Wiki dump

I know that it isn't that easy to do dumps with media wiki. So I ask: Am I allowed to do a dump it with httrack myself? Could do it gently with a few hundred kbit/s. Should I provide dumps so that other crawlers do not need to crawl over it again?

Re: Overwrite dependency incompatibility

All of which you could probably reach out to the developers and have a conversation about the incompatibilities instead of straight forking it.
As I mentioned: It is impossible to do for them, since there are no boolean expressions for dependencies.

Re: Overwrite dependency incompatibility

The only case where the proposal might have value is for abandoned mods with restrictive licenses that forbid forks even for the sake of compatibility and redistribution on the mod portal, of which there are very few. Out of the top 50 mods there are literally only 2 mods that allow forks and have ...

Re: Overwrite dependency incompatibility

Ultimately this entire request is purely for multiplayer purposes since in single player anyone can as you've mentioned modify the mods however they want. No. I bet 99% of single player mod users never edited any mod and do not like to learn how to do that. Even if it is only unzipping and editing ...

Re: Overwrite dependency incompatibility

When installing or updating a mod off the mod portal it automatically installs the dependencies for that mod using the dependency list the mod provides - recursively. Currently that's it - that's the entire set of logic.
If you want the interface to work, it is a little more complicated.


Here is ...

Exactly where can you 'see that'? inotifywait, your favourite malware scanner or just: Delete the file after the game says: Loading mod.... Won't make a difference.

Re: Overwrite dependency incompatibility

if enabling or disabling a given mod Dependency management doesn't work in this case anyway. If you disable a dependency the interface won't complain or mark your dependencies as red until you press commit. So "tries to" is a nice description. Citing the change in a feature that that isn't ...

Re: Fast hash in lua

If you are just managing data during the prototype stage, the performance does not really matter, Like I said. In reality it is not a problem. I just do not like it.
concatenating with e.g. ':' or '|' and leaving the hashing to the actual table (which will hash the string as a key) should be good ...

Re: A mod that disables hand crafting of intermedite items

Has a setting for your mode. (settings->mod settings) (you have to restart the game that it takes effect.) Would be nice if someone provides a nice picture for the burner assembler under a free licence. Then the mod would be ready to be uploaded.
Including that would also add enough code to break ...

Re: Cryptic error help

advertise_address is set wrong in your config.toml. This doesn't affect a lot since gitlab usually uses relative addresses and TLS is handled by your proxy.
But if you press clone you get the wrong address.

Re: Cryptic error help

Your master branch seems to be in the middle of variable refactoring. Can you five a branch that runs until you get the error?
Btw: the http link-domain in your gitlab are broken. Replacing a29384eee068 with git.kyuvulpes.com works.

Re: Fast hash in lua

What are you trying to hash? With entity unit numbers being unique and tables taking string keys, I rarely found a reason to hash anything. Curious what you are trying to do.
I am generating categories and have to find them again later in the data.raw. So yes. I am using the hash as an string ...

Re: Fast hash in lua

Bringing your own seems to be the standard practice
They are either horribly slow or require luajit 5.3. Even so bit32 lib speeds up things a lot.
For comparison this is a variant that supports 5.3: https://github.com/Egor-Skriptunoff/pure_lua_SHA/blob/master/README.md

Fast hash in lua

Is there a way to get a fast hash of something? SE has it's own implementation of CRC32. But doing something in a lua5.2 interpreter feels really wrong.
And there has to be a native hash function for the tables. I just do not see a way to access it.

Re: Overwrite dependency incompatibility

But also, you can ask the author to remove the incompatibility But there is a reason why they have these.
Originally I wanted also ask for proper boolean expressions in dependencies.
Here is a nice example:
For example aai-containers and 5dim-core won't even load together.
So I'm pretty sure ...

Overwrite dependency incompatibility

I like to play with a lot of mods and so I do a lot of fixes for other mods and try to do changes to get them interacting better with each other. But there is a limit: When mods recognized their incompatibility. While it is possible to unpack the mod and just modify the info.json this prevents you ...

Achievement warning

Tried to do the "Express Delivery" Achievement. After it didn't unlock I found out, that achievements got disabled because I set enemy bases to 200% frequency but 50% size. (Wanted to have better chances to have a convenient biter nest for eggs.)
WTF! You can disable enemies by setting the starting ...
