Re: Request: module_specification.allowed_module_categories

I have two concerns with this. 1. Lets say a modder wants to add a new machine that doesn't support the default production modules using this method, so they define it to only allow the base game's speed and efficiency modules. Then another mod adds new tiers of speed modules which have their own ca...

[0.17.45] Entity set as inoperable says it can't be mined when attempting to repair

When attempting to repair an entity that has operable = false, it will display a flying text error "This cannot be mined" every tick.

Re: API of the armed entities. Guided weapons

I have implemented selected_gun_index for entities of type Car (which includes tanks) (I have source access). It will be in 0.17.46. If you want selected_ammo_index for turrets, I suggest making a new topic. I didn't look at implementing it because I don't know how turrets behave when they have mult...

Re: Access to the "formula" calculator for infinite technologies

I have implemented the function game.evaluate_expression(...) for this purpose (I have source access). It will be in 0.17.46.
For the future, you can make an API request in the modding interface requests board, where it'll get seen much quicker (at least by me).

Re: Access to tile elevation value

I took a look at reimplementing this when I got source access, and from what I could see: if it's possible at all, it won't be easy. Features aren't typically taken out lightly, so the terrain generation rewrite probably made it impossible or too difficult to do.

Re: Dynamic mod name getting

How is the function called? Mods are sandboxed in the control stage, meaning they can't interact with each other except by explicit means. You may be able to use LuaBootstrap.mod_name. If this is a question and not a request, then it should go in the Modding Help board. Also I recommend checking out...

Re: LuaRendering.draw_sprite{respect_alt_mode=}

I have implemented this for 0.17.45 (didn't make it into todays release unfortunately). All rendering.draw_X functions will have the only_in_alt_mode parameter, as well as a getter and setter.

Re: API usage validation

I think you just chalk this up to a broken mod. I agree that you shouldn't have to check defensively, especially with events that are typically from the game, but if you wanted to enforce it then there's a lot of edge cases it would need to look out for. eg. can you not send optional data? what abou...

Re: Water-only map generation in 0.17

I'm looking into noise stuff again, and I found that you can use a constant in place of a noise expression in the property_expression_names of MapGenSettings, eg. elevation = "-10". that should generate you a water-only world without needing access to the data stage or using hacks like Klo...

Re: LuaEntityPrototype::secondary_collision_box is not exposed.

I looked into this. secondary_collision_box only exists for rail and rail remnant prototypes, and they are translated and rotated when the rail is created. Being able to read it would only give you the size of it, not its position relative to the rail, nor its rotation. The best you could do is make...

Re: on_updated: on_tick that works when paused

Having two on_tick events is probably never going to happen because it would double the performance cost of on_tick, which is probably already significant. A much better solution is to add an on_paused_tick which just fires every tick when the game is paused, instead of the regular on_tick. Then, if...

Re: Scroll-pane

I have implemented this for 0.17.19 (I have source access).
Includes: scoll_to_left, scroll_to_right, scroll_to_top, scroll_to_bottom, and scroll_to_element, and works for both scroll-panes and text-boxes.
If you think a scroll_to(x, y) would be useful, please make a new request topic for it.

Re: on_corpse_spawned

Just change the time to live or whatever its called on the corpse prototype. Except its redmew so i'm guessing their self-imposed unnecessary rules prevent them from doing that. Regardless, this event would double the number of events on death, for very few (if any) use cases. It wouldn't be the mos...
