To me its not important if a returning player gets back the items automatically, which are still on their corpse. To me its only important that they are preserved for the team, which means, that they are taken from them, when they leave and are put back into the game world and that the team somehow...

Are you aware of the vanilla /open PlayerName command? It allows admins to open the inventory of any player, including offline players. It's what I use whenever someone leaves my multiplayer game with something important in their inventory. I wasn't aware that this command would also work for offli...

Quick question about multiplayer games, since I currently have no way to test this myself: Suppose a player is leaving the game (no mods), will the player-character remain in the world, or will it be removed and recreated next time the player joins the game? The character gets stashed and is no lon...

… if I were to join a multiplayer server where every time I logged out after playing for a few hours all my gear and stuff was left on the ground somewhere, that would actually make me not want to play on that server anymore and just leave for good. :/ I feel like this would be unnecessarily punish...

I could add a kind of secret treasure map that would chart a chunk with a player corpse and tag the location in map view. This would make it easier to find hidden corpses, and it would give a further incentive to hunt for maps. :-) Putting all corpses in the 0,0 chunk would definitely prevent playe...

The direct answer to your question is: No there should be no special action on player return or other player join. OK, that makes things so much easier! :-) The main goal behind my question is item preservation. There are two cases where items do get lost through inconsiderate player actions: 1) If...

I am looking for a mod that creates a corpse if a player leaves the game. In miniMAXIme , I already preserve player corpses when a player logs out of a multiplayer game. (Actually, I only set it to not expire until the player logs in again, when it will return to its remaining time_to_live, so othe...

So I didn't follow the forum for just a day and you've already fixed this? Splendid, thanks a lot, I'm looking forwards to version 1.1.105!

I've received a crash report for BioIndustries . The reporter provided a link to this saved game . Reproduce: Sync with the saved game to get all the mods, load the game, save under a different name and try tp load the newly saved game. The reporter believes that the crash is related to BI's "M...

You may have better luck if you fix that.

Can confirm: I've followed the link with the intention to fill out the survey, noticed that a Google account was required, and closed the tab immediately.

why are on_robot_mined and on_robot_mined_entity two different things? is on_robot_mined_entity supposed to act like on_robot_pre_mined? That's explained in the Lua-API description. on_robot_mined triggers when an entity (as opposed to a tile ) has been mined. Also, on_robot_mined_entity acts like ...

Instrument mode allows an instrument-after-data.lua that is guaranteed to run last. Right, that would work. I've never used this mode before, though, so I didn't think of it. :-) There's also --dump-data (see Command line parameters ). Definitely useful in general, but dumping all of data.raw seems...

Could you kick me in a right direction to help me write a script that prints all resistances of all enemy prototypes to the file? Or just how to iterate through all available Prototype/Units? This can be done in two way: Data stage: Create your own mod (containing info.json and data-final-fixes.lua...

I know you can do it like this manually, but I would like to turn this into a loop that will find all ingredients and use table.insert to add the byproduct instead. data.raw.recipe["iron-gear-wheel"].ingredients = { {"iron-plate", 2}, {"iron-plate-scrap", 1} } local fu...

If you've made some excessive changes that would persist even after your mod has been uninstalled, you could also define a command players can use to reset things. Naturally, the command should be called before the mod is uninstalled! (Example: In GCKI , players can "lock" their vehicles, ...

Could you post data.lua? Did i not just post it's contents a bit further up? You did, but I think the error message is from an edited version. As the code snippet ("And this should work") has more lines than the code it replaced, and may or may not have been inserted with additional empty...

The other little issue I had was with a train arriving and then blowing straight through the station. I think that this was because when the train is not there then all of the goods are marked as satisfied as there is no train so it assumes that the train has run out of everything. I guess that if ...

TLDR Please add a new "Character" tag (or even category) for the mod portal! Why? During the past two years, a number of mods providing new player characters have been released (see the dependency list on my character-selector mod miniMAXIme -- there may still be others I'm not aware of)....

Hi All I am trying to control the unloading of a train at one of my stations. The expression I want to evaluate is something like this (where T = train count and B = base count) (Bammo > 500 || Tammo == 0 ) && (BOil > 20000 || TOil == 0) && (BRobot > 50 || TRobot == 0) && (B...
