mod on_init order?

[ownlyme]

my wave defense mod seems to get loaded before the armored train mod, which causes bugs because my mod unlocks all technologies on init.
so since "w" should come after "a" i wonder what the on_init load order is, and if i can manipulate it somehow
otherwise i would like to know what force.research_all_technologies() exactly does, so i can just imitate that function.
thx

lowercase 'w' comes before capital 'A'.

You can add it as an optional dependency in info.json to force your mod to load last:

Code: Select all

"dependencies": ["base", "? Armored-train"]

this doesn't seem to affect the ingame load order (when starting a new scenario)
also both mods start with a capital letter..

maybe there is something else wrong, because the error is not indexing field '?', but instead comparing number with nil

this is the other mod's code:
on_init:
global.maxVehicleTurretTable = {}
for index, force in pairs(game.forces) do
global.maxVehicleTurretTable[index] = 1
end
global.maxTurretsUpperLimit = 1

on_research_finished:
if global.maxVehicleTurretTable[force] < global.maxTurretsUpperLimit

my mod sets the research of all forces to researched on init (but doesn't create a new force)

Are you sure you don't mean "wave defense scenario" when you say "wave defense mod"? Scenario on_init is always loaded before any mod on_init. For some "fun" discussion about the annoying interactions between on_research_finished, on_init and research_all_technologies see this old thread.

The problem the other mod seems to have is defining "global.maxTurretsUpperLimit = 1" outside of an event, which will simply be ignored, and thus when they try to compare it in on_research_finished it is nil. Though that should never work and not be triggered by your code. (but then again the example you gave is too short and unformatted to guess.)
