• Version 0.5.1 (No Breaking Changes)
  • Fixed Event registry not notifying of an error in an event handler when the game was loaded, but no players were connected to the game
  • Note: Thanks to mojo2012 for the bug report

I still haven't learned the rest of your library yet, but it will do for now.

Code: Select all

At any rate, fixed.

Added Tile.adjacent, given a tile, returns a list of adjacent tile positions (N, E, S, W) or (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW), depending if diagonal tiles are specified.

I thought (and it's my current opinion), that Factorio uses fixed floating point numbers (8 bits). Which means in general, one tile has up to 256 positions in X and Y direction. That is a much lesser accuracy than lua floating point.

Well, I haven't calculated anything through, it's just a thought.

Here's some test code that seems to be not working?

Code: Select all

function test()
  print("test")
end

Gui.Event.register (defines.events.on_player_armor_inventory_changed, "top", test)

Looking through the stdlib's source code, I am not clear on how the game check for events being pinged? Though Gui.Event.dispatch?

Gui.on_click("my_cool_gui_element_name", function(event)
   .. 
  do something cool here
end)

Well, with the exception that print-force, print-surface, and print-all are now integrated into the base game, so there's no longer a need for the StdLib versions.

• Fixed documentation for Entity.to_collision_area
• Fixed documentation for Area.to_table
• Changed Game.print_all to print to offline players (fixes https://github.com/Afforess/Factorio-Stdlib/issues/49)
• Deprecated Game.print_force (use force.print instead)
• Deprecated Game.print_surface (use surface.print instead)
• Deprecated Area.area, due to misleading name. (use Area.size instead)
• Added Area.adjust, modifies area to ensure x,y coordinate values are normalized
• Added Area.construct, creates an area from two pairs of x,y coordinates
• Added Area.size, replaces the deprecated function, Area.area.
• Added Position.copy, creates a copy of a position
• Added Position.construct, creates a position from an x,y pair
• Added table.find, searches a table for the first element that matches the function
• Added table.any, searches a table and returns true if any elements matches the function
• Added Trains module, providing train utility methods and events:
  • Added Trains.set_data, sets persistent mod data on a train
  • Added Trains.get_data, gets mod data on a train
  • Added Trains.on_train_id_changed event, contains the old and new id of the train, and fires when a train id changes (e.g. locomotives are added to an existing train)
  • Added Trains.find_filtered, searches and returns a table of trains on surface(s) for trains that match the area, name, or state criteria
  • Added Trains.get_train_id, returns the train id of a train
  • Added Trains.get_main_locomotive, finds and returns the main locomotive entity of any train
• Added Time-based events, require 'stdlib/event/time' to enable them, then register the events to script them.
  • Event.Time.sunset, fires an event when sunset occurs for a surface
  • Event.Time.sunrise, fires an event when sunrise occurs for a surface
  • Event.Time.midday, fires an event noon occurs for a surface
  • Event.Time.midnight, fires an event when midnight occurs for a surface
  • Event.Time.minutely, fires an event when an in-game minute passes
  • Event.Time.hourly, fires an event when an in-game hour passes
  • Event.Time.daily, fires an event when an in-game day passes
• Added Config system, for easier management of persistent mod configuration
  • Added Config.new, ex: Config.new(global.config) creates a new configuration, stored at global.config
  • Added config.set, allows setting a value at nested paths, ex: (Config.new(global.config).set("your.path.here", foo)
  • Added config.get, allows getting nested values, ex: (Config.new(global.config).get("your.path.here")
  • Added config.delete, deletes a value at a config path, ex: (Config.new(global.config).delete("your.path.here")
  • Added config.is_set, tests whether a config value is set or not, ex: (Config.new(global.config).is_set("your.path.here")
• Added a GUI event handler system. Multiple handlers for each event can be registered, using regex patterns to match element names.
