Bob mods for 0.12 General Topic.

bobingabout · Post by **bobingabout** » Thu Oct 15, 2015 11:00 am

I didn't write the translations for German, or Russian myself, but it's worth getting the devs to take a look at it. (See if it's the mod, the game, etc)

Do you know what mods are effected?

I updated game to 0.12.11 and lost locale from most of mods - plates, ores and power at least have missing locale keys in english.

Sounds like an issue with 0.12.11.... best read the changelog see if it's an issue on their side or mine.

EDIT: Yeah, I tried to update my game, and it won't let me, I'm still stuck on 0.12.9 (Obviously they didn't fix the 0.12.10 update issues people were having)

so, testing will be delayed.

EDIT2: Tested a few things. It looks like there is a change that isn't mentioned. the locale file now has to be the same name as the mod.

Temporary DIY fix: (Extract the mod if you're using it in the zip file then) Open the mod's locale/en (And de or ru if you use those languages) and rename the locale file from names.cfg to the mod's name, EG boblogistics.cfg for my logistics mod.

This should fix the issue.

I decided today is updates day.

I renamed the locale files for the mods I've updated today, so some of the locale errors introduced in 0.12.11 should go away, but not all.

I'm getting Unknown key: "autoplace-controll-names.bauxite-ore" etc for all bob's mods item names in factorio 0.12.11.

Is anyone else running into this issue?

It's a known issue with Factorio 0.12.11.

It only happens if you run out of zip files. if you extract these into folders instead it fixes the issue.

Pixel Fusion · Post by **Pixel Fusion** » Fri Oct 23, 2015 8:07 am

I'm getting a _boblibrary_/recipe-functions.lua:4 attempt to index field ' ? ' (a nil value).

Using Factorio version 0.12.12
bobassembly 12.6
bobconfig 12.1
bobelectronics 12.5
boblibrary 12.2
boblogistics 12.7
bobmining 12.3
bobmodules 12.8
bobores 12.6
bobplates 12.9
bobpower 12.6
bobtech 12.3
bobwarfare 12.8

*edit* Looks like there's some kind of conflict with Yuoki-engines 0.1.7, game loads up fine if i remove that mod

bobingabout · Post by **bobingabout** » Fri Oct 23, 2015 11:27 am

One of the unfortunate things about the library mod is that the error becomes a little less useful. in fact the error you reported is almost useless to me

could you list any other lines in the error message ,or perhaps even provide a screenshot?

Though, what I can gather from the line is that there's a recipe issue somewhere, most likely youki changes something, or disabled something that one of my mods is trying to reference.

I suppose I could adjust the library so that if something doesn't exist it just fails and drops out instead of crashing.

dammit, can't start the Game cause this keeps showing up.

I don't know that much about Lua (i'm happy that i can make my own mods) but i know that the File it's searching for does not exist... for whatever reason.
so, what's the Problem?

Pixel Fusion · Post by **Pixel Fusion** » Fri Oct 23, 2015 7:04 pm

Thats the only error that pops up when attempting to start up factorio. I checked YI engines thread and it seems that 0.1.6 version works (with script.on edits), but when he added/changed some recipes for 0.1.7 that error comes up.

bobingabout · Post by **bobingabout** » Fri Oct 23, 2015 7:37 pm

The file bobplates/prototypes/category.lua should exist. if it doesn't, try redownloading the mod.

As for Yuoki, I'll try to make time to take a look at that.

Pixel Fusion · Post by **Pixel Fusion** » Fri Oct 23, 2015 8:08 pm

Thanks! Your mods are awesome btw.

I hate it when it's to Simple to solve a problem, but i have to say... i was an Idiot for not Trying to FIRST redownload the mod (that's like on of the First rules of Modding/Mod using) before saying something on the Thread.

I have to thank you. it works now, kinda...

and no, redownloading does not work, i tried that.

bobingabout · Post by **bobingabout** » Fri Oct 23, 2015 8:24 pm

The first one... what the hell? Why is that migration script even still in there?
If you want the new ores to apear on an old game manually run this command
/c remote.call("bobores", "Regenerate")

The second error.... it is trying to access something that doesn't exist in my mods anymore, and I'm not sure why.... I'm not even sure what mod calls that on line 24, all my mods that call it call it on line 1 if they do.

basically, just ignore it, it should work fine anyway.

uselessness for the win!

Don't worry about it, at least you managed to point out an errored migration script for me!

EDIT: Sigh well as sometimes happens i get the answer myself after and only after trying my best to find it on my own then asking the question. I was working under 2 wrong assumptions. 1: I thought the first download on the top of the factorio website was the latest version. You actually have to dig down a page or 2 before you get to the version of factorio that's compatable with bobs mods. 2: That the game would update to the latest version. Someone should sticky that somewhere because it seems obvious to everyone except the newcomers like me.

P.S. Here goes my first bobs mods campaign. To those who don't know me I have not had factrio for very long. I have played a little vanilla but i'm kind of skipping it. I'm a mod fanatic i just love what the modding community adds because its like I buy the game and then look around and get a whole lot of other neat stuff to play with in my game its a whole community created expansion

Ok please forgive me i have a noobish question. Im not new to the modding scene but i am new to how to install factorio mods. I have tried to get Bobs mods to work but im kind of stuck. Im using the latest version of factorio and all bobs mods show as red and missing dependency's even though i have installed all of them. One of the dependancies for the mods seems according to what i can figure out to be 0.12 and i have 0.11.22 which i tried updating but that did not fix the problem. I have a mining drill licence for the game so i dont know why it seems i have an earlier version of the game when i update than what is needed for playing with your mods. I also tried to look around before asking this question too so im sry if this is a question thats been answerd before but if anyone could point me in the right direction i would really appreciate it.

the latest version of bob's mods use the experimental releases of factorio

bobingabout · Post by **bobingabout** » Sun Oct 25, 2015 1:22 pm

Also, if you did specifically want to use the stable, there is a "[0.11.x]Bob's mods: one stop. " page, this holds the download links for the latest versions that I had before 0.12 came out.

But, yes, latest factorio is "Experimental", and when you click on the downloads page, you then have to click experimental.
Also, when you're in the game, you need to go into the options and turn on the Experimental Updates option.
