No pause on the end-game "no satellite" message

It would be great for mods using rocket-silo in an alternative way (ion cannon, cargo rockets), to avoid the blocking "no satellite" message in solo play.
For memory, the map code is :
Code: Select all
script.on_event(defines.events.on_rocket_launched, function(event)
(...)
if (#game.players <= 1) then
game.show_message_dialog{text = {"gui-rocket-silo.rocket-launched-without-satellite"}}
else
for index, player in pairs(force.players) do
player.print({"gui-rocket-silo.rocket-launched-without-satellite"})
end
end
It would be great to suppress the solo-play test and always use the player.print non-blocking message.

Well I checked a new map under 0.13, and it seems that my request was not received
It would be great for rocket mods and any end-game mods... And not a big change to implement...

I'd like to second this request. Redefining the end-game is the purpose of some mods, and these can be a great boon to Factorio, so I believe the time invested making this change would probably be worth it.

Yes !
In general, I always think that these paused dialogs are always a pain.
(The "freeplay" paused dialog when you create a new map is another example).
Those dialogs could be printed in the console window, as informative non blocking messages.

Would it be possible to allow mods to change what triggers the message? So things like the ion-cannon would be considered "valid" payloads?

I'll see what I can come up with.
