I was going to make a comment about how as a user, it's nice when mod packages are smaller in size, with graphics split up so that logic updates don't take so long to download. Then I noticed that it's King Jo we are talking about, and understand the concern :lol:


xd

well tbh this mod is ...

Yeah maybe arbitrary was the wrong word. Wanted to say its pointless, not random.

Unfortunately uploads to the mod portal must be completed in 30s before a timeout drops the connection.

Hmm that's unfortunate. That would mean 200 MB / 30 sec = 6.66 MB/s = 53.33 Mbit/s would need to be my internet speed but I only have ~20.

Now I don't know what upload speeds people usually ...

Oh nice ^^

And sorry for not testing if it's even caused by the additive blend mode ^^

I tried uploading a 195 MB mod to the portal on 3 different days and on 2 different devices in separate networks with different upload speeds and all ended in the attached error.

Before I tried the first time, I uploaded 3 way smaller mods and it worked fine so I suspect the file size being a problem

I've made the test mod now. 4 cars in the unsorted crafting category

shows the not working tinted additive light_animation (black)
shows the working normal additive light_animation (white)
shows the working tinted additive animation (orange)
shows the working normal additive animation (white)

Thanks for the report. Can you share your mod for testing and explain why using animation is not a good workaround?

Uhh the mod is Lamborghini Aventador , but it is using a parent mod for entity setup and is also having a different sprite setup now, until this issue (if it is one) is fixed. But ...

TL;DR
runtime tint breaks when using additive blend mode in the light_animation of a car prototype
Long Version:
In the following image one can see the comparison between the same layer definition of a car prototype's light_animation , the only difference beeing the apply_runtime_tint . (For ...

Before version 2.X there was a collision-layer that only the out-of-map tile had, called "floor-layer". This could be used to have entities only exist on solid ground or water but not outside of the map (I used it for a car mod, the vehicle could drive both on water and solid ground).
However from 2 ...

I would like to request some API Doc explanations on some parameters I am working with but don't quite know what they do

impact_speed_to_volume_ratio and deliver_category of VehiclePrototype
and
multiplier, minimum, maximum, offset and inverted of ActivityMatchingModifiers

The changelog doesn't say that was removed

On action_delivery, the source_offset only gives final offset to the beam starting point and doesn't rotate with the shooter. This is different behavior compared to laser-turret where the source_offset of the attack_parameter itself provides a rotating offset where it follows the rotation of the ...

Done! https://mods.factorio.com/mod/better-tank-animation

Illiander42 wrote: Fri Jun 21, 2024 5:36 pm Does it get the track rotations right for turning left vs right?

Since the animation while rotating counter clockwise is backwards and while clockwise its forward, yes

TL;DR
Vanilla tank should have animated tracks while turning on the spot


What ?
Right now the tank's tracks are not moving when you turn on the spot. But with some simple spritesheet rearrangements and image splitting and remerging done, it can be animated while rotating. I have tried that ...

I would've needed this already years ago when I started adding mod cars XD

But yeah a max speed limit property for car prototypes would really help create more realistic cars. Without them you don't really have control over the max speed unless you play around with mass, consumption, friction and ...

I would love it and could make use of a turn_range support for artillery type turrets and ~ wagon turrets.

Currently they always have a 360° aiming circle regardless of the value that you set in the gun's attack_parameters of the artillery gun.

Now I dunno how the artillery logic is implemented ...

I'm currently making a mod again. I'm trying to make an "ammo-turret" that only aims at "car" s that have a certain trigger_target_mask .

I'm doing this by giving the turret a new TriggerTargetMask {"air-unit"} as attack_target_mask , {"ground-unit"} as ignore_target_mask and giving all cars the ...

Both 1.1.0 and 1.1.1 have the bug:
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/kj_40kbunker/downloads

I tried to fix it with a custom-input where I would be teleported out of the bunker per script but it seems the game doesn't wanna do that too. I used the script from the cargo ships mod and adapted it to my use. It works on all other car/train prototypes but not my bunker.
