On Multiplayer Load, Register Table.

While this seems to work for the player who hosts, people who join don't seem to have this run. I am unsure how to do this properly.

            refresh_equipment()

on_configuration_changed
(edit: whoops, I didn't finish the reply yet.)

[Ranakastrasz]

I am using that. Am I using it wrongly, or what?

[Adil]

on_configuration_changed is supposed to be used for global alterations of game state, which is later sent to players in multiplayer, what do you expect it to do for people that connect?

[aubergine18]

I assume the duplicate code in OP is just a copy/paste typo?

What does the refresh_equipment() function do?

Also, if you just want to check something isn't nil, you don't need to specify `~= nil` so, for example, this

Code: Select all

if data.mod_changes ~= nil then ...

could be written as:

Code: Select all

if data.mod_changes then ...

(Unlike JavaScript, in Lua only nil and false are treated as false... 0, '' and anything else are treated as true)

[Nexela]

(Unlike JavaScript, in Lua only nil and false are treated as false... 0, '' and anything else are treated as true)

Including empty tables

table={}

if table then -- will be true

Yea, Typo. Meant to have the relevant functions there instead.

Aware of that. Habit from C++ and vJass.

Issue is that the table is not valid for the person who joins, implying it was never built by calling the function. It works in single player, fully, implying the table was built. Hence, the joining player's local verson of the table is missing. I'll get the error message, give me a minute.

Edit:
Same error as always when the table isn't there when I was getting it to work in the first place. Works for host, not for client.

Code: Select all

Error while running event on_tick (ID 0) __Modular-Armor__/control.lua: bad argument to #1 to 'ipairs' (table expected, got nil)

Code: Select all

                for x,equipmentData in ipairs(RanaMods.ModularArmor.equipmentData) do -- This line
                    if equipmentData.type == "fuelled" then
                        if not modularArmor.storedFuel[x] then
                            modularArmor.storedFuel[x] = 1
                        end
                    end
                end

[orzelek]

You might need to handle this event if you want to work per player:

Code: Select all

defines.events.on_player_joined_game

It seems that you should be able to do work for given player in there - no idea how will this play with desyncs.
Event also supplies player_index of joining player. There is also an event when player leaves.

[aubergine18]

Try using pairs instead of ipairs, the custom lazy instantiated tables that are regularly used in factorio don't support ipairs.

http://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaC ... ustomTable

[Ranakastrasz]

If that was the problem, I doubt it would work for the host player or in single player.

[Nexela]

Try using pairs instead of ipairs, the custom lazy instantiated tables that are regularly used in factorio don't support ipairs.

http://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaC ... ustomTable

That applies to some of the object tables returned from factorio. ipairs is still valid for iterating over consecutive indexed tables from mods



Rana send me over what you have so far and I will look over it tonight.

[Ranakastrasz]

Looking at the Wiki
https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?tit ... _Lifecycle
it says nothing about on configuration changed so is probably outdated.

However, migrations apperently only run for the person who hosts the game, not for any player who joins afterwards. I suspect that might be related to the issue.

Does on_load still work? And if so, would it work here?

[Nexela]

It depends on what you are doing.

I got everything organized now I just need to go through it all. I will let you know what I have come up with (but honestly seeing some of the stuff I am surprised it even ran in single player)

[Ranakastrasz]

That's what I said. It worked great before. Admittedly, I had the table hardcore before too.

Note the current EvoGUI remote interface only handles single player (new version in development that will allow multiplayer).

[Ranakastrasz]

Eh, I was experimenting with that for a bit. but I haven't actually gotten around to doing anything with it.

Also, Evogui remote seems to work in multiplayer for other mods that use it.

Eh, I was experimenting with that for a bit. but I haven't actually gotten around to doing anything with it.

Also, Evogui remote seems to work in multiplayer for other mods that use it.

It comes bundled with several internal sensors, which use a different API that handles multiplayer. As for external sensors, however, the current remote API doesn't provide any way for those to properly provide data for multiple players (they might still work, to an extent, but only for player 1). It's possible some mods manually add sensors without using the API (not recommended) to get around this limitation.

[Ranakastrasz]

Eh, Off topic. Anyhow, Replacing the event with on_load seems to have fixed it for all of my test cases. Single player. Single Player Loaded. Multiplayer. Multiplayer Loaded. Multiplayer Loaded, saved, Loaded.

Presumably I missed something and it will explode, but it is at least pretending to work again, so I am kinda happy.





Now I can go and try to poke those new-fangled equipment alteration events, as well as table manipulation and so on.
