Remove the without satellite message

[LuziferSenpai]

Is it possible to remove the without satellite message? Because it doesnt make fun, when you using Orbital Ion Cannon MOD and Launch Control and get every 10 sec this Message and you need to TAB.

The message is in control.lua of the freeplay scenario.
If doing things by hand, you'd need to edit the /data/base/scenarios/freeplay/control.lua, for example, replace the line 43

Code: Select all

game.show_message_dialog{text = {"gui-rocket-silo.rocket-launched-without-satellite"}}

to

Code: Select all

game.players[1].print({"gui-rocket-silo.rocket-launched-without-satellite"})

However, there's no simple way of doing so along the style of the current modding paradigm (i.e. all is done within mod folder).
The closest solution is defining alternative freeplay scenario, but then you'd need to start the game in that scenario from the very beginning.

Maybe if devs add a remote interface to the freeplay scenario? That way players and even mods could disable that message without needing to edit the mod.

That will be cool

I know, but i dont want to edit the Base Game. This is why i was thinking like ages that they need to make that Message so, that you can add new satellites.

play in Multiplayer it doesnt freeze the game and you don't have to tab out of it

A remote interface was added in one of the recent 0.14 versions.

Eh? I don't see it in: Factorio\data\base\scenarios\freeplay\control.lua

Am I missing something?

Yeah that's not in my copy of that file at all. Guess I need to reinstall...

Are you sure that code has been added to the right release branch? I just re-downloaded: https://www.factorio.com/get-download/0 ... n64-manual

Within the archive, Factorio_0.14.14\data\base\scenarios\freeplay\control.lua is the following: http://pastebin.com/VmPppUBN

Hmm.. for some reason I thought it was put into 0.14. I guess not.. anyway it's in 0.15 for sure.

What's the grand reasoning for spawning the message dialog at all in the first place?
