removing a button from top-left corner?

I'm trying to update GUI for
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Teleportation_Redux/
One of the improvements I've made is creating a button in shortcut bar that opens a new beacon management window.
But now I can't get rid of that old button in the top-left corner!
I can't find neither the tooltip text nor the relevant icon in the source (it's not tooltip-button-main or teleporter_icon.png)
https://imgbox.com/41kZdRoT
I've removed all calls to
Code: Select all
--Shows mod's main button in player's GUI.
function Teleportation_ShowMainButton(player)
if player ~= nil and player.valid then
local gui = player.gui.top
if not gui.teleportation_main_button then
local button = gui.add({type="button", name="teleportation_main_button", style = "teleportation_main_button_style"})
button.tooltip = {"tooltip-button-main"}
end
end
end
but the icon still pops up, even in the old saves
Where the hell is it created?

This is how I remove the "mod-gui" button of my mod. It looks like your button is added to the "top" gui. Hope that helps

this button is mod_gui_top_frame as
/c local f=game.player.gui.top.mod_gui_top_frame if f and f.valid then f.destroy() end
removes it.
But if I just start the game normally - even a new game - the button is there despite the migration

Code: Select all
--Hides mod's toolbar button for player.
function Teleportation_HideMainButton(player)
log("Try Destroying teleportation main button")
if player ~= nil and player.valid then
local gui = player.gui.top
if gui.mod_gui_top_frame then
log("Destroying mod_gui_top_frame")
gui.mod_gui_top_frame.destroy()
end
end
end
log:
Code: Select all

I'm not sure where you're getting the mod_gui_top_frame name from, but if you want to remove the button for Teleporation Redux, than you want to destroy the
teleportation_main_button element it's creating.
In the console, that would be
Code: Select all
game.player.gui.top.teleportation_main_button.destroy()
In your code, it should be
Code: Select all
--Hides mod's toolbar button for player.
function Teleportation_HideMainButton(player)
log("Try Destroying teleportation main button")
if player ~= nil and player.valid then
local gui = player.gui.top
if gui.teleportation_main_button then
log("Destroying mod_gui_top_frame")
gui.teleportation_main_button.destroy()
end
end
end

that's the question, innit. I've remvoed the code that creates teleportation_main_button - and the button still there. According to logs, there is no teleportation_main_button in game.player.gui.top. But there is that mod_gui_top_frame - and only when this mod is enabled
case closed, GUI Unifyer did that:
Code: Select all
local newbuttonlist = {
--mod button name sprite tooltip show button (for some there's already a setting to toggle button)
...
{"Teleportation_Redux", "teleportation_main_button", "teleportation_button", {'guiu.teleportation_button'}, true},
