[MOD 0.12.x, 0.11.17+] Radar 2.0

[Telarin]

If I add this mod in, I get the following error when attempting to start a new game or load an old save game:

__radar-two__/control.lua:33: attempt to index global 'game' (a nil value).

This is under version 0.12.17

I got the same message as telarin, please fix :c

[Boogieman14]

Open control.lua, search "game.on_", replace with "script.on_"

[HeilTec]

Done that - and it seems to work.

Bumped version one notch.

The security-camera is a very nice extra, but it needed a migration script.

secutity-camera_0.1.1.lua

Code: Select all

for i, force in pairs(game.forces) do 
 force.reset_technologies()
end

for i, force in pairs(game.forces) do 
 force.reset_recipes()
end

for i, force in pairs(game.forces) do 
 if force.technologies["optics"].researched then 
   force.recipes["security-camera"].enabled = true
 end
end

Many times mods still work, so the post is still valid -- basically reports that it is not working. Wish the author was around though, this is invaluable with RSO

I'm still around, I'm just... not spending much time with Factorio stuff these days. I want to give the numbers a rework, so whenever I get around to doing that I'll put out a current-Factorio-compatible version.

I fixed this mod, just go in and replace the Control.lua in the mod folder with this one I added as an attachment

EDIT: SORRY! uploading wrong one, fixing now.

I think the tactical radar should have a smaller area that is constantly updated, and a bigger fringe that it should scan rapidly. For instance if its instant scan range was reduced by 2 chunks, so it had a 3-chunk border cycle scan range, it could be given a very short cycle time, like 1 second, so that over time it still gets that area scanned, but doesn't do it instantly.

The reason I think this is important is because I found I could explore a lot of the map by plopping down a tactical radar and powering it with one solar panel. It seemed too easy, the radar seemed too powerful.
