easy to repeat, just try to change anything on the forcefield, or remove it, it crash the game

Just fix it by youself, in "control.lua" (s.862) just wrap that compare in two checks: There is another bug - purple field will throw an exception when destroyed, but it can be fixed by removing in beginning of the same file. That removes main feature of purple fields, but prevent further exceptions.

Code: Select all

if field.health ~= nil then
	if forcefieldTypes[field.name]["maxHealth"] ~= nil then
		if field.health >= forcefieldTypes[field.name]["maxHealth"] then
			  table.remove(emitterTable["generating-fields"], k)
		end
	end
end

That won't fix the real bug. That just suppresses it.

I'll look into both of these and get them fixed hopefully tonight.

Hey guys, since the author hasn't responded yet, I figured out what was causing the simple crashes. He forgot to include the max health value in the tables.

Here is a quick fix version.

Force Fields_1.0.4 crashfix

They're meant to get populated automatically from the in-game values for those entities. Sorry about not updating this yet - I've been super busy recently.

Sorry about the long no-update. I fixed all of the outstanding issues.

I'm getting an error in control.lua on line 788, attempting to index a nil value. I'm not entirely sure what's causing this to trigger in-game, as sometimes it'll happen as soon as I put down an emitter, sometime it won't happen for a few minutes afterwards.

Same, I'm also noticing that the original post has not been updated since 2014, has the file in the download link been updated?

It has, I'm not sure why it doesn't show the correct edit date...

I believe I've fixed the error above and I've updated the download and version again.

Try changing some text in the first post as well (just add a space or something) in addition to changing the attachment. That should change it to the right date...

As moderator the edit date is only updated when you also add an edit reason. If you don't want a reason to be displayed, edit the post again and remove the reason.

Does the power usage increase/decrease depending on the settings of the emitter?
i.e. does a larger wall consume more energy than a smaller wall?

Only in that more walls are build. The % cost per wall is the same.

I request the ability t emit curved sections of walls. Straight walls either leave a section that's out of range or the turrets, or segments that are in range of spitters, who will then ignore the walls in favor of attacking the turrets, making the walls rather pointless.

Hi this is kinda unrelated to the mod it self.. i just would like to know how to get that FPS/UPS info from my factorio game to the screen as indicated in the Screenshot

Press F4 -> "Always" tab -> Show FPS

Firstly, thank you for your work on this mod.

I'd like to include your mod in a modpack I'm working on, but I can't seem to find a licence anywhere. Would you mind clarifying whether I have permission to redistribute (and possibly modify) this mod?

That's fine.

First I'd like to thank you for this mod. It is absolutely brilliant!
I did want to mention one bug I just found that crashed my game though.

When using the deconstruction planner to remove the Forcefield Emitter, I get:
Error while running the event handler: __Force Fields__/control.lua:261: LuaEntity API call when LuaEntity was invalid.

I did some testing with it, and more specifically it seems to occur when there is not enough room on the ground to drop the
advanced circuit/processing unit entities on the ground. I was able to reproduce the error on another forcefield emitter by
simply putting down 2 tiles thick of belt around the emitter and then using the deconstruction planner. I hope that information helps out!

Ah I know what's happening it puts the item down but then the belt sucks up the item and it's no longer valid after being put down. It normally marks the item for deconstruction after putting it down. I'll fix it.

Whenever I try to remove a forcefield (not touching it with my player) I die almost instantly and then my game crashes after that.
Heres a log file when it happened:
