[0.12.x][0.12.4]Bob's Tech mod.

This is a simple tech extension mod.
It adds an upgraded lab, with science pack 4.
It also adds an alien research lab with assorted science packs if Enemies mod is detected.
This mod is pointless without some of my others mods to make use of the additional science packs.
Also included here is my Research Progress Saver mod. It adds a script to back up progress of any technology research in progress, so if it is changed, the research is saved, and can continue from this point when you switch back.

Hey bobingabout,
the tech save mod causes the game to error when trying to load a savegame that was saved with your mod in it. (Or in other words, if I load a savegame that didn't have techsave in it, it works, when loading a savegame with techsave, it crashes).
The error is:
Code: Select all
Unknown key:"Error while running the on_load: bobtechsave/control.lua:32: attempt to index global 'game' (a nil value)"
I am using my modpack:

Same here.
Does the on_load have game...?

It's even worse than it sounds, on_load doesn't actually even do anything, because the call passes a non-existant variable.

I will try troubleshooting whether the bug is because of an interaction with another mod.

It isn't, it's because I'm a derp and I messed up.
I'm just uploading the fixed version now.
Try again with the latest version, and if it still doesn't work, then try debugging.

No it isn't!
I'm trying to track down another issue that seems to have cropped up.

Just wondering, now that 0.14.8 includes "Technology progress is preverved when the research is changed before it is completed" as part of the base game, does this mean that the Research in Progress mod is now no longer required?

That's right. Assuming the functionality is correct, bobtechsave, AKA, Bob's Research progress saver, is no longer required. In fact, I'd recommend removing it because I can't predict how it will interact with the base game functionality.
I'm thinking of releasing an update that includes a < 0.14.8 tag, meaning if you use 0.14.8 or higher it should automatically be disabled.

Okay, thanks. I've removed it from my save and will see how it goes.

I must be blind because I can't find the tech which unlocks the upgraded lab that allows use of the dark blue science pack.

Advaned research, has an icon of a blue light bulb. Requires Logistics 3.

Aha! Thanks. The blue lightbulb icon threw me. I was looking for something that looked more like the lab, or maybe the science flask. [blush]

It's an old icon from the game before the 0.12 research graphics overhaul. I honestly can't remember what it was used for exactly, since it's been a while, but I think it was lab efficiency.
