[MOD 0.12.x] Blueprint Flipper - mirror your blueprints!

Post by Roktaal »

Blueprint Flipper
Original thread: viewtopic.php?f=92&t=15152
With blessing from original author GopherAtl I am continuing maintenance and updating of this mod.

Image

Info:
Adds a pair of small gui buttons that you can click on while holding a blueprint to mirror that blueprint, horizontally or vertically.

That's... well, pretty much it. Isn't that enough?

Thanks for this mod. I found it quite useful.

But, I encountered a minor problem.
I don't know if it is something that can be fixed though.

I did a vertical flip of a blue print and placed it. It didn't complete before the 5 mins were up (ran out of items) so after getting the needed items I tried placing it again over top of the original stuff to complete it. Everything was green but it wouldn't place.

Turned out I had to remove all the power poles that were placed from the first attempt before the 2nd attempt would work.

Could you copy/paste that blueprint (Using Foreman or Blueprint string) here so I can take a look

How do I get a blueprint string?

Don't have the original any more, but will make a new one of the area and see if it will happen again.

You can export your blueprint with Foreman or Blueprint string

Sorry for taking so long.
I had forgotten about this topic after making that first post then wasn't in that area of my factory for quite a while

Exported the blueprint via Foreman

Doesn't appear to be a problem with this mod. I managed, using your blueprint, to flip it horizontally, place it, building it till I ran out of components, waiting for ghosts to run out and then placing the blueprint again on top of half built factory, without problems. Really don't know what is the problem at your side.

Heya,

Keep getting an error when trying to flip a blueprint that contains only Concrete/Stone flooring.

"Error while running the event handler:
__blueprint_flipper__/contol.lua:7: attempt to get length of local 'ents' (a nil value)"

I'm sure it's because when getting a blueprint of flooring, you cannot have any entities otherwise it copies them and not the flooring.
Any possibility of adding a way to cope with floor-only blueprints?

Maybe it was just a random bug then.
I figured it was because the first half of poles that were placed got lines placed between them and then trying to place the 2nd one over top resulted in the lines conflicting.

Thanks for the report.
Version 0.1.3 out with the fix. Now it's possible to flip blueprints with tiles.

Don't think lines and poles were the problem. When I tried I also had some poles connected

There's a long running bug I've been meaning to report:

Flipping a blueprint with storage tanks in it does not correctly rotate the tanks, it appears tanks are not rotated at all when the blueprint is flipped. This causes the tanks to no longer connect with pipes/other components in a flipped blueprint. I believe the solution is as simple as always rotating tanks when a blueprint is flipped since I can always fix the setup by manually rotating each tank. The issue is probably related to the only two rotation states of tanks.

Hey, I recently updated to the newest version of the mod from an older version, and the mod works great for new maps, but on my existing save I get this:

The normal buttons work, but there are extra buttons in text for flipping vertically and horizontally. Is there a way to migrate or something to use this mod with an existing save without the extra buttons?

I'll put it on a "to do" list for the next update since it's not game breaking.
Meanwhile you can:
Method 1: Remove the mod, open your save game and save it again and then put back the mod.
Method 2: Type in console

Code: Select all

/c game.players[1].gui.top.blueprint_flipper_flow.destroy()

Can you hide the gui until you have researched "automated-construction" please?
