Re: [MOD 0.15.29+] Creative Mode 0.3.12 - Infinite resources

Creative Mode Fix 0.0.25 - bug with the automatic creation of infinite resources and non-standard icon sizes. Code in lines 242-285 of data-final-fixes assumes that item icons are default size, but it copies attributes from the base item including icon_size. When the base item wasn't icon_size = 32...

Try using the disable command first, and then the enable command again. If the mod is already enabled, running the enable command will be ignored.

What version of CM-fix are you using? That was fixed in 0.0.22. 0.0.25 0.0.26 is current.

Re: Game Crashing During Initial Loading

What is the exact error/crash message? Have you tried running the standalone version instead of the steam version? Have you tried downgrading or upgrading your GPU drivers? It looks like, from your log, a crash is occurring while loading shaders, which leads me to believe it could be driver related.

Re: Check mod-global values with console

You have to write a function inside the mod that dumps the global table, and either add a console command or a remote interface to invoke it. If you don't wish to do this yourself, the standard library includes a console GUI that you can add to each mod, adapted from another author, accessible via r...

Re: The patch.png files? What do they do?

Patches are used on more than just the roboport, such as the boiler; essentially, a patch is used anywhere that requires more control over layering to get the correct visual effect. With the boiler, the east orientation has a small patch to ensure part of the boiler isn't hidden behind either the at...

Re: [MOD 0.15.29+] Creative Mode 0.3.12 - Infinite resources

When importing blueprints saved in factorio 0.15 with Creative Mode 0.15 entities, into a 0.16 game with Creative Mode enabled, none of the entities in the blueprints get imported. creativeimport.PNG The 0.16 branch of CM is currently technically a different mod, not compatible with the 0.15 version.

Re: [0.16.28] You are not an admin in a local game

As a workaround you can load the map in the dedicated server, add yourself as admin from the console, which always has admin rights, and save.

Re: 0.15 game save not loading

Nevermind, I fixed the issue in some unrelated refactoring I did for the next version of 0.16 which is why I couldn't reproduce the error - it was already fixed :) Getting too efficient with the bug fixing, fixing them before they even get reported. Gonna tear a hole in space/time if you aren't car...

There shouldn't be a need for this: you can nest localisedstrings and let them take parameters. This lets you display translated names for items/entities/etc. in console messages/GUI/etc. [message] mod-message-with-parameter=__1__ is an entity. game.print{"message.mod-message-with-parameter&quo...

Re: [16.23] Fluids have direction preference

I wonder how technically in-depth it would be to reverse the update order each tick, which would theoretically solve this without processing overhead. That wouldn't change the behaviour or theoretically solve anything; if you built all the pipes in the reverse order, that would be exactly the same ...

Re: [16.23] Fluids have direction preference

In the current implementation of Factorio fluids, there is a defined update order, so in T sections of pipe, one side will always have priority. This is not so much a bug, as a side-effect of how it was designed. North and West have priority IIRC.

Re: Using entities as table keys is behaving strangely

Entity is a user_object for lua ofc it behaves wonky when used as key in a dictionary. Best practice is to use entity.unique_identifier as key and entity as value: global.damaged_entities[e.entity.unique_identifier] = e.entity You probably should also make this dictionary global or inconsistent dat...
