[0.10.x] and [0.11.x] Scrap Mod - now with recycling!

[bobingabout]

Or you could just release one mod with config options.
You can have config options at the top of your data.lua, or in a seperate config.lua file.

as a quick example, in my ores mod, I have this in a config.lua file

Code: Select all

-- if set to true, Nickel ore fields can spawn on maps. new maps will have autoplace control options.
EnableNickelOre=false

Right at the top of my data.lua file I have

Code: Select all

require("config")

And somewhere in my data file

Code: Select all

if EnableNickelOre == true then
  require("prototypes.nickel-ore")
end

Simple as that.

so, if for example, you did it all in just 2 files, 1 with the Recycler, and 1 with the scrap, you could have 2 config lines, then in the data lua do checks too.

Code: Select all

EnableScrap=true
EnableRecycler=true

...

if EnableScrap == true then
  require("prototypes.scrap")
end

if EnableRecycler == true then
  require("prototypes.recycler")
end

I havn't actually used your mod, but I'm guessing most of the scrap code, to work with ALL mods, is in data-final-fixes.lua rather than data.lua, the same principle applies.

This is a good idea, but there are seem to be a lot of people out there uncomfortable with editing code (in any capacity), so I will still publish both versions when I'm done.

Nah, when I 'updated' it to work with 0.11, I just quick fixed things. It's all still in data.lua, it just lists a giant heap of optional prerequisites to get (0.10) Factorio to prioritize it last.

I'll get around to a proper update soon, I swear!

Config options for SP are fine, but probably cause MP-Issues.
From my observations factorio only checks for enabled modnames & versions when starting/continuing a MP-game.

So if 2 people use the same mod and version, but different configs the game would start fine, but it will result in a desync sooner than later.

And because the player only receive the desync msg they probably won't figure out that the different configs are the root of the problem.

P.S. I haven't tested what happens when loading prototypes depending on config options, but at least that what's happening when parts of a control-script depend on config-options.

I know the feeling, some of my mods have lots of optional pre-requisites too, it stretchs the GUI to fit them all on in some cases. some of these could easilly be ommited if I used the new data-updates and data-final-fixes files instead.

What I release for 0.11.x was basically "Just to get it working", rather than a propper overhaul.

I don't know why but heres a long long long crash:
By the way I'm using 0.11.1.

Thanks! I'll look into it.

I'm getting a multiplayer desync that seems to be related to your mod.

Specifically, whenever an enemy destroys a building (or at least a gun turret, haven't lost anything else yet) it causes a desync.

Other then that this mod is awesome, thanks!

Factorio is throwing a massive error window containing scrapmod code. This started popping up after I added DyTech v13.3, using scrapmod v2.2

[Schmendrick]

I've been slacking on scrap mod.... but if you could get the factorio-current.log file to me with the error it would help.

hello buddy do you remember me from those livestreams?
btw during the past few versions i was unable to use this mod because it was having conflicts with some other mods but i dont know with what mods anyways i hope that you can fix it soon so i can use it again

[Tom_The_Hero1]

this is the error that i'm currently getting when i try to launch factorio with this mod:Error while loading entity prototype "recycling-machine" (furnace): No such node (crafting_catagories) Modifications: scrapmod

[Schmendrick]

Yes, I remember you.

I've been kind of burned out on Scrap Mod of late (well, of a lot of modding in general, which is why it took me months to make Magnet multiplayer compatible), and Scrap Mod is probably my most complicated mod, from a coding perspective. Of course, it's also the mod I'm most proud of, for the same reason, so I definitely intend on updating it and fixing its incompatibilities (it was written specifically to be compatible with just about any other mod - part of why it is complex - which makes its failure in this area a source of discouragement) at some point. The modding "bug" has bit me again recently, so hopefully I will get back to Scrap Mod soon.

I have taken note of all the error information people have posted in this thread and it will be useful when I do get to updating, so thank you to everyone (and please bear with me in patience. )

[Tom_The_Hero1]

anyways i will be looking at this page pretty often and once the mod is updated i will try if it is working again

[Tom_The_Hero1]

add me on steam(Tom_The_Hero1)then we can talk more often and then we can also play multyplayer together while i livestream it

[Tom_The_Hero1]

btw if you wanna test if it works in multyplayer i will help with that i'm able to run a 0.11.6 server so we can easly test it but please dont instadly make it work for multyplayer on 0.11.8 because whenever someone tries to connect to a 0.11.8 server people seem to crash

hmm I added scrapmod_0.2.2 to my factorio 11.3 but the recycler doesn't work. It always says can't smelt item. Any hints how to fix this?

Thank you

Scrap Mod will be getting an overhaul soon (I will be home from sabbatical this weekend), but if the recycler is saying can't smelt item, it's probably because the item is made from materials scrap mod didn't recognise when parsing recipes. What items won't smelt? Are they made from liquids? Any info on problems with scrap mod will help me make it better in the next version.

[Tom_The_Hero1]

kinda annoying that almost no mods work for multyplayer only like 4% works for multiplayer and due to that i have about noting to livestream with :/ btw schmendrick may i test the mod on multiplayer with you when the mod has been fixet :/

[Tom_The_Hero1]

why is it tking so long?
