[0.11.22] Recipe Clipboard [WIP/First]

[leflings]

Hi guys

This is my first attempt at a mod, so any criticism/advice on improvements are welcome

Project homepage: https://github.com/leflings/RecipeClipboard

The homepage contains a more detailed readme.

Recipe Clipboard adds the ability to

[*] Copy the ingredient list and count from any assembling machine (or anything with a recipe configured)
[*] Copy the product item from any assembling machine
[*] Paste ingredient list and count to logistic chest
[*] Paste recipe product item to any smart capable inserter

This is awesome! Wanted something like this for a long time. Keep up the good work, I will definitely be using this.

Nice one, but how about including the zip for download

Or i'm supposed do run over to git

[MagicLegend]

Looks really cool! This is something that should be in the basegame!

Ps. I'll test this mod with Dytech for you

Wait... what'S the difference to Shift+LeftClick/Shift+RightcCick?

[Takezu]

Shift click works only if the entitys are the same, means from chest to hest or chem plant to chemplant, this works from assembler to requester chest and alike.

THat is because this is a single player mod :/!
THOUGH it should be possible to make it multiplayer compatible at the very least (atleast so 1 player can use it) !
Putting up a fix for you:
Do note that the only thing i did was to change:
game.player. to --> game.players[1].
Now how to make it work with all the players in a multiplayer game you will need to make it check which player it was that did it! Hence the talk about the for loop down under:

Code: Select all

game.onevent(defines.events.ontick,
  function(e)
  --Now i havent read through the code but adding a for i = 1, numPlayers on do 
  --loop you should be able to make it possible to use this mod with more than just 1 player! Remember to change
  --the 1 with i as players[1] Just means player number 1 in a multiplayer game OR the player in singleplayer so it works even
  --In singleplayer!
    if game.players[1].opened then
      if pcall(function() return game.players[1].opened.recipe end) then
        if not getBtn('copyButton') then
          dbg('+ Copy button')
          createButton('Copy Build Requirements', 'copyButton')
        end
      elseif game.players[1].opened.name == 'logistic-chest-requester' then
        if not getBtn('pasteButton') then
          dbg(' + Paste Button')
           createButton('Paste Build Requirements', 'pasteButton')
        end
      elseif game.players[1].opened.type == 'inserter' then
        if not getBtn('pasteButton') then
          if string.find(game.players[1].opened.name, "smart") then
            createButton('Paste Build Requirements', 'pasteButton')
          end
        end
      end
    else
      if getBtn('copyButton') then
        dbg(' - Copy Button')
        getBtn('copyButton').destroy()
      end
      if getBtn('pasteButton')  then
        dbg(' - Paste Button')
          getBtn('pasteButton').destroy()
      end
    end
  end)

If you want to make it compatible with multiplayer I think there is a player index in the event object. I know for sure that player created event carries it.

Hey guys

Thanks for the kind words.

Yeah, in this initial release, I did nothing to enable multiplayer, because I have never tried it. From what I can tell, and others are writing, it would be a small deal to add in support for. Sadly, this releasing this mod, I've barely had time to play Factorio myself, much less do further development on the mod. And it will be another week before I'm back from vacation, to look at these things again.

I think when you save it it should be saved in a table like this: date = table[playerNumb][1]
Then when it pastes it reades, who clicked the button and put the player number in the table:
paste = table[player1][1]
