Long description
Belt Brush is a mod I made inspired by Youtuber Arumba07 he was being annoyed by how you would need to walk down your belt lines four times to make a new lane, and asked if someone would want to make a mod to make it so that you can brush belts just like you can brush concrete.
How it works:
At the top of the screen you can see 4 checkboxes, select the one that has the amount of belt you want to brush, you don't need to de-select the one you had before, Belt Brush will to that for you.
To Do
To Do
Integration of the easy-belt mod.
Add the possibility to 'overwrite' one belt with one + three (like when you place belts normally)
Change log
Change log
Version 0.0.5 (2016-04-16): Fixed a LOT of bugs. Belt Brush now features migration script's for all versions, updating should not cause problems.
Version 0.0.4 (2016-03-26): Fixed a game-breaking bug.
Version 0.0.3 (2016-03-25): Fixed some more multi-player problems and a single-player bug
Version 0.0.2 (2016-03-24): fixed multiplayer problems.
Version 0.0.1 (2016-03-19): Release
The other guy doesn't upload very often, and having to use 1 mod instead of 2 would be great + it would be up-to-date.
Thank you!

In multiplayer, game crashed with an error for my friend (He's not the Host).
He was placing belts with the "first" mode of your mod (regular) and he got kicked out of the game after an error message appeared.
He didn't screenshot it unfortunately....
Had to remove the mod from my server for now.
Hope you can find the issue!
Sorry about no error message, my friend is not really technical with PC...

I'm sorry! as for the message: maybe the log file can help, could you please ask him to send me (or you) the log-old and log-current files, I might learn what happened from that.
Also the server logs, if it crashed too.

I think your `on_gui_click` function should get a player index variable. This way you could also apply the logic to the player who clicked it, not always the first player.

I don't know if I can do that, I sent the creator of the other mod to ask him for permission, as he might not like it. He was active on the forum yesterday, so he probably will respond quickly.

that should be it, I was thinking about what might cause this. Thanks for the heads up! I'll work a bit on it today, and might have an update ready tomorrow.

Hmmmm, that's weird, what share you doing when you got the crash?

I think it was related to one of the other mods I have installed, but I just tried to place a belt when it gave that error.
Added the mod list I was using during the crash(Factorio 12.29).

hey matjojo,
first of all i like your addon so much! I allways did mainlines the "Armuba" way (or Steejo who know's and you make my life easier
But i looked at your code, and i think you can improve it and make it more clean, if you want i can show you some codingthings.
... and use github it's much easier for code handling
best regards

Thanks, I really like it when people tell me they like what I make.
I'd be really interested in learning some things to make the code a bit cleaner, I actually am doing this modding thing to learn code, I did some small things before, but nothing like this. Send me a PM and we'll figure something out.
I actually used Github before, (or any git system) but I really disliked the way the github program worked on windows, (I come from Xubuntu) and I really dislike the windows "powershell" and "cmd". I'll set it up right now actually, as I really should.

Two more questions:
Where you playing multiplayer?
Did you ever get this problem again?

So, got this from testing just version 0.0.3 in SP: Error while running the event handler: __BeltBrush__/control.lua:156: attempt to index global 'BB_glob_amount' (a nil value)
Also, the folder path wasn't correct(Zip needs the files inside a BeltBrush_0.0.3 folder).
Will give it a try tonight! 
and you make my life easier 
it's much easier for code handling
