Long description

Command control allows you to remotely view and manage parts of your factory.

It uses radars so it doesn't add any new items. When you walk up to a radar you will be presented with a GUI in the top left. This will contain a list of all the other radars, which you can click to enable remote viewing. When remote viewing you have a different inventory and cannot move the viewport away from the target radar. You can still interact with, construct and destroy objects.

This was originally part of my WIP mod, homeworld. It seemed useful in it's own right so I split it off.

Note, if you activate this mod on an existing map it will not have a list of existing radars. You need to destroy and re-place each radar you want on the network.

Hotfix incoming. I forgot to change one line of code.
Line 19 in control.lua should be 'global' instead of 'glob'.

Edit:
Re-uploaded. If you've already downloaded CC please re-download.

That's a neat concept, I'll give it a shot.

In regards to not showing previous radars on first use, would a migration script fix that?

Migration scripts are more for updating entity/item prototypes. As far as I'm aware there's no function to get a list of all entities in a game.

Hi OP, could you please use the template described here in your first post ? We're trying to formalise mod presentation on the forum so that information is easier to find.

Update to v1.0.3 - fixes a couple of bugs.

[TakeNapEveryday]

I'm trying this mod for the first time (1.0.3). Not sure if it's a bug or intended, but any items left in the radar (temporary) inventory are lost when you exit the command control menu.

That's intended, to stop from moving items between radars. In the next update I'll have the items spill onto the ground.

Game crashes when i went near to a radar.
It printed out an error that there cannot be any donor names in the radar. When the mod is removed it functions fine with donor names.

Im curious, but does the mod have any support for huge bases that contains over 100 radars?

The only thing limiting that atm is the clutter it would cause in the GUI. I'll have a go a making the GUI manageable for large bases.

I don't see why it wouldn't, however, once you have so much radars maybe it's a good idea to add a case insensitive search to the GUI so you can filter (ie, I have my radars for outposts named #COPPER: 1a, so I could search for #COPPER). FAT Controller has that.

You could also filter based on the string before the ":", so you'd have a list of different radar categories.

Version 1.1.0 released.

This release adds a search bar to filter radars. Radars are now sorted by their visit count, so radars you visit more frequently appear at the top of the list.

Factorio 0.12.1 fixed a bug that caused a crash while viewing a radar while crafting. In cc 1.1.0 you can now view a radar while crafting. (This does mean this version is not stable with factorio 0.12.0).

That is packed with rar....

[ljdp]

Ooops. I always unpack mods into the mod folder, didn't realise most people just leave the zipped version in there. I'll re-upload it zipped.

[billw]

On the latest version in MP.

On the latest version in MP.

Thanks, should be fixed in latest patch.

Will it work with modded radars?

[ljdp]

Will it work with modded radars?

Should do, if you're just changing the prototype of the vanilla radar. But it won't work on entirely new radar prototypes (with a different entity name).

Sad, i wanted to try.
