Did you post a new version with this? I can't seem to find it.

The mod linked in the OP is incompatible with 11.7. Here's what needs to be changed to make it compatible:
This needs to be added to prototypes\entities.lua, after animations = {...},
Code: Select all
belt_horizontal = express_belt_horizontal, -- specified in transport-belt-pictures.lua
belt_vertical = express_belt_vertical,
ending_top = express_belt_ending_top,
ending_bottom = express_belt_ending_bottom,
ending_side = express_belt_ending_side,
starting_top = express_belt_starting_top,
starting_bottom = express_belt_starting_bottom,
starting_side = express_belt_starting_side,
This will prevent the error mentioned by AartBluestoke earlier.
You will also need to change this (inside the {} after animations = , in the same .lua mentioned above)
Code: Select all
frame_width = 40,
frame_height = 40,
to this:
Additionally, your naming scheme is a little messed up. I would advise editing the info.json to change the name and title to these lines:
Code: Select all
"name":"BeltSwitchers",
"title":"BeltSwitchers",
instead of 'BeltSwitch' for them. Then you must rename the .zip to contain _0.0.1 or the corresponding version.
I have taken the liberty of doing these changes, and here is an updated download for 11.7:

Looks good, now we need a graphic still.
For balancing purposes, i suggest the following:
- Make the switcher 2 tiles long.
- Make the graphics so that the 2-lane belt splits up into 2 lanes, which in turn cross over eachother. (one tunnels a little bit, the other bridges a little bit while crossing)
- Make the switcher use either stock science or dytech science
- Make 1 for each corresponding speed, thus:
+ basic-transport-belt
+ fast-transport-belt
+ express-transport-belt
+ and the 2 from dytech (very fast/extreme?)
Graphic maybe something like this?
you can pm me for the source file.

For graphic just use half of the splitter. It will looks like that:

Just tried adding in 4 other levels of belts to this. Failed miserably. I'll never be a LUA coder

Is it possible to port this to 0.12.17? I tried out to change the code but it won't switch either from the left to the right nor from the right to the left.
Due to missing documentation page (searched everywhere) I can't fully check what's going wrong here.
Hoping that there is a fix for this possivle.

After 0.12 belt changes it's not possible to fix it.

Ah ok, I red the code and it seems to rely on dropping objets on the ground to exchange with other belts. I suppose that this is this logic that is not working anymore ?

After 0.12 items on belts are no longer an objects. It might be possible to redo the mod using current belt lines but I'm not sure - didn't play in code with those.
