DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION
I always found the ever-present rocket score window a little annoying. So I wrote this mod to make a new score window :
- you can manually open this window using the rocket button in the main bar.
- it displays the total number of rockets sent.
- it also contains a counter that can be reset and which allows the calculation of the average number of rockets you are sending per hour, and the average number of minutes between two launches.
- it has an autolaunch option (any silo with something loaded in the satellite slot is automatically launched). This option is disabled by default.
- it has an autoshow/hide option : the window can appear at every rocket launch, and is automatically hidden after a small delay (8 seconds by default, but that can be customized in the config.lua file).
- you can still manually open or close the window. If you manually opened it, the mod supposes that you want it to remain open and won't close it automatically.
- at every launch, the rocket button shows a fired rocket for a few seconds.
- the mod is taking forces into account, so it should work in multiplayer / multi-teams.

Note : factorio triggers the "rocket launched" event, only when the rocket is already flying and dissapears from the screen. So the window will autoshow and numbers will only update at the end of the launch... I cannot change this. Note that is was already the way the original factorio score window worked.

When installing the mod on an existing game, already containing silos and launched rockets :
- the mod will first scan the map for existing rocket silos. Depending on the size of your map, it can take a little time.
- then if you click a first time on the rocket button, then the mod will close the vanilla score window and will retrieve the number of rockets already launched with a satellite.

In case you have some doubts, the previous image was achieved on my test/debug map, in test mode, so with a lot of cheating
But if you obtain a nice score (rockets/hour), please post a screencopy in this thread.

TRADUCTIONS
- For the moment, there is one locale for english and one for french (my native language).
- If you are a native english speaker, do not hesitate to correct my english choices.
- If you want to provide any other locale traduction, please do, I'll integrate them.

Edit: Bug: GUI doesn't update when you launch rockets. You have to close and reopen to see the new score.

Do you like to make a smaller overlay like yarm or EvoGui?
The gui looks heavy in my eyes and then this mod has more advantage against the vanilla pop-up.

I don't know what LOIC is, please explain or give a link.

Anyway, I just changed a little thing in v1.0.3, and now it should autolaunch if anything present in the satellite slot.

Please try it and tell me if it works for your "LOIC" needs.

Are you working on an existing map/game ? In single player ? Are you using another mod that makes autolaunch ? Please be precise and eventually send me a gamefile to download somewhere.

The very first launch on an existing map is retrieving the old rockets count. Did you try a second launch ?

Please be precise and eventually send me a gamefile to download somewhere.

I just saw these that speak about 1 rocket / minute and that seem to be vanilla objects (with helper mods):
