Thanks a lot for these additions!

You can define new prototypes in the data stage. They must be based on an existing type/class of things, where each type/class has certain properties that you can use (see here for a list of all prototype types).

There may be different prototypes of each prototype type/class. So the easiest way to ...

Looks like this …

It seems there is no solution. When I wrote the following directly in the game file
__base___/prototypes/entity/resources.lua:

minable =
{
…,
results = {"uranium-ore", "stone"},
…,
},

I got an error:

Failed to load mods: Error while loading entity prototype "uranium-ore" (resource ...

I'd say you can't, you have to work around it. The events on_pre_player_left_game/on_player_joined_game and on_pre_player_toggled_map_editor are your friends …

I made a couple of edits:
table.insert(data.raw.resource["iron-ore"].minable.results, {type = "item", name = "stone", amount = 1})

But as a result, only the content of the error changed:

Idea2:
Check with surface filter around the player location every tick, but might be a bit resource intensive.


If you really only want to react to players standing on top of rails, it would be ...

Can you post a save file and steps to reproduce the issue as you're seeing it?


I started a new game without mods. Used SHIFT+CTRL+E to open the prototype browser, then clicked on the first visible link (which was to the prototype of the first custom-input, crash-site-skipped-cutscene; any other ...

Hi! When I try to add new features to my mod, nothing happens. I removed some logging and the logging still happens when I load the game up. I am using the correct version of the mod, I checked myself. The only thing that's different since I was last able to add mod features is that I installed ...

I can see some extremely niche uses for wanting to be able to dynamically generate events perhaps?



It is still useful for custom scenarios


Yes, makes sense. But that means we'd still have to keep two methods for registering custom events: the easy way by checking prototypes.custom_events ...

@boskid: Hi! As I've just noticed you've taken an interest in this, there is a related issue with LuaBootstrap::get_event_handler . Currently, passing on the name of a custom event will result in an error:

11413.654 Error MainLoop.cpp:1432: Exception at tick 286131: Error while running command ...

Can you post the relevant code?

Sure. I create the event prototype in data.lua:

data:extend({
{
type = "custom-event",
name = "minime_exchanged_characters",
}
})


In control, I raise the event like this:

local pass_on = {
player_index = player.index,
old_character = old_char,
new ...

If GUIs (modded or vanilla) are overlapping, clicking on a GUI in the background should bring it to the front. This used to work in Factorio 1.1 (just checked with version 1.1.110).

We can now define custom events as CustomEventPrototype during the data stage. We can also use the name (string) of that prototype with script.raise_event and script.on_event. However, it seems that the name passed on with the event data is numeric:


12490.617 Script @__Pi-C_lib__/libs/debugging ...

Great, thank you very much!

My mod miniMAXIme allows players to change their appearance on the fly (depending on third-party character mods). The players get a GUI to preview and select characters:

Nowadays, there are various mods providing new characters, among them New Gear Girl Character. You might want to check out the dependencies of miniMAXIme for a list of all the compatible character mods I've noticed so far.

if someone will find it, i found only one solution: custom commands
