have just upgraded from version 0.16.51 to version 0.17.79 and was looking forward to an improved game experience, and to be honest the graphics are wow. :D But to my horror I found that the tool belt has been rendered useless. A change that just did not need to happen. :( Please can we have a mod t...

Thank you Klonan, I did the suggested change and all is now working fine.

This is an old mod first authored by "Turtle” and subsequently modded to keep up with factorio versions. I find this mod to be very useful as the driving mechanic in the game is sketchy to say the least. Please find below the control lua code: script.on_event(defines.events.on_player_driving_ch...

Hi I am playing Factorio v 0.16.51. I have a mod giving the following Error: Error while running event DriveAssist::on_player_driving_changed_state (ID 26) Key "column_count" not found in property tree at ROOT stack traceback: __DriveAssist__/control.lua:6: in function <__DriveAssist__/con...

Addendum. All seems to work now; well at least factorio now accepts the mod, no error reports, so will have to see how it goes in the game. darkfrei thank you very much for all your help It has been most appreciated.

darkfrei. I have installed Notepad++ but the encodeing selection does not give me encode in UTF-8 without BOM. The only choises it gives me are UTF-8 or UTF-8-BOM.

darkfrei. I have no idea what that is never mind wherer to find out.

darkfrei. Please see below copy of the data.lua as requested. As to the other error, if it is what I thik it is, it is a transcribing error on my part. data:extend({   {     type = "item",     name = "curved-rail",     icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/curved-rail.png",  ...

darkfrei. Tryed the code and got the folowwing error mesage:

Failed to load mods:___CurvedRail__?data.lua:2unexpected Symbol near char(160)

darkfrei. Thank you for the help. But I am not a coder and this might be a daft question, but which file does this code need to be copyed to?

Sorry but I fail to see how this helps.

How to make the curved rail mod work in version 15? As this mod makes any form of complex junction easer to make.

Well this error was on my end and has been solved. Just got to game test now as this will take some time, I will post the results hear as I get them.

Thank you so much for your help. All the best.

Close now the error is:

__DriveAssist__/control.lua:2: unexpected symbol near char(160)

Sorry I am very new to this, so i have no idea what you just said. I'm afraid i need the idiots version.

Ok done but would you belive it I have a new message, as follows:

Error while running the event handler: __DriveAssist__/control.lua:3: attempt to index field 'player' (a nil value)

Thinking on It might be helpful if I posted the lua file so please see below: require "defines" script.on_event(defines.events.on_tick, function(event) if game.tick%20 == 0 then if game.player.vehicle and game.player.vehicle.valid and game.player.vehicle.type == "car" then if gam...

Ok that seems to work now but with new game I get this error code:

_DriveAssist__/control.lua:1: module defines not found; no such file __DriveAssist__/defines.lua no such file __DriveAssist__/defines.lua no such file C:/Program Files/Factorio/data/core/lualib/defines.lua

Never seems to end.

Hi Thank you for the reply. I tried the modification you suggested but I just got the following message: -------------------------- Error --------------------------- JSON parser error in package metadata: C:/Users/Hal/AppData/Roaming/Factorio/mods/DriveAssist_1.0.0/info.json(9): expected '}' or ',' ...

I have a mod that I have been able to keep working all though to 12.x but I can't seem to find a way to transfer it to 13.x and onward. I am hopping there is just a small coding change like the other changes I have done. Is this the case? If so what is the change needed? For clarity the mod consider...
