Help Defining Sprite?

Post by d3x0r »

http://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Conc ... SpritePath
says
"It is specified by string. It can be either the name of the sprite prototype defined in the data or path in form "type/name"."

For use on a sprite-button.

Every name I use there including like "go_to_arrow" which is a predefined sprite type, it says it's not defined.

Code: Select all

		local button = flow.add
		{
			type = "sprite-button",
			name = "power-readout-show-button",
			style = mod_gui.button_style,
			sprite = "go_to_arrow",  -- this fails
            --"__power-readout__/graphics/button.png", -- this fails
            -- "power-readout"   -- this fails
            -- "utility-sprites/go_to_arrow"  --this fails
            -- "utility-sprites/power-readout"  -- this fails
			tooltip = {"power-readout-button-tooltip"}
		}
I had a hard time getting the sprite to be added with data:extend....

but did get it to be added so it looks like all other sprites with; which also reminds me, why do I have to specify width and height? It's kinda implied through the image, is it not?

Code: Select all

data.raw["utility-sprites"].default["power_readout"] = 
	{
	filename="__power-readout__/graphics/button.png"
	, priority = "medium"
	, width=64
	, height=64
	, flags = { "icon" } 
	}

or....

Code: Select all

data:extend({
	{ type="utility-sprites",
        // without 'name="default", because I can't use any other name here... 
	  power_readout = {
		name="power_readout"  -- added name redunandantly here, because I got the following error without it....(still get error with it)
		, filename="__power-readout__/graphics/button.png"
		, priority = "medium"
		, width=64

		, flags = { "icon" } 
	  }
	}
} )

Although I do think that sprites should be able to be defined as simply as...

Code: Select all

data.raw["utility-sprites"].default.power_readout2 = { filename = "__power-readout__/graphics/button.png" }




Errors I get on various attempts for various icons...
