Oh, weird. That's all in the same game? All I'm doing is querying your force's kill counts so if you're getting numbers like that, something's weird.

Yes i also don't know whats happened.
Could be a game engine bug and nobody noticed it because nobody played so long with visible stats?

But who cares :)

What do you think about adding another timer for session time?

Then maybe have an optional/customization setting to popup how long you have been going? Like every hour popup and let me know the sun might be coming up soon.

Or if there is no way to detect a new session just an option to have the popup every X game minutes based on the play time timer.

Or a mix where the player can basically manually activate that this is a new session and remind in one hour increments starting now.

Sounds complicated. I'll gladly review (and most likely accept) that pull request.

Request:

Convert and Add the "Rocket Score" from freeplay scenario into EvoGui. Honestly I really hate seeing the Rockets Launched gui on my screen, would look much more better if it was included within your mod.

Hello Narc,

i'm, playing a bit with your remote sensor interface.

With it, i only have the possibility to send a specific text to the sensor interface, but can't send a player.
You do it by code in your mod, where i don't have access to.

How can i send player specific information to the interface?
Currently i only use game.forces.player to show my research in percent.

In the settings gui, the mod name is added with brackets [] and then the discription but it takes to mich space and looks ugly.
Could you please remove the mod name before the description?

Greetings steinio

Yep, that would be a nice enhancement. I don't think it'd be super-hard to do, either, because sensor:get_line does receive a player argument.

I do take pull requests, but if you're willing to wait until I (or someone else) gets around to it (it might not be very long), I've created #58 to track it.

Yup, I can do that. It seemed like a reasonable default at the time, but not if it gets in the way.

Great,

i guess you just wrote the remote api, but never dreamed about that anyone use it :)

But i say you put so much good work in your mod, why should i reinvent the wheel.
So i would wait forever if neccessary.

I could imagine something like
for index, player in ipairs(game.players) do
remote.call("update_remote_sensor", "...", playerindex = index, text ="hello world")
end

The create_remote_sensor could be the same?

Just for your interest:
In remote.lua you wrote:
-- example: remote.call("EvoGUI", "create_remote_sensor", { "mod_name" = "my_mod",
-- "name" = "my_mod_my_sensor_name",
-- "text" = "Text: Lorem Ipsum",
-- "caption" = "Lorem Ipsum Text" })

this is probably wrong because it throws an error.
Correct (to many apostrophs):
-- example: remote.call("EvoGUI", "create_remote_sensor", { mod_name = "my_mod",
-- name = "my_mod_my_sensor_name",
-- text = "Text: Lorem Ipsum",
-- caption = "Lorem Ipsum Text" })

Seems you use a wrong version.

Did you download it from the first post or from factoriomods.com?

My assumption is based on the content of line 10 of control.lua of the current version:
'end'

Maybe i'm on the totally wrong way.

Actually, if memory serves, I didn't even write it myself -- I believe it was Afforess who pull requested it for use in probably Misanthrope.

Thanks, I honestly never noticed. I'll add it to the todo list.

Must be an old version of EvoGUI, for Factorio < 0.12.11. Try grabbing it from the first post of this thread instead.

Ladies and gentlemen, and all interested parties, EvoGUI v0.4.16 (direct download) is now available.

This release fixes the remote sensor creation examples and removes the mod name from remote sensors' titles as shown in the settings interface:

Instead, remote sensors get an asterisk ("*") in front to signify that they come from somewhere other than core EvoGUI. This should be much less invasive and more acceptable, I hope.

In my save, EvoGui was in the top left corner while other mod where at his right.
After updating EvoGui, the gui was move to the right of all button instead of being in the top left corner. Is there a way to move it back to the corner ?
Want more space restriction ? Or maybe you want to be forced to use train for other thing than ore and oil ? Try Building Platform Mod !

There's no support for moving GUI elements around on the modded HUD, and I'm not sure a single mod can safely do that. As you've seen, the most recently added element is the one furthest to the right -- so you'd have to remove and re-add the visual elements in the order you wanted to see them. Non-trivial because the mods might be keeping references to the visual elements that would be getting removed.

Yeah I ended up to deactivate mod, save without them, reactivate them. EvoGui is back in the corner ;) Thanks anyway.
We miss something to move/reorder those Gui (at least client side). As there is a side panel in 0.13, maybe mod will be able to add there button here instead of on top of the screen.

Suggest alternate evolution factor display. Showing linear values. Should work as long as mods don't break the standard limits.

Code: Select all

.5=1
.66=2
.75=3
.8=4

(1/(1-x))-1
My Mods:
Modular Armor Revamp - V16
Large Chests - V16
Agent Orange - V16
Flare - V16
Easy Refineries - V16

When 0.13 comes out, please have the option to show the individual evolution causing factors, per the FFF

Code: Select all

Evolution factor 0.8702 (Time 9%)(Pollution 57%)(Spawner kills 32%)
Thanks.

I don't think that formula works:

Code: Select all

(1/(1-0.9)) - 1 == 9
(1/(1-0.99)) - 1 == 99
But you don't need a formula:

Code: Select all

if evo > 0.99 then return 6
elseif evo > 0.8 then return 5
elseif evo > 0.75 then return 4
elseif evo > 0.66 then return 3
elseif evo > 0.5 then return 2
else return 1 end
(it's just my preference to start from phase 1 instead of phase zero). If you wanted to be more precise, you could (as summarized earlier in the thread) query the spawners:

Code: Select all

for _,spawner in pairs(data.raw["unit-spawner"]) do
    for _,unit_spec in pairs(spawner.result_units) do
        -- store the unit_spec, where unit_spec[1] is the entity type and 
        -- unit_spec[2] is a table of {evo_factor, probability_at_evo_factor}
    end
end
Stuff that into a dummy entity somewhere you can read it at runtime, and you've got a way to tell exactly what can spawn at any given evolution factor, ideally including modded spawners. I look forward to reviewing your pull request.

If it can be queried, then of course. It's not obvious how to do it from the 0.13 API doc preview, but probably that hasn't been updated yet.
