Rich Text in LTN stops?

[Poch]

Hello,

I just have a quick question : is there a way to remove the localized item name following the icon in console info messages ? They take so much place it gets confusion and keeps me from knowing what is happening quickly.

Here is an example :


I would like to remove the part in bracket that appears in green (the localized string).

I noticed by watching Nilaus youtube channel that he does not have this problem, here is how it looks for him :


It is much more compact and readable.

Does anyone have an idea how i could do that ?

Thanks

Hi,

using tags like:

Code: Select all

[item=iron-plate]

results in those mixed text messages.

using:

Code: Select all

[img=item/iron-plate]

will result in the icon without text

[Poch]

Yes it worked ! Thank you very much for the information, sir

I have noticed that LTN train stops do not support the new rich-text feature... is this something that's fixable?

LTN works fine with RT for me.

That's odd. I put the same text into an LTN stop as a normal stop and it wasn't working.

[Optera]

Be precise.
What did you use as stop name, what did you expect to happen, what did happen.

[evandy]

I went to take a screenshot for you... and it is now working, so I am very confused... but at least we can call this not-a-bug (for now).

Ok I also found the same error


Update:
I'm stupid and don't know who to rich text.

Code: Select all

[item=iron-plate] is not [img=item/iron-plate]

With v 1.1. now adding easy support for RT in names it looks like it will use the [item=] format not [img/item=] format. This makes the notices LTN posts rather verbose like the image posted my Monsignor.

Can we change the RT outputted by LTN messages only use the image only ( or at least make it an option ) ?

[Optera]

LTN will use the same format as in game chat.
If you want images only use the img= format when naming stops.

TL;DR

The rich text from the icon picker is ugly in LTN notifications

What ?

In the LTN notification shown, the first station tag was made with the icon picker, and looks like [item=copper-ore]. The second station tag is img=item.copper-ore (brackets omitted). I don't like seeing the green item links in the notifications.

Why ?

It makes the rich text generated by LTN, and possibly other mods, cleaner to look at.

[NotRexButCaesar]

No, please. If this is added, how will we differentiate between the different ones?

[mig5323]

I'll admit some icons are close in appearance. I envision a checkbox to let you choose if you want the item= version or the img= version.

[Koub] This is a LTN request I guess ?

Not really an LTN issue. That's simply how chat parses rich text.
Since you moved it into LTN Subforum I'll merge it with an older thread explaining how to use rich text.

Since I cant find my post about converting tags in console anymore here it is again:

Code: Select all

/c
local stops = game.surfaces["nauvis"].find_entities_filtered{type="train-stop"}
for _, stop in pairs(stops) do
stop.backer_name = string.gsub(stop.backer_name, "item=", "img=item/")
stop.backer_name = string.gsub(stop.backer_name, "fluid=", "img=fluid/")
end

I assume stops are on nauvis, for other surfaces change script accordingly.

Is there any option to disable rich text gps (green text with map icon) for station names is chat messages?

[Optera]

Added for next release.

When displaying log messages, a station name containing an icon will show both the icon and the name of the icon in the notification.
If at all possible, it would be prettier if only the icon could be displayed.
An example of this is the following screencap:
