I would like to be able to have a mod open the map view that follows an entity (like the train overview GUI can).

Thank you for the request,
I have added it for the next release

Code: Select all

- Added 'entity' to LuaPlayer::open_map and LuaPlayer::zoom_to_world, which specifies an entity to follow.

Out of curiosity, how do robots take fire damage? At first glance, I'd sort fire into the non-targeted group, but bots certainly burn when flying over fire.

The fire flame on the ground doesn't do any filtering for collision masks, it just does damage to all entities in the fire hitbox

You can use `entity.set_command` and set an Idle command, with the distraction type of 'by_anything':

Hi,

Can someone change my username to Asynchron, please?

Thanks,
Asynchron.

It is done

The biters don't spawn particles if they are damaged by 'fire' damage type, if the script uses this type to do the damage it will not spawn the particles.

Mods can also add other damage types to the `damage_type_filters` in the particle trigger effects to also filter with those ones.

Thanks for the report,

It is fixed for the next release

automatically load all the mods from dependencies before the mod.

Its a great idea! Actually its what we already do

Thanks for the report,

I have fixed it for 1.2

Suggested solution: remove the pollution modifier text shown below the progress bar. It doesn't need to be there: the modifier is already shown on the entity tooltip. Agreed, it is weird, there is far more useful information that is relegated to the tooltips, while this random pollution modifier is...

Hi,

Thanks for the report,

I have fixed it for 1.2

While it would be possible to try to do that in Lua using find_entities_filtered calls in on_tick, it would be much nicer if that functionality is built into the API. I mean, you can say that about any part of mod making, hand-off the effort and maintenance of the code to the engine But generally u...

I added the languages that were translated enough (at least 90%)

I have to start a new game during development and debugging, I've done it already 500 times, possibly going to go into the thousands in the future while making this mod, and each new game generates a new map unnecessarily adding to development time exponentially. Hold CTRL when pressing 'New Game'

Expected behavior: If a spider-vehicle is in motion, it will immediately stop once it has received the stop_spider() command. This isn't very intuitive. Shouldn't stop_spider() automatically clear autopilot_destination/autopilot_destinations? The function is only calling the internal resetSpeed() o...
