen tearing? @hgschmie: what macOS version do you have? Hi, Sonoma (14.7). I don't see screen tearing but sometimes scrolling seems jerky but FPS/UPS stays s...

All my problems on a MacBook Pro with M2Max go away when I turn off "Wait for Vsync". Render in native resolution, everything turned to max. FPS/UPS at 60/60, no problem. I turn "wait for vsync" back on, drops immediately to 30-40 FPS.

I think the exact details of the API will be left to the game developers. Adding an "entity=" attribute that would override/preset name, direction, position etc. would work as well. The docs for teleport state that "Only players, cars, and spidertrons can be teleported cross-surface.&...

One of the really popular mods is Picker Dollies (and its spirtual successor Even Pickier Dollies for 2.0) which allows a player to move entities around instead of destroying and recreating. The mod works by teleporting an entity into a "safe space", then checking a target location whether...
