Long description

Advanced Logistics System
The Advanced Logistics system is an essential tool to keep track of items within your logistics network, it will show you a detailed list of all the items within and outside your logistics network, and provide you with tools to manage, sort and filter that information.

The system keeps track of all the logistics and non logistics containers along with the items stored inside them, and will provide you with a list of those items, you can also take a closer look at each of the items and inspect where it's being stored.

The system also comes with some useful tools, such as utilizing robots to view the location of a container, or ordering your robots to deconstruct a container, there are also some experimental tools that can be enabled by the brave, these include teleportation and remote container upgrades.

Wow. I suspect this is going to be very popular.

EDIT: When clicking the back button for a chest outside of the network, I'm getting the following error:

Error while running the event handler: __advanced-logistics-system__/control.lua:796: Given entity doesn't exist anymore.

[FiFtHeLeMeNt]

This is great mod, cant wait to try it. Thanks OP.

Version 0.2.1 is up and should fix this issue, i couldn't really replicate it but the code to handle it was a bit choppy so i rewrote it, please test and let me know.

And hope you found the mod useful so far

[Xterminator]

This fantastic! Really surprised nos one has done this before now.
If you don't mind, I would like to do a mod spotlight on it. Very well done by the looks of it!

[Zequez]

This is really cool, I'm gonna try it!

I waited almost a year for someone to do it, eventually i though i'd just give it ago.. i think performance is a big concern for a mod like this and that's maybe what put people off doing it, hopefully this one runs good.. we will see

and sure would appreciate a spotlight.

:/ bah, just so fucking amazing

When I load my single player game I get the following error,

Error while running the event handler: __advanced-logistics-system__/control.lua:244: attempt to call global 'onLogisticsSearchTick' (a nil value)

This is a game that I have played for about 3 hours with your mod enabled in.

[Talguy]

When clicking a Radar on CommandControls(MOD) GUI, I'm getting this error:

Error while running the event handler: __advanced-logistics-system__/control.lua:217: attempt to index field 'character' (a nil value)

Maybe fix it like this?

Code: Select all

--- Checks if a player has a logistics system in his inventory
function playerHasSystem(player)
    return not not player and (
		player.character and player.character.name == "ls-controller" or 
		player.get_item_count("advanced-logistics-system") > 0
	)
end

I've found toggling the mod off, going in game, saving it, exit & toggle it back on, and then load the game again. It should get it playable, at least it works for me when it bugs out.

Thank you guys and sorry for the inconvenience, just pushed Version 0.2.2 which fixes both issues.

@Talguy didn't have a chance to test and replicate the issue but included your update as it is, loved the not not will look into the issue more later.

Yeah my bad, the issue was i was initializing the search update/check functions inside the search field gui click handler, which was obviously stupid. now they are moved as a standalone functions and are being passed the player index alongside the ontick event object.

should be all working fine now with v0.2.2, sorry again for the inconvenience.

[LordOOTFD]

The update fixed it right away, thanks!

So far your mod has been quite handy as my factory is a convoluted mess right now, thanks for the great mod!

No worries. Just wanted him to know the save wad not lost. Really nice mod, I'll be using it my videos for sure.

[Thyrann]

Thanks soooo much for this mod. Its something I was looking for for a long time. Just perfect.

i'm not sure i understand what you mean, but you have 236 logistics chests that are not part of the logistics network, you can view where they are and fix the issue by extending your network to where they are if you need to.

if you are referring to a bug with the logistics network check code, then i'll probably need more info, are you using mods that add custom roboports? if so what are they?

[Damrus]

I get this Error every time I try to remove a normal roboport

Please help ;p


edit:

O and this one now too. When i open the menu.

Used to only have an error when I opened the "Normal items" tab, but kind of ignored that one. (sorry, I should have noted it down too).

O well. Hope this helps or that its just me being a dummy

Very big thanks! I use robopots from DyTech. It would be nice if you add them to your mod.
