[kovarex] [1.0.0] Replay: Show GUI checkbox doesn't do anything

[ShadowGlass]

No using any mods.

Unchecking the show GUI checkbox during a replay has no effect. The player GUI continues to be shown. It doesn't matter if the checkbox is changed during pause or unpaused replay.

Steps to recreate:

• Start a new game with the save replay option. Do stuff for a minute, open/close some gui windows.
• Save the game
• Load save as Replay
• Click on the Show GUI checkbox

That is weird, because I can't reproduce the problem. When I unclick show gui, the gui stops showing.

I've uninstalled Factorio
Deleted the steamapps/common/Factorio folder
Deleted the AppData/Roaming/Factorio folder for my user
Restarted computer
Re-installed Factorio

Issue is still happening.

Any other ideas of what I should try?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the functionality?

With the checkbox off, new GUI windows will not open, but existing windows don't disappear.
This also means that

• Toolbars, minimap, weapon bar is still visible
• Tooltips are still visible
• The cursor changes to whatever the player had in their cursor at the time (for example when placing entities), even though the replay cursor can be moved around freely.
• Handcrafting queue is still visible
• Various floating texts are still visible (mining, picking up/placing things)
• Console messages are still visible
• Some GUI sounds still play, even on invisible windows. Mostly I've noticed the opening entity-GUI sound (clicking on an assembler)
• If playing with mods, mod GUIs are still visible. Both the permanent toolbar-style GUI elements, and newly opened windows

I based my expectations on the how /c game.take_screenshot{show_gui=false} works, which doesn't show any of the above. So maybe it's just a misunderstanding.

yea, the Show Gui checkbox is there just to control the opening of the main screen guis, that is all.
