LuaGuiElement::choose-elem-button.type = recipe, technology

[Bilka]

Make it possible to make the player choose a recipe or a technology using choose-elem-button, not just the existing types ( "item", "tile", "entity", or "signal") by adding the types recipe and technology.

i have stumbled on not being able to use recipes aswell and would like to use it.

When you say recipe/technology do you mean "all of the recipes the player has unlocked as they see in their crafting GUI" or do you mean "All recipes that exist in the game"? The same question for technologies.

[Bilka]

In my case, I meant all of them, I want to use the gui to unlock recipes (or technologies). My question here is how it is done for items. Showing everything allows me to code "invalid selections" so that i can simply remove un-unlocked (or already unlocked) recipes/technologies after the player selects them.

I don't include hidden ones in my definition of all of them.

I've added fluid and recipe support for 0.16 but technology is a little more complex.

Technology icons don't fit in the standard button size (32x32) meaning they're going to be near impossible to understand when squashed to fit or the button will be massive.

Thank you!

Would it be possible to use the left part of the normal technology gui as the gui to do the selections in? Then the fact that the button itself shows only a small graphic shouldn't matter too much. It's not too important to me though, I mostly cared about the recipes and would've used the technologies as a workaround.

I've used some sprite buttons with technology icons in a .14 mod (e.g. "technology/military") and even downscaled to 32² they looked just fine.
