Foreman 0.1.9 - A factory optimisation tool.

Blackence · Post by **Blackence** » Sun Dec 14, 2014 9:03 pm

$ ./FactorioLoader.lua /home/xxx/factorio/data/base/

This runs for a very long time, but never prints anything to stdout. The stacktrace when ctrl+c-ing the script after a few seconds indicates that it's at "./library/loader/loader.lua:98". Maybe an infinite loop, or is it really that slow?

Anyway, the good news is that I managed to add compatibility lua code to Foreman, so now it works for me. I also added support for the new zip-file mod format. I want to publish the source code somewhere and test if it works on windows, then I can post an updated version here.

Edit/Update: I've verified that the Foreman.exe file works on Windows for Factorio 0.11.6 after adding a fix for a long-standing bug that Nicksaurus fixed a long time ago, but I forgot to do the same in my source copy. I have not tested if it still works after downloading a zip file mod. It might crash because it can't find SharpZipLib. See attachment.

For Ubuntu Trusty, I've uploaded a new package earlier today. That one should work with zip file mods, at least it works for me. Maybe you need apt-get dist-upgrade instead of apt-get upgrade.

Almost forgot this: The code for this updated version is now at github: https://github.com/w-flo/Foreman

Interesting. Well, the "base"-mode searches for it's dependencies, which is "core". It reads the info.json-file to solve those conflicts. I haven't built in a check for this kind of endless loop yet.

This lib (loader.lua, see link) is thought so, that you can use it in any lua-program, it just needs the base directories as base params and it will fill the global data-array for you. The FactorioLoader.lua itself is just a wrapper, which does the xml, json and other output, so that you can see, how must be used.

So use instead

Code: Select all

$ ./FactorioLoader.lua /home/xxx/factorio/data/base/ /home/xxx/factorio/data/core/

(or the other way around) and it should work as expected.

I will make a fix for that (https://github.com/alexaulbach/Factorio ... loader.lua around line 100), so that it uses a counter and throws useful error messages.

Nice to hear that.

any idea why it crashes with factorio 11.8 and with 10.X works fine - or only my factorio-version with mods ?

just my 2 cents but the entity lua files that it are not loading might be because they may need to be loaded after the core game files.

quick scan of the thread and I didn't see anyone reporting it already, apologies if I missed it.

Trying to run the app crashes with a .net exception "Could not find a part of the path [...]" where the path is in ~AppData\Roaming. I'm using the portable version of factorio (the .zip rather than .exe download), so there is no factorio directory in AppData on my system, which is probably the problem.

Nicksaurus · Post by **Nicksaurus** » Sat Jan 31, 2015 9:23 pm

Right. I'm releasing a new version. Sorry about the delay (I wish I had an excuse for abandoning the project for 4 months, but I don't. Sorry).

This should be fixed in the new version (I say 'should' because I haven't actually tested it with the zip package).

Nemoricus · Post by **Nemoricus** » Sun Feb 01, 2015 8:52 am

How can I tell the program to look for directories other than the Program Files one? I'm using the .zip downloads for Factorio now, and I can't tell the 1.6 version of Foreman to use those directories instead.

So you have one installation in program files and one in the zip location? Yeah, currently it only asks you which directory to use if it can't find one in program files.

It's inconvenient, but the workaround until I add an option to change it manually is just to delete or rename the factorio directory in program files. Sorry. (It's on the list though!)

The code that reads the game data files is pretty broken at the moment. Fortunately, there's a fixed version on my computer that I'll be uploading soon.

Hmm... did you install the x86 or x64 version? x86 is the one you need (sorry for not specifying that, if that's the issue).

First, you should probably try the version I just uploaded though, since it makes some improvements to the lua code.

Post by **Koub** » Tue Feb 03, 2015 9:29 pm

Just tried with 1.7, exactly the same behaviour.

Of course, I installed the x64 version of the Visual C++ 2012 redistribuable

.
I'm downloading the x86 version, and I'll tell you what as soon as it's installed.

[Edit] That was it : Visual C++ 2012 x86 redist seems to be a prerequisite. Thanks a lot

.

Maybe would it be useful to add it in your initial post, so that other people know it's a prerequisite ^^.
