/c game.take_screenshot{show_gui=true} problem

Hi,
it seems that the command
Code: Select all
/c game.take_screenshot{show_gui=true}
does not capture any GUI.
I tried also the SSU mod that gave the same result.
(
viewtopic.php?f=92&t=17297)
Could it be a problem with my graphic settings, or is it a general problem ?

Thanks for the report
The 'show_gui' shows the alt mode gui, not the user gui

ah ok, because in the doc:
http://lua-api.factorio.com/0.12.34/Lua ... screenshot
it seems that there is also a
show_entity_info :: boolean (optional): Include entity info (alt-mode)
which is different than
show_gui :: boolean (optional): Include game GUI in the screenshot
"game GUI" sounded like the whole GUI (quick bar, top bar, minimap, etc...)
Could you show me a screencopy with these kind of infos, because I do not really understand what it refers to.

Is there a way to make a screencopy with the current user GUI (current windows, bars, etc...) ?
I mean, from factorio, because I can still press "printscreen" on my keyboard.

How would the game know which players gui to screenshot?

I saw a "player" field, and as there is also a "position" field, I was supposing that the "player" field was not used to get the player position, but to identify the player's gui, and that the "show_gui" would do what it sounds like ...

Hi Klonan, any news ?
The only thing i have found which the 'Show_Gui" shows is the entity gui, such as the out of fuel icon

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install Factorio 0.11.22.
2. In console type: /c game.takescreenshot{showgui=true}
3. Look at the screenshot, it includes the entire user interface
4. Install Factorio 0.12.34.
5. In console type: /c game.take_screenshot{show_gui=true}
6. Look at the screenshot, it has no user interface.
I don't have access to any earlier 0.12 versions, so I can't pinpoint where it broke.

Ok, I do not have access to these old versions, but what you say is making sense.
So I hope this will be recorded as something to correct.

Why do you want the take_screenshot to include the player's GUI?
At best it could be made to include the local player's GUI that is calling the function. Other player's GUIs aren't available.

Yes that's exactly what I need. The local GUI of the player who is calling the function.

If show_gui is no longer supported, it should be removed from the documentation.

Because the contents of my hotbar or the minimap or some text previously printed to the console by a mod could be relevant to what I'm trying to illustrate with the screenshot.

the author of SSU (screenshot utility) confirms that something was changed...
viewtopic.php?f=92&t=17297&p=164529#p164529
it could be really nice to revert to previous behaviour.

To fix this problem I searched through all the changelogs and found no documentation on a change in this department, really weird. I have a feeling I already filed a bug report on this once, and that I did get a fix, but I can't find it.
