If you are recording a replay and a script calls LuaPlayer.zoom_to_world to switch the player rendering mode to the "zoomed in map" mode at a given point..

Then when replaying the replay, this zoom-to-world takes effect during the replay and never reverts to the regular camera which follows the player.

Since replays don't otherwise appear to track/replay map view changes, and there's no way to change the map view interactively when watching a replay, this means that during the replay you're stuck with the camera pointing at the zoomed location while the player runs around elsewhere, out of view.

To reproduce, I started a new game with the FactorySearch 1.10.14 mod (only) enabled, and did a couple of searches for starting items (ammo in the crashed ship, wood in a wood chest). Factory Search will call zoom_to_world when you select a result, to take you to the found location.

Replay the save, and you'll see the camera detach at the point where a search result is viewed.

edit: attachments don't want to cooperate, so here's dropbox links for the save/logfile:

brute-force workaround: append this to the save's control.lua:

Code: Select all

script.on_nth_tick(60, function(event)
  for _, p in pairs(game.players) do
    p.close_map()
  end
end)

(you wouldn't want to actually _play_ this save with that in place though!)

Thanks for the report. I see the issue was already fixed for 2.0.
