[MOD 0.12.11+] Blueprint String

[655fdv]

i made an account just to ask this holy fuck i cannot find the exported blueprint strings at all i even did a windows search 2 times, i need to know where the export puts them since the instructions are wrong for me apparently

I assume you installed Factorio using the exe.

Go to C:\Users\655fdv\AppData\Roaming\Factorio.
Create a new folder called script-output if it doesn't exist.
Then try to export again.

sent you the save

YES thank you i found it, thanks for the reply

[DaveMcW]

sent you the save

Thanks, there was an import bug and an unrelated export bug. Both are fixed in version 2.0.4.

Reporting a little bug. It seems as though as exported blueprints containing Concrete and the Stone Brick-paths does not work. The strings turn out very small, and importing them does not work.

Why is there only a save all button? I can't save an individual blueprint (the one I have selected) and give it a custom file name?

Thanks, it is fixed in version 2.1.0.

Good idea, I added a "Save As..." button in version 2.1.0.

Can you also add a "Load..." button that shows a list of saved blueprints and let's me chose one? Then it is perfect.

Sorry, that is not possible with my .txt file design.

You can try this mod instead: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... hp?t=14243

That doesn't work in multiplayer, though. Why is it not possible?

[DaveMcW]

Mods are not allowed to read anything in script-output. The only files they are allowed to read will break multiplayer if you edit them.

I'm sorry... what the nonsense? A script can write a file but not read it later?

That sounds like it is 1) a design fail or 2) an oversight.

Does that mean there is no way at all for a script to write data somewhere and read it later, regardless of whether the game was restarted or a new save loaded?

Chrome is blocking the download of the zip attachment, with no option to override.

"blueprint-string_2.1.0....zip may harm your browsing experience, so Chrome has blocked it" with a "Dismiss" button and a "Learn More" option that just gives a web page "explaining" why it was blocked.

Any idea what's up with that? I was able to get a copy from a friend, but it's still obnoxious and I'd like to know why it thinks there's something malicious about this Factorio mod.

[DaveMcW]

I have no issues downloading it in Chrome 45.0.2454.101 m

You can try temporarily disabling protection. http://www.techgainer.com/disable-chrom ... -warnings/

Good morning,
It seems like i found a little gap on your error checking
Trying to use the "Save As.." Button on this blueprint gives me an error. Other blueprints are working fine :/
Good luck with the bug hunt

Thanks, that was a major bug in the compression library. I'm surprised no one caught it earlier.

Fixed in version 2.1.1.

Getting this error on world load, using 2.1.1 in Factorio 0.12.11:

Had the same error, go into the control.lua and search for game.on_ and replace all with script.on_ should fix it
