How to make the curved rail mod work in version 15? As this mod makes any form of complex junction easer to make.

You can place curved rails in Map Editor, I think that all you need is make recipe for it.
Always add links to mods:
daniel34/CurvedRail [0.13]
thislooksfun/CurvedRail-tlf [0.14]

Code: Select all
data:extend({
{
type = "item",
name = "curved-rail",
icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/curved-rail.png",
flags = {"goes-to-quickbar"},
subgroup = "transport",
order = "a[train-system]-b[curved-rail]",
place_result = "curved-rail",
stack_size = 50,
},
{
type = "recipe",
name = "curved-rail",
enabled = false,
ingredients = {{"rail", 4}},
result = "curved-rail",
}
})
table.insert(
data.raw["technology"]["railway"]["effects"],
{ type = "unlock-recipe", recipe = "curved-rail" }
)

darkfrei. Thank you for the help. But I am not a coder and this might be a daft question, but which file does this code need to be copyed to?

mods/MyFirstMod_0.0.1/
data.lua
The second file must be
mods/MyFirstMod_0.0.1/
info.json
with text:
Code: Select all
{
"name": "MyFirstMod",
"version": "0.0.1",
"title": "It's the name of my first mod",
"author": "ItsMyName",
"description": "The mod adds old good curved rails, nothing else",
"dependencies": ["base"],
"factorio_version": "0.15"
}
With program "Notepad++" is much better.

Please add your data.lua
But here is an error:
___CurvedRail__
must be
__CurvedRail__
two "_" by the name of mod, not more, not less.

darkfrei. Please see below copy of the data.lua as requested. As to the other error, if it is what I thik it is, it is a transcribing error on my part.
Code: Select all
data:extend({

order = "a[train-system]-b[curved-rail]",
place_result = "curved-rail",
stack_size = 50,

{
type = "recipe",
name = "curved-rail",
enabled = false,
ingredients = {{"rail", 4}},
result = "curved-rail",
}
})
table.insert(
data.raw["technology"]["railway"]["effects"],

Please check that you use encoding without BOM

Did you install Notepad++?
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/
The error message writes which line has the error symbol, just find and check it.

darkfrei. I have installed Notepad++ but the encodeing selection does not give me encode in UTF-8 without BOM. The only choises it gives me are UTF-8 or UTF-8-BOM.

Addendum. All seems to work now; well at least factorio now accepts the mod, no error reports, so will have to see how it goes in the game. darkfrei thank you very much for all your help It has been most appreciated.

Have you tried making a blueprint of a single curved rail? You'd need two of them tho becaues blueprints can only rotate 4-ways and not 8 as the original curved rail.
