[Resolved] How to "disable" control.lua...?

I maintain a loader mod, and I'm experimenting and testing the interactions when LoaderRedux is present.
Currently the interactions are favorable, nothing is wonky, except that the control logics from both mods are conflicting. (Specifically, LoaderRedux mod settings are ignored, and I want them to be supported.)
A solution I had thought to do is, when my mod and LoaderRedux are both activated, to defer to the control.lua in LoaderRedux.
I haven't the faintest idea how to do this, assuming this is even possible. There may be a better way to do this, but rewriting control logic is not something I know how to do.
Help? D:

So you can check if the mod is active using:
http://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaG ... ctive_mods
And then in your event calls, just return if the other mod is present:
Code: Select all
script.on_event(defines.events, function(event)
if game.active_mods["OtherLoaderMod"] then return end
on_event(event) --etc.
end

You can check for presence of other mods like this:
Code: Select all
if game.active_mods["pyfusionenergy"] then
--code here
end
You need to use the mod name from json file and you can decide which parts of code to cut if it's present.

This worked, thank you very much.

Wouldn't it be more prudent to not define the event in the first place?
Code: Select all
local skip = game.active_mods["OtherLoaderMod"] and true or false
if not skip then script.on_event(defines.events.on_stuff_happend,function(event)
--do more stuff
end) end

IF you know what his settings are (and you're probably going to want to do this any way in case he changes them), you can just check to see if the setting exists.

'game' namespace isn't available when the script is loading, so you would have to conditionally register the event within the on_load, which is more hassle and risk

Hm...true. Why is that table in game then though, it can't change at that point can it?
