so I got it to work now with 4 png files

I just had to change the order of the frames in each sheet as a final step,
since it loads all png files at once and puts them next to each other, then goes line by line, till it reaches the 64 frames I set for each direction.

Or you might be able to use stripes , which the base game mostly uses for entities with a lot more than 4 directions such as vehicles - I have never actually tried that with turrets myself, the most I have ever pushed the boat out for was an 8-direction turret with 16 raising/folding animations per...

("sprites" is not a valid property - you are probably thinking of "stripes"). thanks lol! So I corrected my code, game is starting, it is again kind of working, just doing something weird with the sprite when the turret is raising. BUT at least it is loading now layers = { { -- ...

Are you really trying to make a raising animation with 128 frames per direction? If so that is ... a lot, especially with such large sprites. As a point of comparison, the base game uses 5 raising/folding frames for gun turrets and 15 for laser turrets. yes, but I couldn't make it accept 2 spritesh...

Hi, I was trying to do a rather detailed raising animation for a turret with 2 spritesheets for each side, the sprite sheets have each 8x8 sprites ...I couldn't make it work, it always gave me a ROOT error(afaik), which confused me, because it worked for the attack animation... anyways I reduced it ...

When aiming on a specific spot below the feet of the character while shooting with space explorations teslarifle, the game will crash.

I tried it 3 times and it ended with the exact same error

I'll upload the savefile and the modsfolder aswell if needed

It even sais "...toggle this option if you experience graphical glitches..."

That fixed it, thanks

I feel stupid now

Hi, when I start factorio my monitor starts flickering/"blinking"(blackscreen) I only have this issue with factorio, the flickering doesn't stop when alt tabbing or closing factorio, I have to turn my monitor off and on to make it stop. I didn't have this issue in 0.16.xx when I last playe...

Hi I had an issue with RAM usage in factorio, game was suddenly eating 13 GB of RAM in main menu. Thought it was normal since I have like 90 mods installed which are active Still after trying to figure out how my game suddenly eats so much RAM I tried removing mods to find the cause turns out it was...

It's definitely something with a ton of sprites - when loading game, it passes lua init with something like 3-4G iirc, but when it gets to loading sprites, quickly goes over 11G and segfaults due to lack of memory. Is there a way for me to see which mod causes this without the need to test "ev...

I think the biggest RAM eater is Alien Biomes

didn't really pay attention to that ._.

you could remove "lightorio", "minime", "Bot-Servicing", "actual craft time" and "Alien Biomes" since they're all later additions

I did the command on both save games and got another error this time "Error while running event Will-o-the-Wisps_updated::on_tick (ID 0) __Will-o-the-Wisps_updated__/libs/zones.lua:150: attempt to index local 'chunk' (a nil value)" pretty close to the error which started this all, second o...

I used a mod to remove unused chunks so map adds newly enabled resources maybe that did something?


well nvm you said there were other people with the same error

currently uploading on onedrive, my inet is pretty slow should be done in 15 minutes ._.

interesting thing is, I still didnt have any crashes since I reinstalled your mod, so not sure what to make out of that I packed all mods and 2 saves together(latest main save(test 2) we use and one where it all started (test)) Save file where it all started uses less mods but both crashed before I ...

game eats 13GB in main menu and 16GB after loading savegame... so yeah

btw I tried it again and got the exact same error

didn't cause a problem in a relatively early save test

I'm currently at 170 hours on my map

Hi, I replaced the mod with your "debug" one game didn't start, got an error at start up: https://imgur.com/a/8FWBsRL ...so I removed "-debug"(essentially same name as the replaced one) from it's name and it worked but using your "/wisp zone export" command gave me this...

thx for responding.

I can give you save & mod list if needed.

But there are like >80 mods I'm using....

I stopped getting those errors after I removed and added your wisp mod, currently 6 hours in without any problems.

I'll report if something like that happens again

Hi I really like this mod but my game keeps crashing to main menu with this error

Hi I just installed this mod and noticed an "oil based generator" which to me seem like something just to burn excess oil... just what I needed but I can turn that thing only in 2 directions which seems like a bug and you can't turn it at all once placed couldn't try out the other stuff ye...
