Yes, you'd want to do that in the data.lua (or other staged variant). the other staged variants are data-updates.lua and data-final-fixes.lua (loaded in that order, they mostly allow not specifying as many optional dependencies for other mods). Also you'd want to make sure that if someone adds the ...

A huge area radar that only uncovers in the first place It wouldn't be just the first place if you used the ontick event to add energy or setup some other way for them to continuously receive power. Would it be possible to reduce the energy needed per sector scan to something miniscule (1kJ, for ex...

Unfortunately, the area that the radar scans constantly and allows you to see all active entities within, does not increase and I cannot find anything within the base game files to do with how wide an area the radar can see... So how would I go about modding that area? Unfortunately that is current...

May someone help me? First the tutorial isn't quite updated to 11 yet (mainly the car prototype used by the bomber has changed), look a couple posts up and you'll see a zip of the partial update (graphics haven't been redone yet). Second, what you posted would indicate an issue with Factorio itself...

You can specify directions in assembling-machine animations just like you can the mining-drill animation. Factorio checks the animation table for a 'north' table, if it doesn't find one it uses the given animation for all four directions. The same happens if you give the north animation table, it wi...

As kovarex's post added migration code and removed control.lua According to this comment by kovarex: not only because it should move the technologies table into local variable, so it doesn't create the full table of technologies objects for every j.technologies["something"] This would be ...

The signal entity itself just defines that it's type is "rail-signal", but I haven't been able to find anything defining that type anywhere. All actual types are in the C++ code, so that would explain why you can't find anything. Perhaps the best option here would be using findentitiesfil...

Please make a Jetpack mod that allows the player to fly. Maybe as modular armour module or similar. Should either use fuel or energy etc. The wiki modding tutorial adds a 'bomber', admittedly it's a bit out of date now but there's a somewhat working-ish version here (if you consider using a car as ...

(assembling-machine): No such node (width) Modifications: Miniaturization frame_width and frame_height changed to width and height in 11.8, for consistency with sprites, should just be a matter of using find/replace in the prototype files (notepad++ can do all files in a directory, and sub-director...

Nice work, you should place these on the wiki so they can be found easily later (also you can split them up more easily into relevant sections) :P A few things I'd like to mention in the first code block you initialize glob.var and var to "a" not to "" as you show later the first...

I'm not sure if you know about this, but you can use the game.entityprototypes table to access properties of entity prototypes from control.lua. Not everything is there though (try game.player.print(game.entityprototypes['stone-furnace'].help()) ), but yes it's good to know; if you have an entity r...

nice mod idea :) One: if you log out of a MP server while crafting, your character will continue to lose health while offline and when you log back in you may be dead. How is that a bug? Isn't it kind of the point that if you keep crafting you will die? lol. Beyond that it's probably because MP play...

i check if the entity exist To be technical (and programming is ALL about technicalities), you check that the reference to an entity exists with "blood .entity ~= nil" and a couple lines down with "if blood .entity then" but you never check that the entity that reference is for ...

if you use player.name, i think you need to know if player.name was set hm... I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that people playing in multiplayer will set a name...I didn't want to use the playerindex because I assume those could change as players leave (after game.removeofflineplayers is c...

so I updated the Time Display mod for multiplayer (with some help from FishSandwich) and as briefly mentioned in an edit on the third page I encountered an issue with game.onload not having a list of players, I kind of assume this is actually to be expected to some extent though I also assume this w...

try removing the game.onsave code so that the gui isn't removed That worked. Thanks FreeER. :D Glad I could help :P Sorry it took so long :lol: For everyone who comes across this here's the download link with all of the changes made (all the previous ones I posted should work too, but people tend t...

*moved to Ideas and Request For Mods
check out the search feature, it's pretty useful

Okay so, it works fine when I use the remote.call, but after a few seconds the clock disappears again. I was afraid that might happen, onsave it's setup to remove the gui (so that if the mod is removed it doesn't leave the gui behind with no way to remove it except manual game commands), if onload ...

Hmm, no error, no crash, but the clock doesn't show on MP saves. :/ Edit: Works on new games created in multiplayer. Right... I thought about that as soon as I made made the post and tried to change it before anyone noticed :lol: just to make sure this is line 159 of the one I first did if glob[pla...

New error, both MP and SP maps. :( Hm, I didn't encounter that myself... I added a couple checks for what I assume happened there (that ontick got called when there was a player without any TD settings, not much else could happen there but I wouldn't have expected that since default settings are ap...
