Thanks for the quick response

EDIT:
May want to have a "set time to day" option too. (with revert to original time - like Factorio maps does)

MrDrummer wrote:I should add that I did have a poke at the control file to test which command made it appear on load, so that may link to the error which says:

Code: Select all

Cannot execute command. Error: [string "game.player.gui.top.add{type= "flow", name="S..."]:1: Gui element with name SSU_flow_main already present in the parent element

Either way, it works. Hope you resolve why it does not show the button on load.

But I don't want my character to be in the middle of the screenshot, I want him to be offset towards the corner of the screenshot (in my case I favour lower left corner).

So will you consider adding an offset functionality to your mod? I now know how to use the console now, thanks to help in this thread: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... 49&t=16935 ...but it'd still be nice to have a mod that handles things for me, including screenshot files not just overwriting each other but instead having unique names so that I can stay in-game as I take them all.

Actually, I don't usually need my character to be in the screenshots I take (since they're for teaching purposes). What I need is for each screenshot in a series (e.g. power01, power02 progressing up to power08 or power11 or whenever I'm done) to be of the exact same game world area. Currently, I accomplish this by building an L-shaped structure of Chests or Wall, and then wedging my character as thoroughly into the inner corner as I can, before taking each screenshot, so that they'll all be of the exact same pixel area, or at least close.

But some sort of "lock coords" functionality added to the screenshot mod would be nice, since that would quite possibly achieve perfect pixel accuracy/overlap whereas my manual method probably deviates by a few pixels now and then.

Peter34 wrote: I mean, sure, it'd be a neat functionality, but I'm just questioning whether it's worth the effort required to implement it.

Peter34 wrote: Locked coordinates don't have to persist between sessions, that would be unnecessary. It's not needed for didactic screenshots.

Some players might want to take "evolution" screenshot series of their factories, always using the same coords over the course of dozens of hours of play time (spread over several sessions), but then I think it's reasonable to expect them to input the coords manually.

The update has been out for a while, I don't really know what extra things to add. I you want anything to be added please do say!

Sorry. I tend to look for new posts in such threads, to announce a new version (since that also bumps up the thread to the top of the date-sorted sub-forum list), instead of looking under version history, so when there is no new post, I assume there is no new version.

Will your current version work with Factorio 0.12.10?
