You really need to work on that receiver graphic. A recolored or doctored up radar dish at the very least. It should probably be fairly large.

Agreed, a radar dish would make much more sense or something similar if they can get a custom sprite done. Like the basic idea since going solar takes up a lot of space.

The Problem is, that i cant make that Textures. I'm not a graphic Guy. i'm a Coder not more.

Fair enough, I was just saying it would be nice if you could get one made. BTW I'm running version 0.12.15 and mod just gives an error whether trying to load a save or start a new game

Its not a radar dish. Its supposed to be a flat panel with loads of tiny dipol antennaes :ugeek:

This mod is atleast 70 % stolen code

:evil:!

Im not going to be a douchebag, but everyone can do mistakes and i'm going to give you a heads up now that when taking a LOT of my code and then using it in your mod that does basically the excact same thing with just some variables renamed is to take code from my mod. You are therefore required to give me credit for my work. You are lucky that i chose to use a license that lets people use my code freely(when done as written in the spoiler) so you can still have your mod (my code) up.
Never the less trye and be more unique when creating a mod instead of stealing someone elses!

@OP : I have dled JorgenER's viewtopic.php?f=93&t=14701 and compared the code in control.lua with yours, and I must admit big chunks of code seem Copy-pasted, or just adapted (script.on_ <=> game.on_).
The least you chould do is give proper credit to original author.

How big? When it comes to trivial things a lot of coders are gonna end up writting the exact same thing. Get off your high horse

In fairness, this is pretty egregious copypasta... but let's let sleeping dogs lie, shall we?
