Circuit GUI adds a special lamp that can print messages to your GUI. Using this alongside combinators and smart-chests you can set up your own resource monitors or anything else you can think up.



Walk up to a smart lamp and it's interface will appear. You can enter any text into the text field and that will appear whenever the lamp is switched on via the circuit network. The text you enter also accepts some tokens:

Code: Select all

$A is replaced with the first signal name
$B is replaced with the second signal name
$C is replaced with the comparitor (<, =, >)
$T is replaced with play time.
$D is replaced with in-game day time.
$E is replaced with the evolution factor.
$P is replaced with the pollution near the lamp.
$L is replaced with the location of the lamp.
$S is replaced with the current game speed.
$R is replaced with the current research progress.
{item-name} is replaced with an item count. It counts inside all smart-chests within a 2 tile radius.

Checking Alert will also print a message to chat when the light comes on.

Version 0.1.0 released which adds more variable substitutions.

Grrr, rar is evil.

I'm interested to see what everyone is using this for.

I'm interested to see what everyone is using this for.

I don't have it yet, but I'm considering pairing it with Logistic Combinators and getting a real-time display of resources in my base.

Also, I may possibly steal some of the code here for EvoGUI integration, if I can figure out how to make that work nicely.

[Narc]

Oh. Having just installed this, I realize I completely misunderstood the purpose of this mod. It can't show me how much X I have connected to the circuit network, it can only tell me whether a circuit condition (e.g., X > 0) is true or not.

I feel well and truly silly now, sorry.

[JamesOFarrell]

I really like this mod. I use it to warn me when I am running low on certain key production elements (Circuits mostly) and also a Rocket launch detector

Didn't know how to use github, but i made some changes to this mod.

1. Fixed the offset of the lamp.
2. Add locale, so now it doesn't show as "unknown entity key" in the crafting window.
3. Changed the icon from vanilla lamp, to green lamp.

Circuit GUI crashing when another mod GUI is opened up and we mining stuff.

0.12.11 broke this mod.
Update ?

[BlakkCooper]

Update broke a few things. Already replaced all instances of game.on_* with script.on_* which let me create a new world but when loading the save I get pic related. The line in question is

Code: Select all

game.player.print(tostring(result1))

and I have no idea how to fix that since

Code: Select all

script.player.print(tostring(result1))

doesn't work.

[Alexs]

Could someone update this great mod - please?

[Ratzap]

To fix it, change game._on references to script.on_ and remove the line containing script.on_save

Lets me load it now but I've not played with it yet to see if it is broken any other way.

@ Ratzap

Thanks for the edit.
The mod can really load now.
Also, the sensor can be built and connect.
But the Gui can not be openable - can you possibly also fix?
Thank you for your work.

The configuration GUI does not open (on the left side).
Also can be no input text ...

I've been awake over 30 hours playing a new pack I put together and kind of didn't get round to checking that I'll have a look and see if anything jumps out.

[Ratzap]

There you go, fixed. I checked it this time and I can get it to spit out messages.

[Alexs]

Thank you for your quick response.
I am excited to test it ingame...

EDIT:
The GUI now opens - but only if the mod is reinstalled.
After a savegame loading it does not open again.

I have a doc settled with changes:
- Stack_size increased and shortened GUI name.

[Darloth]

Since there was an on_Save being removed, perhaps things need to be added to the global object also, so that they are saved?

That would explain why the interim fixed version by Ratzap works on initial load, but not afterwards.

Sadly, I don't know enough of the details to fix it myself, I had a look but the actor stuff was very much more complex than I am comfortable messing with at the moment.

I'd really like an update of this one too, if anyone else wants to have a go...

[JJosh]

I've been watching this thread for quite a while now, and though my hopes are low, I'm going to ask if this will be updated for .13? It was such a neat concept that I'd hate to see it fade off.

[Corbald]

This functionality will probably be in the base game soon, methinks. Until then, I have to agree. I'd really like to see this mod get a full update, especially considering all the neat things you can do with the circuit network now.
