[MOD 0.16] Vehicle Wagon 1.2.5

[Cyrlynx]

Cool, its doesn't crash anymore!
Thank you!

Have you thought about what I told you for the other thing?

Hi, I noticed you never overwrite the base wagon icon of the entities.
I'm using entity.icon to generate signals representing train composition in Logistic Train Network.

Right you are, I'll have this fixed for the next update.

Thanks for this really handy mod. It's very handy when exploring with RSO! However, I recently started using the awesome Bulldozer mod. This thing is incredibly handy for running rails through forests and it would be great if I could put it on a wagon on my expansion train. Can you add support for the bulldozer vehicle please?

Perhaps.... but you could just use FARL to run your rail lines through forests, don'tcha know?

Thanks for the tip! I've seen FARL, but I found it too cheaty at this point. I'll probably change my tune once I'm trying to lay track for days and days, but at least for now I want to build the tracks myself.

Umm.... Please?

Could you please add support for the AAI vehicles? I really like your mod

I've been looking into it, might be able to make that happen.

[Cornyne]

Please add the mod LJD Vehicles to your list of vehicles. This mod is really handy and I like it.

Unfortunately, the terms of the license for LJD Vehicles prevent me from adding Vehicle Wagon support for it:

Abandon:
If this Mod becomes abandoned, anyone may take up the task to update it to the current version. These updates may only be toward to goal of making it usable with the current version of factorio. Any other use of the mod code or resources is not allowed.
Learning:
This mod may be used to learn more about making mods but not used to make a mod for release.

I would need to edit the LJD Vehicles sprite sheet to make it compatible with Vehicle Wagon and add it to the mod bundle, which would violate the license terms.
You could talk to the mod author and see about having the license changed to something more permissive.

Any idea if/when you'll be releasing an 0.15 version? Or is this a "wait for stable release" situation?

I'm working one-at-a-time on updating mods for 0.15, and currently I'm working on Orbital Ion Cannon, which is shaping up to be a major, major update, so it'll take a while before I can get around to Vehicle Wagon here.

(Reposted because I didn't realize it had to be researched the first time)

For what it's worth, changing the version to 0.15 in info.json throws an error related to the winch entity prototype: "Max health must be positive". If I open entities.lua and change the winch's max health from 0 to 1, it almost works: I can research the tech, build a flatcar and winch, and get a car onto the flatcar. When I try to winch it off, the sound plays, then I get kicked out to the main menu with the error:

Code: Select all

Notice
Error while running event Vehicle Wagon::on_tick (ID 0)
LuaGameScript doesn't contain key raise_event.
stack traceback:
__Vehicle Wagon__/control.lua:150: in function <__Vehicle Wagon__/control.lua:102>

Also, the name of the tech and the two items appear in-game as:

Code: Select all

Unknown key:"technology-name.vehicle-wagons"
Unknown key:"entity-name.vehicle-wagon"
Unknown key:"entity-name.winch"

No pressure on Supercheese, I know you're busy. But if anyone who knows more about modding than I do has any suggestions, I'd be happy to poke at this some more.

The error can be fixed by replacing "game.raise_event" to "script.raise_event".
(Reason: the raise_event function is moved from the game object to the script object)

The lost locale can be fixed by eliminating the white spaces before and after "=" in the locale files.

Code: Select all

vehicle-wagon = You can use a ...

should be

Code: Select all

vehicle-wagon=You can use a ...

(Reason: Factorio no longer trim the white spaces)

(PM Supercheese with the updated version so he can upload it quickly? )

Been trying to fix the mod like this, but I have no idea where game.raise_event is.
Nevermind, found it. I'll see what happens
After discovering there was a lot of game.raise_event to change (3 files) I finally got it working, it seems. I'll PM supercheese.

Here's the link, may or may not corrupt save files, blow up all your trains and crash factorio. Probably works.

Nice, I'll review it when I next have time.

[timer67]

Is there any chance of you adding Angels to this supercheese

I love this mod, and i would love to be able to load my MCV onto my trains!

[Phasma Felis]

This works great for me, thanks so much! All you missed was the thing about removing whitespace to fix the in-game text, so I've done that and attached the result.

High fives to Supercheese, Mooncat, and Destroyer. Great teamwork, guys!

[Supercheese]

Thanks for the contributions guys, version 1.1.0 is now released. A new feature is blinking arrows that indicate which vehicle you have selected for winching -- try it out and see!
