Console question

[FreeER]

I've noticed that the console does not always show the full error: (I'm on a laptop and using win 64bit 2.10. screen resolution is 1366 x 768). I noticed this more with my testing install (because I use the console far more) which is the zip rather than the installation of factorio and starts in windowed mode and not fullscreen.

for example if I were to type

Code: Select all

game.createentity{name="stone-furnace",{0,0}}

the display shows:

Code: Select all

Cannot execute command. Error: [string "game.createentity{name="stone-furnace",{0,0})..."]:1: bad argument #-1

whereas if I make the window wider it shows more

Code: Select all

Cannot execute command. Error: [string "game.createentity{name="stone-furnace",{0,0})..."]:1: bad argument #-1 to 'createentity' (table expected, not nil)

I've also noticed that if I make the window 'height' smaller it displays more of the error.
also the console text is behind the 'in-hand' inventory on the right and the research menu (once it scrolls up).

If you'd like I can easily post pictures displaying what I mean

edit: also noticed that the console has a limit I can not type

Code: Select all

game.createentity{name="stone-furnace",position={x=game.getplayer().position.x,y=game.getplayer().position.y}}

because it stops at

Code: Select all

game.createentity{name="stone-furnace",position={x=game.getplayer().position.x,y=game.getplayer().po

I noticed this because I created a furnace at 0,0 right after starting and I got stuck inside the furnace, I wanted to test it again by using the player positon rather than 0,0.

about the console limit, you can "compress" the variables into smaller variables, for example, before typing it, you type

Code: Select all

x=game.getplayer().position.x

But that is annoying sometimes :S

Noted, we will try to do something with that.

thanks
Not a big problem but it would probably make things easier while debugging my lua
