I'm not sure what code your'e running but you only need to edit the blueprint in the players hand directly and it will retain any custom rotation value it had. Don't clear() it and then insert() a new one - just edit the blueprint entities directly.

I realize that.

Except, I want to use the ...

So, I'm currently working on a blueprint editor.

And I've hit a bit of a brick wall with this one. To the point where I've searched through the forums, checked the documentation, checked the hidden docs, and all I could, but didn't find ...

So, there's good news, and there's bad news...

I can stop rotating back, and keep it in the toolbar.

But the numpad keys (appear to) change which corner they bind to.

I also can't track which way the blueprint in the hand is rotated

I can apparently track when something in the hand changes, and ...

hi, i did test the new version.

1. it works now in my current game :)
WOOOO :D


2. but only with bp. as soon as i use bpb i cant change the anchor point.
when i take the bp out of the book i can change the anchor again.
I haven't had a chance to even look at blueprint books yet, sorry :(. It ...

I have tried this mod and find it good, but I can not get it running on my current map.
I tried it on a new map with 0 other mods and it works fine.

Then i gradually activated all mods again and your mod is still working there.

I'll try to figure out why it does not work in my current map.

No newsletter for now, but I am doing about an update a day, so if you keep an eye on the mod page/github, you'll see the progress

No problem :). Thanks for reminding me that this is one of the things I wanted in the game too ^_^. As well as starting the discussion, and letting people give good ideas of how it can be quickly solved :).

Don't worry, I plan to make even bigger (repeating) blueprints easier to make

Open Map, u can place BP from MAP view.

I never have a problem to ghost a BP with this solution.

There's a limit to how much you can see when you zoom out in map view.

If your blueprint is bigger than that zoom level, it's difficult to accurately place it.

With this, you can align it with a ...

version 0.1.5 posted

You should now be able to use NUMPAD keys as well to do the same thing (move anchor point).

Try it out, and see which way you prefer guys.

I won't be adding mouse just yet, because I'm not handling GUI yet.

Well, that was fast/east

0.1.4 Added ability to "select" entity.

It's clunky, but it works.

You can now "select" any single entity on a blueprint (TAB), then hit CAPSLOCK to make it the anchor (blueprint placeable around it)

Next up: trying to tackle the corners issue

It was easier than I thought.

Added a way to demonstrate the functionality in BPEdit 0.1.3

Currently, you must add a new element, to be able to "anchor", or "centre" to it.

In this particular vein, I want to add functionality to

Sounds good to me too. Though I hadn't thought about how to implement it.

A possibly easier-to-implement solution would be to simply allow selecting one of the entities in a BP as the "anchor entity", marked e.g. in red, by middle mouseclick in edit mode.

I'm doing something similar.

I may implement a "run around inside blueprint" way, way down the line. But for now, I'm just adding more commands to the existing blueprint editing screen.

Hey guys,

TLDR: I'm making blueprints editable in "real time", in the game. But there's a lot of work there, so bear with me.

Tried the command, but it didn't work off the bat. I've seen serpent, but couldn't make heads or tails of it (maybe it's an ouroboros). Any case, I've read other stuff to the effect of "don't rely on player being static" or something. So I'm working with that. I also have a... let's say ...

Also in 15.37 and 15.XX.

This is exactly the kind of functionality I'd like to have too

Although, I think it would be smoother if:
Since now you can pick up "ghosts" of existing things by mousing over, and pressing "Q"
It would make sense if you could mouse over something in the crafting menu as well.

That being said, the ...
