Thanks for the quick replies, always interesting to find files that were forget about and to find out what they might have been for.

The last edit to it was 0.16, were there still plans to use this?
Would it have been similar to how compilatron built for you in the 0.17 introduction?

There is builder.lua in the core lublib directory, if anyone could give me some insight on the following, very broad, questions it would be appreciated. What is it used for? Why is it using Lua 5.0/5.1 syntax for a module? Because its using the module function the file cant be required, so why is do...

After one of the previous updates we were unable to generate new maps from a scenario. We checked logs and saw that the prosess would termiate just after factorio was initialised. We recognised this as being a config error and so attempted to use the example files and found that the issue persisted....

Added LuaPlayer::request_translation(). What is the purpose of this? I don't suppose one can save the string to a translated locale file so it can be shared with other players, so... huh? It can be used to search if a string is included in a translation for a player; for example if you have a set o...

Isn't there a permission group to disable this?

Based on the documentation there is one for every gui but not for the map.

TL;DR auto_center (which is ment to be "auto-center-on-resize") is named incorrectly and is misleading. LugGuiElement::force_auto_center() does not force an auto re-center. Re-Production All executed ingame with /c game.player.gui.screen.add{name='test',type='frame'} -- new frame in the top left ga...

Wow so many new gui related stuff; going to have some fun playing with these. Edit: I can not seam to get auto center to work; commands which I am running: game.player.gui.screen.add{name='test',type='frame'} game.player.gui.screen.test.auto_center -- returns false game.player.gui.screen.test.auto_c...

The enlarged server description is nice; but name limits are still an issue when we use icons and colors. Also possible hint at tags being used for something? Talking with some server owners we found it hard to think of reasons not to use tags beyound: array vs string proformace; tag searching; or a...

I was making a scenario where it would be easier to have all players on the same force but hide the map so that they dont know where other players are. It would have been easier as I had no reason to have every player on a different force in order to hide location and explored chunks.

Currently we are able to disable the mini map however there is no clear way to stop the main map from opening. Could we have open_map added to input actions so that we can disallow the action for a permission group? Since we have access to LuaPlayer::open_map and LuaPlayer::close_map would it be pos...

Doesnt the line "changing state from(InGameSavingMap) to(InGame)" mean that it has finished saving, also the map never seams to finish saving if that is not the case since I have at times waited upwards of 10 minutes on that screen and the map is only a few megabytes big, plus many other players arn...

I have as erver which has non blokcing save enabled but from time to time when I try to connect it will get stuck on "waiting for the server to save the map" when I look at the log for the server it seams like it might be saving the map before my client is ready to recive it, see log extracts below ...

When changing auto launch using a script or commands using LuaEntity.auto_launch it will not cause the checkbox inside the rocket silo gui to update. The checkbox will update only when the gui is reopened. However the checkbox will still set the correct state when used; ie. when the checkbox shows t...

I have found that it doesnt even need to be a loss of focus, I have a duel monitor setup and even when the game is focused if my mouse is on the other screen then it will act at 1,1. I saw that it was at 1,1 by enabling crtl+f6 and seeing that the mod_gui_button_flow was being selected by the debug ...

The rocket_parts can be used to find the progress towards a rocket however when it has been complete it resets to 0 so there isnt really a way to test if there is a rocket in it or not. So could we have read access to the rocket silo status?

Could we have read-write access to the auto-launch feature on rocket silos as I wanted to make a gui that allows admins to toggle the auto-launch without needing to walk over to the entity.

I am unsure if this is a bug, it may be how lua works however you also altered the require function which is why I am unsure. While requiring files using relative paths I came accross a bug in my code however I found the cause to be because of lua's package cache; you may already know but require st...

Our server has crashed twise now with this save; from the stacktrace it seams to be related to a fulid box of an assembling machine. Full log is attached and save file can be found at: Server Save File #0 0x0000000000c861ad in std::__uniq_ptr_impl<LoggerFileWriteStream, std::default_delete<LoggerFil...

Add this code to the control.lua and it will cause the error with no stack trace, you can change the error({}) to error('foo') and see that a stack trace is produced and that is only when log is given an empty table that no stack trace is produced. local function log_errors(callback) local success, ...
