[MOD 0.18] Orbital Ion Cannon 1.8.2

[judos]

Hi there,

Just wanted to try out the mod, but it contains an error in the code:

Code: Select all

Unknown key:"Error while running the on_init: __actuator__/control.lua:30: Error while running the event handler: __Orbital Ion Cannon__/control.lua:36: bad argument #1 to 'insert' (table expected, got nil)"

Code: Select all

script.on_event(defines.events.on_force_created, function(event)
	table.insert(global.forces_ion_cannon_table, event.force.name)
	global.forces_ion_cannon_table[event.force.name] = {}
end)

This function is actually called before your On_Load() is executed, because of the other mod. You can easily fix this by adding another call to On_Load() inside the event handler to make sure everything is setup.

Cheers!

Yep, true enough, the other mod creates a force in init, and the fix is as you describe. Thanks for the bug report.

Has anyone ever had the unfortunate experience of being caught in your own ion cannon blast? I know I have, and it wasn't fun.

Well, worry no more, for I've released a new mod that should make such an accident a thing of the past: the Satellite Uplink Station.
Now you can target your ion cannon(s) remotely, without having to physically be anywhere nearby!

[vanatteveldt]

These things are a blast! (sorry...)

I really like having something to pour resources in at the end (I don't care about sattelites), and clearing out bases with 10 ion cannons is sooo much fun . I'm getting good at slowing a bunch of biters, herding them, and timing the ion cannon to kill them (although behemoths aren't even killed directly - good think I have more ion cannons ).

This is what the combination of fixed biter rally points and ion cannons does:

boom

New version 1.0.7 is out, which should fix the bug judos reported earlier. Full changelog and download are in the first post like always.

Thanks for the translation, I'll include it in the next release.

Thanks for the translation, I'll include it in the next release.

And that release is now, version 1.0.8 is out with the Russian locale added and a performance optimization.

I think my request post was missed - viewtopic.php?f=93&t=17910&start=20#p120411
Any chance of some events for the ION cannon?

Edit - Thinking about it now.. I could just detect a rocket being launched and check that for an ioncannon. Wont be able to detect when one is fired, but should work for now.

I have a problem with this mod. After I load the game, the time to next strike is not moving. How to fix that?

Yes, you can already detect the launching of an ion cannon just fine. I have added a custom event, on_ion_cannon_fired, which can function just like other lua events (https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?title=Lua/Events).
In order to use this event in another mod, you should use the following code:

Code: Select all

script.on_event(remote.call("orbital_ion_cannon", "on_ion_cannon_fired"), function(event)
	...
end)

Where the ... can be any code of your choosing. The following variables are available when using this custom event:

Code: Select all

event.force				 The force whose ion cannon is firing
event.player_index		The player index of who fired the ion cannon
event.position			 The position the ion cannon is firing at

Feel free to request more variables or events if you have a need for them.

Yep, that's a bug with 1.0.8, thanks for the report; it's fixed in v1.0.9.

Hey, there seems to be an incompatibilty between this mod and Rail Tanker - Liquid transport. I cannot load my savegame when both are active at the same time.

I would love to haul lots of oil and strike stuffs with blasts right out of the sky at the same time.

Noice!

I like how you used a sound from "Might & Magic VI - The Mandate of Heaven" for entering the Uplink Station
And Eva of course

I actually took that sound from C&C: Red Alert... perhaps it just sounds similar? (It's the "Radar/Minimap Activated" sound if you're curious)

[Replicator]

Interesting^^
I could swear it's the same as in M&M6, but you made me curious now, since I never played the Red Alert games. I always stuck to the Tiberium games...all three of them
When I have the time I might just play both games and try to trigger and compare both sound effects, maybe I was wrong, but maybe I found a nice piece of trivia^^

That's rather odd, since that technology exists in the base game. Did you somehow... disable the Base mod or something?

I apologize. This is caused by Peacemod. It removes all the military techs
