[0.16 / 0.17] LTN Tracker - a GUI for LTN

[eduran]

How would you like to have them sorted or how should the inventory ideally look? So far I've been unable to come up with a solution that solves the issue.

[eduran]

I've overhauled most of the GUI code. It is now a lot easier for me to add additional functionality and the layout is more in line with 0.17 optics. It's not ready for release, yet, but close enough to be usable. I don't want to release it "officially" until I have time for lots of testing.
For adventurous LTNers, a beta version is available. Make sure to disable LTNT, having both the regular and beta versions running at the same time is not a good idea. Also, expect bugs

[eduran]

Inventory filtering is now part of the beta version. You can deselect each individual category. Mods adding their own item groups should work until the UI runs out of space. The individual sub-frames are collapsible (not all that useful, just showing off). Items are sorted in the order they appear in the crafting menu. Hopefully that will make this tab more usable in heavily modded games.

Edit: Instead of showing all items, it is now possible to only show currently and recently provided items. Time until those items are hidden can be customized. Still need to find a workable solution for modded games with more than three additional item categories.

Never tested the on_configuration_changed part 0.1.3 should fix that error.

Don't run both the stable and beta version of LTNT at the same time. Only use one of them, and only use the beta if seeing new features is more important for you than stability (or if you want to help me bug-test ).

[eduran]

Probably added a bunch of bugs and issues with the newest version with this graph. Totally worth it

Damn, this will turn LTN tracker into a must have for my next .17 game I am currently on .16 in my seablock run and I find it immensely useful over there as well.

[mrvn]

Must have, me too.

But with SeaBlock and some extra Bobs/Angels mods there are a lot of extra categories. You said only 3 more will fit. What happens then? Will the filter just not be able to show them all or crash the mod? Can't the window be wider or use multiple lines for categories?

The code handling categories will find them all and add filter buttons for each one. It won't crash, but will push buttons further to the right than is intended. That is just temporary, I will come up with a way to show more filter buttons (probably by adding another row, if needed).

Hiya,

I recently updated to the new version and within 5 mins i have the following error appear :



Many Thanks HS

New beta feature: When selecting a train or LTN stop an info window is shown (the vanilla GUI is also there). Rather basic at the moment, still trying to figure out if this is useful or not. Feedback on this and what would be useful to display in or control through this window is appreciated.

0.1.5 introduced a bug that essentially rolls a dice every 30 seconds and gives you a 1:1800 chance for this error I managed to play for around two hours without running into it, but you were apparently not as lucky. Fixed in 0.1.6.

Can't the window be wider or use multiple lines for categories?

Multiple lines for category filters are implemented now.

When a train has left over items when arriving in the depot nothing happens. But on the next delivery you get an alerts that it was loaded wrong. It would be better to warn about the train not being empty at the depot.

Trains are not checked on arrival at the depot, but when leaving the requester. If the train is not empty at this point, an alert is triggered. If your train manages to pick up items on its way from requester to depot or if you assign a non-empty train to an LTN depot, that will indeed not be noticed by LTNT.

After a work-related break development of 1.0 is continuing. Pace will still be slow-ish for a while. 0.1.6 is now ready and ships with a brand new tab:

Apparently, my CPU production requires an upgrade and I will probably need more copper mines shortly. At least LDS is trending upwards.

In the Inventory (and now Statistics) would it be possible to have a toggle to cancel out the provider/requester limit?

For example the inventory shows I have 20k iron ore. But that is spread out over 4 stations, each 5k each. With the provider limit being 8k none of the station actually provides any iron ore. Similar a station requests 6k iron ore but since the request limit is 8k it doesn't actually want any ore yet. I would like to only see the over producing and under provided.

Also in the Statistics screenshot I don't see any items in transit. Shouldn't there be a band of yellow in the middle for that? Half the amount shown positive and half negative maybe.

That is already the case. Item signals below the request / provide thresholds are not counted for either the inventory or the statistics graph.

The stats tab is pushing the boundaries of what is possible with modded GUI elements pretty hard. Each graph is made from about 100 individual elements and keeping them updated is not an easy task. Most modded UIs have a few dozen in total. That is also the reason why the shortest time frame is one hour. I am reluctant to add more moving parts.
If we ever get access to the built-in graph elements I plan to create something that looks similar to the production statistics and include items in transit. Until than, I won't add additional complexity.

Ok, that partly already does what I want. Just didn't see it with the number of items in the inventory.

So let me rephrase the request to what I think is still missing. I want to see just how much over production or under provision is there. A station providing 12k iron plates with a provider limit of 8k has a surplus of 4k. I want to see just the 4k, not the whole 12k. The 8k provider limit are necessary for deliveries to function while the extra 4k tell me how much ahead of production for the next deliver I am.

It might also be helpful to calculate the amounts in multiples of the provider/requester limit. Ideal I would like it in multiples of trains. But there is no way to figure out how many cargo/fluid wagons a station will get. The min/max train size includes the locomotives so it doesn't tell what cargo capacity the train will have. That way a station providing 12k iron plates for 1 cargo wagon trains (8k limit) would count as 1.5 (or 0.5 as surplus) and a station providing 32k iron ore for 4 cargo wagon trains (16k limit) would count as 2 (or 1 as surplus). Would make the numbers easier to compare.

Does that makes sense?

Hi,
after clicking on Station tab this error occurred.
I don't have any station with default network ID, all the station are either in ID=1 or ID=2, maybe this error have something to do with it. If there is any way i can help you, fell free to ask

Edit: Installing LTN-Combinator Mod solved this issue.

Will be fixed in 0.1.10. I thought I had uploaded it yesterday, but apparently messed up. I will try again when I am home

A station providing 12k iron plates with a provider limit of 8k has a surplus of 4k. I want to see just the 4k, not the whole 12k.

That way a station providing 12k iron plates for 1 cargo wagon trains (8k limit) would count as 1.5 (or 0.5 as surplus) and a station providing 32k iron ore for 4 cargo wagon trains (16k limit) would count as 2 (or 1 as surplus). Would make the numbers easier to compare.

Does that makes sense?

It does. I will look into subtracting thresholds from inventory as an option. Your other suggestion would only work for individual stations, not the total inventory (because different stations can have different thresholds). That would result in different numbers for the same item, depending on where you look at it.
