It just displays a text file. If you want it to display newest-first, make a request to the mod author to list new changes at the top of the change log rather than at the bottom.

Hey, if that's the only way to do it then go ahead and do it. Publish it and I'll download it!

Alternatively, make it once, save it to your blueprint library, and don't worry about it.

Perhaps but I really don't feel like doing that... Complex setups are not for me.

That would be what the blueprint is for. Make it once and paste it from then on. A mod would basically be the blueprint but with hidden entities, I don't think there's a way to do it otherwise.

I feel like removal of prototype history dramatically speeds up load time in a way that cache-prototype-data does not. Though I haven't done rigorous tests to determine the impact of either, and since it's crashing I can't. Personally, when doing my own mod development where I am iterating on and te...

So this has never happened before. Thought it was a mod combination but it persists with all mods disabled, so, uh, I honestly don't know what's happened. :D I...: - Turned on cache-prototype-data and disable-prototype-history in The Rest, as I've done many times before - Restarted the game - I am n...

I'd guess that making animation for units is a lot more effort than making animations for buildings.

Organic with the soft curves and squishy flesh and smooth animation is always more difficult and involved than industrial with the hard angles and rigid, fixed motion.

kirazy

I'll also add that I use repeat_count to loop an animation for very-high animation playback speeds e.g. for Bob's pumpjacks with high numbers of speed modules so that the animation doesn't immediately reduce to a single frame. It had decent results.

kirazy

Yea, but is there a mechanism that prevents setting that flag on an entity (etc.) animations? After scrolling through the whole prototype overview I haven't seen a single instance where a Prototype/Animation is used as an icon. Only Prototype/Sprite and IconSpecification seem to be used as icons, a...

Mipmaps are supported on lots of stuff, including Animation which you just linked. But mipmaps are a memory-for-speed trade. They consume *more* memory, not less.

Code: Select all

mipmap_count
Type: uint8
Default: 0
Only loaded if this is an icon (has flag "group=icon" or "group=gui").

I'm getting this bug due to updates today for Angels mods.

Sea Block? You're probably better off not updating the Angel's mods for the time being, if so.

Ah. So they're already low-res graphics, and it's the hi-res graphics that don't exist? Right, oh, wait, Factorio actually has THREE levels of graphics, with IIRC "low-res" being 1 pixel for 4 of normal too..? ... or was "low-res" actually deprecated with 0.17 ? Also I remember ...

These are the icons as they exist in the icons folder:

: transport-belt.png (11.18 KiB) Viewed 5829 times

: iron-gear-wheel.png (9.83 KiB) Viewed 5829 times

The transport belt is the same resolution as the gear wheel, but perhaps a slightly different style.

kirazy

Also perhaps not exactly what was asked for, I just remembered the No Animations mod which claims to reduce VRAM usage significantly. I talked with kingarthur and he's going to implement frame_sequence as a means to maintain animations but with reduced frame count. Apparently py animations have an ...

the sprites are already done in their sizes, to increase them i would need to re-render which i wont. Downsize them to make the actual as hi-res would mess with some pipe connections.

The flamethrower technology has a semi-transparent background over the entire area:

The rocketry technology has a weird bit with the shadow cast by the lower rocket, the shadow cuts off abruptly, but not at the boundary of the image:

Is that normal that with the latest patch Transistors require Silver Wires?! It's Extremely different in terms of requirements and my megabase with tin just screwed up for the recipe change

This is an Angel's mods change.

kirazy

Actually the opposite. Re-rendering them at a lower resolution would look significantly worse than downsampling. That's what Supersampling and high-end graphic cards are all about. I mean, literally in the image in question that I posted, the one on the top left is a rendering that was output at th...

kirazy

no...cant just downside the graphics and keep the same size in game without the graphics looks trash. I feel like you're not understanding the difference in intent for Normal vs High-res. High-res has 4x the number of pixels as normal res (in conventional implementation), and so there's a 4x increa...
