Foreman 0.1.9 - A factory optimisation tool.

By Steam I meant the game. Mod portal. Not the manual download and move to folder.

For your second question. I'm not sure. My mods/saves are in my steam folder I think. I'll have to wait until I get home to check.

Post by **daniel34** » Wed Jul 13, 2016 9:38 am

The Steam version uses the appdata folder for mods/saves, I'm not sure it's even possible to change that. Also, unlike the website installer version, the steam version doesn't create any shortcuts to the mods/saves folder in the install directory (SteamApps\common\Factorio).

Sry, but how to use it? I installed the mod via ingame. I build a blueprint but i dont see any menu or anythign...?

PiggyWhiskey · Post by **PiggyWhiskey** » Thu Jul 14, 2016 12:09 am

This isn't the mod for in game. This is a similar named separate program. Download the zip from the first post and copy the files to your computer and run the program.

Using the exact same mods as you, I can get it running fine.

What recipe isn't working?
Is that a crash? Or just the error log logging stuff?

I seem to be having a similar issue as some others, especially with bob's mods. I'm running the latest version of foreman, and the whole suite of bob's mods including his library. It seems many of his recipes, especially his ores, and some in bob's plates don't work.

The following files could not be loaded due to errors:

I directed foreman to my mods directory, and factorio installation, and vanilla items, and non bob recipes seem to work fine. Though i frankly don't understand why it's looking in the local\temp folder, as that is NOT where my mods are stored. and i have it pointed to C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Roaming\factorio\mods. Here's what i see for example with sulfur dioxide.

i have problems finding directories :-(

on my old computer, i had the same or a very similar problem too, but finally could get Foreman to run properly. when it broke down and i had to install everything again on a new computer, i can no longer remember what i did and thus am stuck with an error message after selecting the factorio directory :

: stuck1.PNG (10.72 KiB) Viewed 10348 times

i use the steam version, thus have entered D:\myGames\STEAM\steamapps\common\Factorio as Factorio directory and C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\factorio\mods as mod directory (no mods installed)

i also have downloaded and installed the zip version from the factorio website, thus tried again with D:\myGames\Factorio\Factorio_0.13.11 as Factorio directory and D:\myGames\Factorio\Factorio_0.13.11\mods as mod directory (several mods installed) and got the same result.
(btw, "Factorio\Factorio" is correct: Factorio is a main directory to hold several different versions and also tools like Foreman, and the subdirectory is the unzipped zip version 0.13.11)

I even have tried specifying subdirectories like the bin directory where the factory.exe program is, but nothing helped and i always am shown the above error dialog.

edit: the mentioned lua52.dll is a Foreman file, located in the unzipped Foreman package, at D:\myGames\Factorio\Foreman 0.1.9.7

what did i miss ? how can i get to making the nice diagrams again ?

What follows is a bit of guesswork based upon the German error there. I don't know much (any) German but I've seen that same dialog many times in English as a developer. That and Google translate gives me this "The specified module could not be found". So I'm pretty sure I'm understanding the error correctly.

For future reference, when an error like that appears you can usually press Ctrl+C to copy the whole error message as text (to the clipboard). No screenshots needed.

That particular error doesn't really have anything to do with Factorio itself, but rather with Forman.exe not finding the extracted files.
It basically means that Foreman.exe cannot find lua52.dll. Why? I don't know. All files needed are included in the zip so all I can do is guess:

Possible solutions:

1: Did you actually extract the files from the zip or are you just trying to run Foreman.exe by itself? The default windows zip viewer makes zips look like directories and if you just tried to launch the exe from inside one of those zip directories it will only extract the exe you run, not the other files and thus you get that problem.
2: You made a shortcut to the exe and the working directory is wonky or something.

I suggest you re-dl the latest release. Extract all files to a new directory somewhere that doesn't have any spaces in it. Make sure lua52.dll is in that directory, then launch the exe from that new directory (no shortcuts, symlinks, lnk files, etc.).

Thats's great! I'm creating the same thing but with a different interface and some additional features, but didn't know how to get cache for lua tables - now I have the solution. Thank you very much! It's an excellent tool and example!

thanks for the answer, although it didn't help

(i already had done those and similar attempts before)

in the meantime, i have invested another few hours for research and seem to have fixed the problem now

the original/first post finally gave the solution. please note what i have marked in that quote:

Nicksaurus wrote:Update - Version 0.1.9 is here! Get it here!
Requirements:
.Net 4.0 or higher
Visual C++ 2012 x86
....
Finally, if you have any suggestions, bugs, untempered vitriol etc. post it here or on the issues page.

my computer is a two weeks old new computer with a fresh Windows10 install.
after checking the bug tracker again, i found three bug reports concerning the lua52.dll :
resolved #17, closed #20, and new #72.

Bug #17 gave a partial answer: Foreman needs the visual c++ runtime, and it has to be for version 2012, not for any other. but even after following those instructions, after downloading and installing that runtime, i still got the same crash report.

finally, i re-read the fine print in the original post again and again until i noticed that it mentions X86 ...

then i installed the X86 version of the 2012 runtime (on my x64 computer),
AND FOREMAN WORKS NOW !!!

it probably would be helpful if such specific requirements are needed, to either include everything in an installer, or explicitly include a big hint on exactly which versions are needed and where to get them.

the answer on bug report #17 only explicitly mentions version 2012, but not that it has to be the x86 version of the 2012 version (the link to the microsoft download in that answer allows the selection between x64, x86 and arm versions). that may also be the reason why report #20 was closed without further comments, and why someone posted the new bug report #72 (in which he states that he installed the runtime according to the other bug report without success).

Hi.

I just wanted to say that this is an absolutely brilliant tool, that finally made me understand how I should play Factorio.

You are a great person and I love you.

Thanks!

Foreman fails to load the recipes from bobplates 13.2 due to the require("pumps") line in prototypes/entities/entities.lua. The file pumps.lua does exist in the same folder, however. I'm not familiar with lua at all, so I'm not entirely sure how to fix this issue or why Factorio seems able to load the file correctly. Perhaps Factorio specifies the PATH environment variable before it attempts to load each mod file, whilst Foreman does not? As a test, I manually changed the line to require("prototype\\entities\\pumps") and it then proceeded to successfully load.

For reference, the mods I'm attempting to load are:

************** JIT-Debuggen **************
Um das JIT-Debuggen (Just-In-Time) zu aktivieren, muss in der
Konfigurationsdatei der Anwendung oder des Computers
(machine.config) der jitDebugging-Wert im Abschnitt system.windows.forms festgelegt werden.
Die Anwendung muss mit aktiviertem Debuggen kompiliert werden.

Zum Beispiel:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

Wenn das JIT-Debuggen aktiviert ist, werden alle nicht behandelten
Ausnahmen an den JIT-Debugger gesendet, der auf dem
Computer registriert ist, und nicht in diesem Dialogfeld behandelt.

~~Furthermore it shows only vanilla items...~~
I found out how to enable mods but now it crashes again.

Really sad, looked promising.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Redownload it again. You didn't extract a file.

Use this link https://bitbucket.org/Nicksaurus/foreman/downloads

You should see these files.

Downloaded from your supplied link, but the same result for version 1.9.9
I see al the mentioned files. I'm running windows 10 and I started the 'Foreman.exe' with administrator rights, but still the same result

Where are you placing the files? Try a desktop folder.
Are you placing all the files together in a folder? They all need to be in the same directory.
