[2.0.24] Passing parameter into __ENTITY__ LocalisedString doesn't work

[Xorimuth]

In 1.1 I had the following:

Code: Select all

[mod-setting-name]
power-overload-entity=__ENTITY____1____

Code: Select all

    local pole_name = "big-electric-pole"
    data:extend{
      {
        type = "string-setting",
        name = "power-overload-max-power-" .. pole_name,
        localised_name = {"mod-setting-name.power-overload-entity", pole_name},

        setting_type = "startup",
        default_value = "100MW",
      }
    }

In 2.0, it just displays as the following, which is not correct:

It should display as "Big electric pole".

Obviously this is a simplified case, in reality I have a whole list of pole_names which I want to create settings for, which is why the `__ENTITY__` thing is very helpful... if I was able to pass parameters into it.

The same happens with __CONTROL__

in 1.1 I had "registered=Train [train=__1__] registered to __CONTROL____2____"
But in 2.0 that doesn't work anymore

It looks like the string of four underscores is being escaped into two literal underscores. What if you put eight underscores on either side of the number?

Thanks for the quick response, although that's unfortunate.
Sure I can do

Code: Select all

for _, pole_name in pairs(pole_names) do
    data:extend{
      {
        type = "string-setting",
        name = "power-overload-max-power-" .. pole_name,
        localised_name = {"entity-name." .. pole_name},
        setting_type = "startup",
        default_value = "100MW",
      }
    }
end

but this won't work if a mod has set the pole's name using `localised_name` - that is now impossible to access from setting names/descriptions.

Ah well, hopefully that won't be too common, and since `pole_names` is a manually curated list anyway (including many modded poles), I can always add in a hardcoded override for mods/poles that break with the above system. Or just let the locale errors persist.
