[0.16.51] Some vanilla sprite images are 'Unknown'

[mophydeen]

You can call this:

Code: Select all

        player.gui.top["auto-trash-toggle-button"].sprite = "utility/trash_bin"
        player.gui.top["auto-trash-toggle-button"].sprite = "technology/rocket-silo"

But not this:

Code: Select all

        player.gui.top["auto-trash-toggle-button"].sprite = "technology/character-auto-logistic-trash-slots"

Error while running event level::on_player_joined_game (ID 43)
Unknown sprite "technology/character-logistic-trash-slots"

It's a bug because it won't call it.

There

I've tested 20+ images, with - and _ from achievements , technology etc. They work.

character-logistic-slots, character-auto-logistic-trash-slots and character-logistic-trash-slots don't.

[Bilka]

character-logistic-slots, character-auto-logistic-trash-slots and character-logistic-trash-slots don't.

Nothing of the behavior that you describe is a bug in the game: None of those 3 strings are names of vanilla technologies, so it's correct that it throws an error.

In general, when something does not work in scripting, assume that it's your fault (post in modding help) before assuming it's the game's fault (posting in bug reports).

[mophydeen]

It's in the same location as files that are called with technology/

Factorio/data/base/graphics/technology/

as such on can expect it works the same.

[mophydeen]

Maybe I'm just putting too much of my time debugging your code, reporting bugs and making suggestions.

[Bilka]

You are certainly putting too much time into expecting things to work a certain way instead of reading the documentation that states how it works: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Con ... SpritePath

But not this:

Code: Select all

        player.gui.top["auto-trash-toggle-button"].sprite = "technology/character-auto-logistic-trash-slots"

are you sure it's not supposed to be this?

Code: Select all

        player.gui.top["auto-trash-toggle-button"].sprite = "technology/character-auto-logistic-trash-slots-1"

if I'm right(I might not be, I didn't even look at the game's code), then Bilka is right, and you need modding help, and it's not a game bug.

Let's look at the prototypes:

Code: Select all

    type = "technology",
    name = "auto-character-logistic-trash-slots",
    icon_size = 128,
    icon = "__base__/graphics/technology/character-auto-logistic-trash-slots.png",

The file name is "character-auto", but the technology is "auto-character". GUI sprite paths are determined by the name of the prototype, they are not affected by file names.

I'm wrong and right at the same time, Bilka is right.
should be:

Code: Select all

        player.gui.top["auto-trash-toggle-button"].sprite = "technology/auto-character-logistic-trash-slots"
