Thanks for the fix and sorry I wasnt able to explain it well the first time.

What to do Assign a LuaGuiElement to player.opened. Assign a different LuaGuiElement to player.opened. During on_gui_closed make a call to LuaPlayer.set_controller. (I am not sure if the type of controller has an affect) What happens on_gui_closed is raised with the first gui element. (as expected)...

We are already able to set an icon for a chart tag with LuaCustomChartTag.icon; would it be possible to allow setting a nil value which will cause the tag to show the "tag marker" which a tag has by default? So far I have needed to remake a chart tag in order to remove the icon.

The latest api docs for on_chart_tag_modified has the optional argument of "old_player_index :: uint"; however, in game it is named "old_player".

Edit: Another inconsistency in same area, "old_icon :: SignalID" can be nil, but is not marked as optional.

I understand that changing controller will set opened to nil; however, opened is already nil during on_gui_closed and when set_controller is called. (This is seen in my event output with "During Close spectate_label: nil" and "Before Controller Change: nil") Therefore, the contro...

While working on a spectator feature for a scenario, I discovered an edge case where "player.opened" is nil during and after the "on_gui_opened" event. This edge case occurs when setting a new value for "player.opened" and the "on_gui_closed" event changes the...

I can confirm, that is still an issue in Version 1.0.0.0

The issue should be fixed for version 1.1 as reported in this thread, however I have not tested it on our servers yet.
From further digging I found the issue was related to our ban list rather than non blocking save.

Building belts in a line without spraying them all over the place is really nice. Could you maybe add this also while pressing a button so it can be used for anything? E.g. if I create a new station I have to drag a line of chests but usually spray them all over the place. Being able to go in a str...

We have done some testing with our server, as well as getting some feedback from other server hosters, and we believe that the banlist might be the cause of the error. First we filtered our banlist to only include valid usernames (containing alphanumeric characters and ._-) and limited it to bans wh...

Congratulations guys, you have done it!
I cant see what you guys will work on next.
Here's to the future!

This wall of text is about my personal struggle with Factorio and life, feel free to skip to the next subject if you wish to see the actual Factorio content. I could never skip a story like this, glad to see that you were able to bond with your son and recover from your low point. And the new chang...

Following your first message I decided to look into how xpcall works. And you were correct, the error handler caused an error which was then feed back into its self. I was not aware that xpcall would capture errors from the error handler and feed it back into the error handler, resulting in a stack ...

While making a custom command to run code in a custom environment I found some strange cases that will result in the game crashing from a stack overflow centered around the following loop: (full log is attached) f:\dd\vctools\crt\vcruntime\src\eh\frame.cpp (1528): __FrameHandler3::CxxCallCatchBlock ...

The rocket on the bottom needs a higher z-index, it's lower part is not hovering/clickable (unless that's intentional) -- (very cool though 8-) ) I also noticed the issue of the lower part not being hovering/clickable. I was disapointed that I can only use it once per page load. As soon as I used i...

Where information about it ? Who it was ? Who removed oil ? how are you going to determine who is troll? So kick t...

Whooohoo, I'm on a hype train ... would the lua-api docs get better styles too ?

What about also unifying it all somehow with the forum and wiki as well?

Or some method to link our forum & wiki accounts to our factorio account.

+1 for both of these

We were originally considering some kind of tiling of beacons I really like the basic idea of it, but: - it doesn't Really make gameplay sense, the beacons don't interact with each other at all, they just add towards the close by machines, which is representative with separate units - it's quite a ...

I want to start by saying I like the new design but a few posts have suggested improvements that add the finishing touches. I really like the reversed version. It's simple, clean and the spike goes from a bit too thin for air transmission to naturally communicating that the device is sending a signa...

its hard to setup Text in correct place... i was trying 10 times before it was in center and over market :D What might be useful is if you use "alignment" with draw_text. The default is to align the left corner, if you set the value to "center" then you dont need to worry about ...

I cant offer much help, but here is an older thread with a similar issue. TL;DR There is no way to get the current map or cursor position since both are non deterministic. The only work around is to make a custom capsule. I would suggest looking at the MIRV mod by Klonan for how he does a custom rem...
