[MOD 0.15.x] The Fat Controller. Remote train manager 2.0.7

[FuryoftheStars]

I just updated FatController to 0.16, right now (Factorio 0.16.15) remote controlling trains doesn't work. This bug will be fixed in Factorio 0.16.16

Thank you!

Hi Choumiko,

something changed at 0.16.22 and i get this error:

Code: Select all

39.573 Mods to disable:Fehler beim Laden der Mods: Error while loading entity prototype "fatcontroller" (player): Key "enter_vehicle_distance" not found in property tree at ROOT.player.fatcontroller
Modifications: The Fat Controller › Bob's Assembling machines

Cu, steinio

It's the newly added PlayerPrototype::enter_vehicle_distance property. For some reason it's required, and will not be assigned a default value.

Edit: Rseding91 says he will add a default value. viewtopic.php?f=30&t=57415&p=340262#p340258

[aober93]

just added the line "enter_vehicle_distance = 1," in the prototypes/fatcontroller.lua by all the other properties for the time being

I've done the same, but using 0 instead.

I'm getting this error, too, on 0.16.22. I get the same message in aklesey1's link.
Strangely, I can turn Bob's Assemblers on without issue if Fat Controller is turned off first.

I went a little further and tried turning on Fat Controller without Bob's Assembly. Now, I get a similar error message except the conflict is with Bob's Electronics instead. After turning off Bob's Electronics, Fat Controller is all that remains in the subsequent error message and cannot be turned on by any means.

That error is already fixed if you are willing to unzip your mod and add a line. Read the last few posts.

It should also be fixed by 0.16.23, when it comes out.

Hi Choumiko,

I've noticed something wrong with the "show name" option. It doesn't seem to work. I tick the check box, but it doesn't do anything. Closing and re-opening the window shows the check box cleared again.

Hi,

there is a startup error due to today's update:
Error while loading prototype "fatcontroller" (player): Unknown flag "pushable"

Greetings, 8ZN

[aober93]

edit it out in "fatcontroller.lua" remove the pushable

[aober93]

This line here is causing heavy stutter every like 2 seconds on my recent map. Only this map tho, but its my biggest.

in trainlist.lua on line 210 in the current release
local records = (ti.train.schedule and ti.train.schedule.records and #ti.train.schedule.records > 0) and ti.train.schedule.records or false

I am not able to go deeper than that and dont know the purpose of it. I followed it down from a path that updates alarms. On the way down i figured this mod is hellishly nested. Just this path consumes around 90% of the script runtime, not counting the heavy stutter.

Any plans for .17? This mod is one of my required mods for starting a new save, it makes Factorio so much better.

[dgw]

Man, chill, it's been less than 10 hours since 0.17 dropped.

Try editing info.json yourself in the meantime.

I've never tried modding before, but this actually inspired me to try. Editing the json caused it to attempt to run, with a crash on start about the type "monolith" in TheFatController_3.0.4 > prototypes > style.lua at line 116. I can't find anything in any of the 17.0 - 17.4 patch notes about changing any of that stuff, so I'm not sure how to fix it. Anyone have any ideas?

[dgw]

With the GUI overhaul, a bunch of the mod UI is probably broken from using and/or extending styles that were edited or deleted. I'd expect that, actually, now that I think about it.

I guess the info.json trick won't help this mod… but this post regarding F.A.R.L. is encouraging. It means Choumiko is still around, at least.

Looks like Version 0.17.35 broke this mod.

[T-Blade]

Crash when loading (Bobs only crashes when loading together with this mod) edit: forgot to mention: version 17.35

[dgw]

The "player" entity type was renamed to "character" in 0.17.35, so it's probably an easy fix.

[Choumiko]

Fixed in the latest update.

The mod update from yesterday should already have worked with 0.17.34 and 0.17.35 (if i had guessed that they also renamed the icon )
