[MOD 0.16 - 1.0] Realistic Electric Trains

[catsup8]

After updates for 1.1 made by @GeneralTank, I got this error



I used Vehicle Grid mod alongside RET. I restarted the game and during loading it crashes. Is it possible that there's some naming conflict?

There are some typos in his path code, not sure how it worked enough for him to release unless it only works if the original old mod is also installed?

Changes I made to fix it:
- In data.lua, change line 3 to

Code: Select all

mod = "Realistic_Electric_Trains_fix"

- In prototypes/entity.lua, change the paths in lines 209, 222, and 236 to remove the leading / character like so:

Code: Select all

graphics.."entities/locomotive/electric-locomotive"

Thanks for the help, now it is working. But, maybe on the second point you meant in prototypes/entity.lua ? I didn't find data.lua under prototypes directory

Yeah that's due to me trying to upload and having to change the name in the info.json. My version only changed the mod version number and the factorio version number.

Also I didn't have the Vehicle Grid enabled so that issue didn't pop up with me.

Edit: just fixed the info.json issue. The second fix doesn't appear to be needed.

after updating to version 1.1 I downloaded the latest version of RET mode, the poles can be seen that they are transmitting electricity but the trains do not receive it. if I want to demolish the pole, the game throws an error and falls into the main menu.What can I do about it

Hello everyone!
I'm happy to see that there is apparently someone who found the time to update my mod to the latest version.
However, I'd actually prefer if one of those authors (or multiple) took over my project and continued developing under the same name rather than creating 3(!) individual forks. This would be easier for other players to update and less confusing in the mod portal.
I did say from the beginning that I'd be open to hand the project over to someone else, but I never received any request. Therefore, I'm now quite puzzled to see three different forks on the mod portal.
To the guys who made those (@GeneralTank and others I assume): Did you consider asking to be made a contributor to the original project? I'd be glad to hand control over to you.

I asked if there was a way for me to upload my fix to the original mod. I ended upload my version so others can use it and ideally someone with more skill can use it to take over.

There is also two things I haven't completely figured out mostly due to lack to time. First is making the new graphics optional and secondly making a K2 compatibility mod for this mod.
