Sorry that this has taken so long... I've had a busy summer...
But here it is!

Can some one upgrade it to 0.16?

It is now updated to 0.16. Sorry for the wait!

Hi,

the latest version of factorio doesn't support the set_circuit_condition method on entities. So the output command crashs.

To fix that put the modified "output.lua" file into the mod zip and overwrite it:

Code: Select all

require("new_class")
output = {}

local output_mt = new_class(output)

function output:new(entity)
return setmetatable( {entity=entity}, output_mt)
end

function output:clear(output)
self.entity.get_or_create_control_behavior().parameters = {parameters={}}
end

-- function output:insert_count(type,name,count)
-- local condition = self.entity.get_circuit_condition(1)
-- local old_count = self.get_count(name)
-- self.set_count(type,name,count)
-- end

function output:get_count(name)
local condition = self.entity.get_or_create_control_behavior()

if condition.parameters.parameters[1].signal.name == nil then
    return 0
end

return condition.parameters.parameters[1].signal.count
end

function output:set_count(type,name,count)
local condition = self.entity.get_or_create_control_behavior()

local params = {parameters={
            {index=1,signal={type=type,name=name},count=count},
    }
}

self.entity.get_or_create_control_behavior().parameters = params
end

return output

Also i changed the script input field to multiline textbox

You need to alter the data.lua in the zip at end and replace gui-style tags:

Code: Select all

data.raw["gui-style"].default["wide_textbox_style_lua"] =
{
      type = "textfield_style",
      parent = "textfield",      	
}

Need to look how factorio handles scrollbars on gui

Simple 7 segment display using lamps to visualize numbers (in this case a simple counter)

Code: Select all

if state.interval == nil or state.interval >= 2 then
local mainentity = output.entity                                                                  
local disp = {}
disp[0] = {segments = {"A","B","C","D","E","F"} }
disp[1] = {segments = {"B","C"} }
disp[2] = { segments = {"A","B","G","D","E"} }
disp[3] = { segments = {"A","B","C","D","G"} }
disp[4] = { segments = {"C","F","G"} }
disp[5] = { segments = {"A","C","D","F","G"} }
disp[6] =  {segments = {"A","C","D","E","F","G"} }
disp[7] = {segments = {"A","B","C"} }
disp[8] = {segments = {"A","B","C","D","E","F","G"} }
disp[9] = {segments = {"A","B","C","D","F","G"} }

local params = {parameters={  } }

if state.a == nil or state.a >= 10 then state.a = 0 end

local i = 1
for bla,segment in pairs(disp[state.a].segments) do
  params.parameters[i] = { index=i,signal={type="virtual",name="signal-"..segment},count=1}  
  i = i + 1
end

local control = mainentity.get_or_create_control_behavior()
control.parameters = params;
state.a = state.a + 1
state.interval = 0
end
state.interval  = state.interval + 1

Note, Lua Combinator executes the script on repeat every 0.5 second. Thats why the the state.interval variable is used to change the counter every 1 second.

...edit...

You need to alter the data.lua in the zip at end and replace gui-style tags:

Code: Select all

data.raw["gui-style"].default["wide_textbox_style_lua"] =
{
      type = "textfield_style",
      parent = "textfield",      	
}

Your first change fixes the error message on screen when trying to set_count, thanks.

Your second change appears to have no effect. The code in the mod is:

Code: Select all

data.raw["gui-style"].default["wide_textbox_style_lua"] =
{
      type = "textfield_style",
      parent = "textfield",      
      minimal_width = 300,
      maximal_width = 300,  
}

Removing the minimal_width and maximal_width doesn't seem to do much. Did you make other changes?

I assume we need some sort of:
"text-box": A multi-line text box that supports selection and copy-paste.
https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaGuiElement.html
but I wasn't able to get it working as I have zero modding experience.

The only place I found a reference to wide_textbox_style_lua was in control.lua

Code: Select all

	lua_command = gui_or_new(command,"lua_command",{type="textfield", name="lua_command", text=lamp.command , style="wide_textbox_style_lua", parent="wide_textbox_style_lua"})

Lastly when the comparison in a newly placed combinator (no wires attached) is done vs anything or everything the game crashes.

Error while running event
LuaCombinator::on_tick (ID 0)
__LuaCombinator__/control.lua:226: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil)

I'm guessing this is needed:

Code: Select all

if network_r.signals ~= nil then

There also seems to be a minor mixup between r/g on line 230. I think that should be a network_g test.

Code: Select all

function banner(text,position,color,player)
	player.surface.create_entity{name="flying-text-banner_lua", position=position, text="Hello", color=color}
end

This seems like it should be:

Code: Select all

function banner(text,position,color,player)
	player.surface.create_entity{name="flying-text-banner_lua", position=position, text=text, color=color}
end

Otherwise the banner gets stuck on "Hello" permanently.
