This also fixes "Harmless error dialog pops up when saving (82539)". Thank you.

While this bug was minor, I found it to be a major irritant.

Rolling stock entities can no longer have next_upgrade set.

And here i was hoping that property was a sneak peak of an upcoming feature to allow fast upgrading rolling stock.

Could an engineer please tell me why this was changed? this change does break several mods now...

Will you fix sounds? I still don't hear transport belts.

Did you make any changes to LuaControl.shooting_state? I don't see any mention of it in the changelog, but this code (still working with 0.18.18)

Code: Select all

        local shooter = (driver and driver.valid) and driver or passenger
        if shooter then
                shooter.shooting_state = {}
        end

results in

Code: Select all

Error while running event autodrive::on_tick (ID 0)
real number expected got nil.

with 0.18.19. I've fixed the crash with this change:

Code: Select all

        local shooter = (driver and driver.valid) and driver or passenger
        if shooter then
>>>                shooter.shooting_state.state = defines.shooting.not_shooting 	<<<
        end
