(Resolved) Vanilla Graphic over-ride

[TheSAguy]

Hi,

I'm trying to replace the vanilla Rail graphics.
I have the new rail images in these folders (All the vanilla images. Same names as vanilla):

Code: Select all

\Bio_Industries_1.0.0\graphics\entities\wood_products\curved-rail-concrete
\Bio_Industries_1.0.0\graphics\entities\wood_products\straight-rail-concrete

I tried adding to my data-updates.lua the following:

Code: Select all

	require("prototypes.Wood_Products.demo-railpictures-concrete")
	data.raw.item["straight-rail"].pictures = railpictures_concrete()
	data.raw.item["curved-rail"].pictures = railpictures_concrete()

And in "demo-railpictures-concrete":

demo-railpictures-concrete

Code: Select all

	railpictures_concrete = function()
	return railpicturesinternal_concrete({{"metals", "metals"}, {"backplates", "backplates"}, {"ties", "ties"}, {"stone_path", "stone-path"}})
	end


railpicturesinternal_concrete = function(elems)
  local keys = {{"straight_rail", "horizontal", 64, 64},
                {"straight_rail", "vertical", 64, 64},
                {"straight_rail", "diagonal", 64, 64},
                {"curved_rail", "vertical", 128, 256},
                {"curved_rail" ,"horizontal", 256, 128}}
  local res = {}
  for _ , key in ipairs(keys) do
    part = {}
    dashkey = key[1]:gsub("_", "-")
    for _ , elem in ipairs(elems) do
      part[elem[1]] = {
        filename = string.format("__Bio_Industries__/graphics/entities/wood_products/%s-concrete/%s-%s-%s.png", dashkey, dashkey, key[2], elem[2]),
        priority = "extra-high",
        width = key[3],
        height = key[4]
      }
    end
    res[key[1] .. "_" .. key[2]] = part
  end
  res["rail_endings"] = {
    sheet =
    {
      filename = "__base__/graphics/entity/rail-endings/rail-endings.png",
      priority = "high",
      width = 88,
      height = 82
    }
  }
  return res
end

But I must be missing something, since the vanilla graphic is still in place.
Thanks.

EDIT: I just re-created the entities and that worked. Not sure why the above did not though.

I think it's one of those cases of "You're doing it wrong".
Don't get me wrong, I don't see the error in what you're doing, but I have had a similar experience before.

My ores mod for example, one of the things I was changing was the autoplace tag on resources.
No matter what I did, my changes were effectively ignored. I made several small changes over and over again, and even re-wrote the whole thing twice from scratch... until... It just works, and I have no idea what I even did differently.

Both the working, and nonworking versions include the data.raw.resource[resource].autoplace = <new data> line.

.

I'm my case, it's always something I'm doing wrong.
Well I found the error... so obvious. Rail entity is not an item...

Fix:

Code: Select all

	data.raw["straight-rail"]["straight-rail"].pictures = railpictures_c()
	data.raw["curved-rail"]["curved-rail"].pictures = railpictures_c()
