Yeah, I gotcha. This would be my two-cent preference.

Yeah, I figured it out. The item in question had it's animation defined in a top-level table. By moving that definition into a newly created sub-table called layers , i was able to add another animation frame that's my texture overlay. It took some hunting around to find the magic sauce ( i.e., that...

Surfaces is one such mode that wipes out util . I received an error report for example the same reason. Luckily the bug reporter gave me a zip of the mod directory and after a binary search of the mods, I found that my mod fails with Surfaces due to: $ head -n 20 script/lib/util.lua --[[ Surfaces (F...

I noticed on the mod portal that for NEEnemies, V6.2.1 - Slight tweak to "Scorched Earth". If not near water the edges will be rounded. If near water, they have to be square . I am unsure if it's working properly. The scorched earth is near the water, and they are definitely square... Here...

Howdy. When I tweaked the splitters in my mod, I manually edited every animation frame in Paint.NET to dinstinguish them visually from the default splitters (four direction facings, three splitter types, and 32 animation frames). In thinking about supporting other mod author's splitters natively, I ...

Can confirm this exists in the latest version 0.13.15 on Mac OS X (El Capitan) with 29 mods.

Thanks. I loaded up a LAN multiplayer to test and it didn't fail. Bad luck on my part I guess. I would have rather it failed fast. My guess is that because the first person joins, it does as you say, and their first tick fires. This initializes in `global` my lookup table. By time the MP joins, the ...

Thanks for the response. Minor misunderstanding. I'm not storing the cache in game ; it's in the top-level "local". It's basically a lookup table on some static computations from game.entity.prototypes . Since the data is static and cannot change during run-time, I don't see a need to stor...

Howdy. I would like a debugging API to help identify performance bottlenecks. For instance: t1 = util.timestamp() do_order_n_cubed_operations() print ("function took", util.timestamp() - t1, "nanoseconds") Optimally, it would measure only the time my code spent running, but if it...

Howdy. What's the proper way to initialize a cache to the game table? I cannot do it in on_load since game doesn't exist, yet. Right now, I've resorted to doing: local hacked_cache = nil script.on_event ( defines.events.on_tick, function (event) if hacked_cache == nil then build_hacked_cache() end ....

I'm relatively new to modding and this forum (my first post, actually), but I've spent a bit of time experimenting. My statements below are from my observations and I fully welcome any course corrections where I'm off-base. :D I'm not sure what I can tell you as an end user, but as a modder, the ans...
