DESCRIPTION OVERALL

These mod changes graphics/colours for Bob's mods mainly, revamp completely of menus, switching things around and obviously will only work if his mods are present.

I've fixed few issues with Bob's using old graphics entities from 0.14/0.15, all entities are now updated correctly to the base graphics from 0.16, all sizes are updated and everything should play nice with the base 0.16 Factorio. Some weird things happening with the animation of sniper turrets are fixed now. I am sure Bob will eventually update his mods with them too, till then you're welcome Do not try to use previous version of base games or Bob's graphics as sizes won't match my definition and will get corrupted in the game or will just crash while loading! Make sure, you use whatever I've got in my graphics folder to ensure you get the right size or from base game 0.16!

There aren't many option to toggle this time, I've tried to reduce that crazy amount of options from previous versions. Trying to create mods that are really easy to play with and that allow anybody to create their own with their own options. Only ores graphics can be turn on/off and the swap between belts/splitters/underground/loaders green/purple colour. Why only those and not all, because maybe someone is already too used to bob's belting colour and don't want them to get changed but don't mind the other entities. That's all. I will never add options to toggle separately every single item. The purpose of this mod is to get the colour code if you don't like it then don't use it. But nothing prevents you from using my mod as the base to create your own version with your own colour code coded (maybe orange, pink, celest, braun and fuchsia) and release it. Happy with it too. I've updated my mod with that idea in mind, to allow anyone to create their own style and post it in an easy and fast way to edit them.

DESCRIPTION SHINYBOB_GRAPHICS

Bob's mod style:


ShinyBob_Graphics: I went in this update for a more "Tubular" option and I will keep updating things trying to follow that, instead of a simple recolour/apply filter to the whole entity, my goal is to be a little more subtle and just update some tubs or things to make it less invasive but still showing clearly what tier you've got installed.

DESCRIPTION SHINYBOB_MENUS_ICONS

With the Icons mod, I've updated them all to follow my code-colour based (gray)-yellow-red-blue-purple-green-white. Why this code an not another one with maybe purple/green switched, because reasons, you can say I am a big fan of rainbows! There are a mix of old icons, new icons and based updated icons. If not happy with one or few icons, feel free to change them downloading the test_icon mod, you will see that it is quite easy to update your own icons, as it gets loaded after mine (I recommend that you update/change the name from test_icons to MyownmodHellIcons or whatever). Just make sure that folders names are the same as mines and that's it, select write down the right name of the object (can be an item or recipe) and write down the new icon file name next to it, and there you will have your own icon! I will try to write a small tutorial later one about editing my mods.

For the Menus mod, I've tried to put all the things that belong together together, split and separate things that didn't make sense. Let me rephrase this, you must understand that Bob's first aim was to preserve every single element from the base game where it was to ensure new comers weren't lost in his mod! And that's why everything could seem all over the place at first glance but that's how Bob's intentionally coded it, nothing wrong here. Now, once you know everything about Bob's mod, the new recipes, how things work and all that, having every single thing in different menus could slow you down a lot as it is still confusing to know that new belts are in Bob's Logistics instead of just Logistics with the other belts.

One thing to note is that, I've hard coded this revamp, what I mean is that I've created from scratch each and every single group and subgroups, place every single item/recipe present in the base game, bob's mod and mods mentioned above, as well, in those groups/subgroups! This means that if you've got other mods that add more items/recipes, they may get all over the place from the normal way of my mod. Sorry about that, I couldn't bring myself to explore once again bob's menu names and nightmare groups/subgroups all over the place, (if present or not present, as you can toggle mods and inside options, 15 different mods!). That would have been impossible. My approach was that if everything is listed then anyone that wants to change or add something is free to do so. Plus you don't really need to know where everyone else has coded or not their stuff, just add the name of what you want to move and put the name of subgroup you want it to move to. As my subgroups are all listed and ready to be used. You don't need to ask yourself what comes first or after what. It is there, it is clearly shown and editable, no need to go all over the place trying to get your mod loaded after, before or whatever for your items to go where you want them to go! It is hard coded, they will appear where you want them.

Check the test menu mod to see how easy is to create your own mod with your own changes and menus/submenus/groups!

Original_Base_distribution

ShinyBob_Icons_Menus

Never the less, here are the new revamp:



Nothing from this first menu, really, put all belts together, underground belts, trains, chests, etc... If there is a mod that will activate the loaders those will be sorted in this menu too.



This second menu, Bob's logistics is left dealing with pipes, pumps, valves, shortage-tanks and robots/roboports in general. Everything placed to make it easy to see what's going on.



Production, main update here, added icons with colours and letters, solar-panels: S=small, M=medium, L=large, accumulators: F=fast, H=high, S= slow.
Furnaces are placed following the order of upgrades, first column are the base one, second, next tier and so on, no need to look everywhere to know which ones get or not updates later on.



With ShinyBob_Icons 0.16.2 update, all icons have been updated to look more like Factorio 0.16 style finally.



This menu is left with really little, I've put some of the new Bob's greenhouse here, as well as the air-filtering recipes if mod is present.



Fluids: a really interesting menu, got quite an update. Let see, first, the recipes for petroleum, light oil and heavy oil are drawn to show how much each will produce. Per example, the first one, will produce more Petroleum than the other two (4, 3, 3), the second one, heavy oil is really low compared to the others (5.5, 4.5, 1) and then the last one where heavy-oil is higher and the formula is (3, 2, 5) (petro,light,heavy) No need to think twice next time you are in the middle of your 20 refineries to know which one produce how much heavy-oil! With update 0.16, I've updated bob's recipe icon too, now it includes sulfuric-acid and same goes on as previously mentioned. Heights shows how much you get, as well as showing what is needed, petrol/water/carbon and heavy-oil. Next, crackings are all together and in succession. Like solid fuel.

Chemistry: I've grouped by row everything that had the same aim, sulfure, chlorure and recipes of nitrogen. I've changed/updated some icons to make visible everything that gets produced at the same time. Really easy to know which recipe do oxygen, hydrogen, chlore or whatever, no more going from one tab to the other and searching for that unknown element to find if it actually produces that second thing that we need.
Split and order each formula for barrelling to make them more pleasing to look at.


Once ShinyBob_Extras will be released (not sure what that will happen) those extra reciepes from version 0.14 will be added here as previously.



Bob's Materials: I've tried to put all ores and plates together. I've updated few icons to show their second output if there is one, grouped together same items when possible. Plastic bars are here, every base game plate too, like copper, iron, steel plates, as stone bricks and concrete too. No more: where is my plate?! Plates are in Bob's Materials! If you don't like the concrete to be moved, pick up the test mod and edit it to create your own mod where you put back concrete and bricks back into Logistics.



Bob's Intermediates: has got everything, all batteries, all wires, all electronics, all circuits, gears and all stuff, no more wondering around to find what you need next! As well as all bob's base ammunition.



Finally, Combat menu, regroup, split and making things looks alright and easy to search and a huge update on graphics icons too.



Putting all vehicle equipment together in their own tab, here it is. As well, as every single object that is put into armours grid and vehicle grid has been updated to reflect their new icons from base game.



Here, the gems where shuffle to match my code colour, yellow, red, blue, purple, green and white! Those will finally match with laser turrets, laser rifle/ammo and laser beams too.

Ores update

BASE - SHINY

Tech Three update

With ShinyBob_Techs 0.16.1, I have almost updated every single Bob tech to a more Factorio style, below some examples of the updated icons. My main goal was to make as clear as possible what you were going to research without having to actually click on the tech. As now the techs follow like the item, my main colour-code, matching the items obviously.

[Latest changes]Latest changes

[*]Get ShinyBob_Techtree out (most is already done, importing from previous 0.14.x version) Need to rewrite it to ensure it is as friendly as possible for anyone to update it like previous mods

BUGS

Let me know if you find any bug or anything that you think should get updated to make it even more easier to plan a megabase and I will try to do my best. I am not a coder and I've finally released this because a good friend of mine pushed me t do so. I won't be trying to make this addon compatible with any other mod that it isn't already with, thanks for downloading this addon.

As a last note I want to mention is that I've tried really hard to get all my icons and graphics from the base game and then apply my changes/modification to those. I've only reused someone else work, if those were original and were not present in the base game, to make them work with my coding colour. If you see something that you think is yours and I haven't credited you for it, I am sorry, please, just send me a PM. I've modified quite few things and I can't remember everything. I know, I should keep a record of what I do, my bad! I will credit you or if you want simply remove it from my mod, no problems at all.

Big thanks to:

Bobingabout wihtout him, I probably wouldn't be playing Factorio any longer. Thanks for your amazing mod again.
Zombiee for creating those tree fantastic mods (ShinyBobGFX, ShinyIcons and ShinyAngelGFX) that gave me everything I needed to bring myself to create this new update. I wouldn't have done it without his mods as I basically c+p most of his code. As well as use his graphics for pipes (finally pipes look good!) and probably some other stuff that I don't remember right now but I am sure own him Thanks again.
Klonan for his Laser_Beam_Turrets mod that allows me to have updated laser colours without having to learn how to learn again how to do it myself!
Optera for his LoaderRedux mod and Archangel666 for his graphics for loaders that I've updated to match my colour code.
Therax for his miniloader mod and once again Arch666Angel and modified graphics by Therax, only to match my colour code again.
doktorstick for his hacked-splittersT mod, even thought I couldn't figure out yet how his layers work to allow the update of green and purple colour to match my coding colour unfortunately. I will get there in my next update.
Dysoch for his amazing mod, got lots of ideas from his mod in the early stages of my mod, radars/accus and boilers per example, even thought I've got my own graphics now, it was nice to see what options he went for, lot of help there.
Mike aka XyLe thanks for the inspiration to create my solar panels as for the accus too in his mod Electricity_XyLe_1.0.0
mcguten for his 5dim_mining mod, which I've reused for the bob's area mining drill until I created my own pics from the base game.
Taehl and his fantastic IconFix mod as he kindly agreed for me to use some of his icons.
AnonymoScoot for tech icons like Titanium, Tungsten and Nitinol processing in his AnonyMods
Kamsta99 for his help with Tech Icons (that saved me days or work!!!) and for some other minors ones, like gears icons. As well, as his feedback on how to improve things.

And of course thanks to the Factorio's team that created an even better game than Minecraft Keep up the great job guys.

Wow, you've done a great job with this -- I always disliked that the regular electric poles had identical graphics and icons as the Mk4 poles, and you've splendidly addressed this and pretty much everything else that bothered me in Bob's mods! Your graphics updates look really good, I must say. Excellent mod -- although the title is a bit misleading, as there is far, far more content here than just some extra chests.

A bug report: If you've turned off certain things in bobconfig like:

Code: Select all

bobmods.config.enemies.EnableNewArtifacts = false

Then certain item prototypes like the Alien Lab (lab-alien) won't exist, and ExtraChests throws an error about this. You can solve the issue by wrapping the relevant item in if checks, like you do in many other places. I had issues specifically at:

Line 1020 of data-updates.lua:

Code: Select all

data.raw.item["lab-alien"].order = "g[lab-4]"

It needs another if check like you have in many places:

Code: Select all

if data.raw.item["lab-alien"] then
	data.raw.item["lab-alien"].order = "g[lab-4]"
end

This is the only issue I had given my bobconfig choices, but it's possible there are other potential similar issues if other parts of bobconfig are changed.

Finally, a minor note: It's "graphics" not "grafics". It's just in the code (config.lua et al.) so it doesn't really matter, but you could improve the readability by a simple Ctrl+H search/replace to fix the spelling.

Once again, nice job, I'll definitely use this to accompany all my Bob's mod games.

[qjm123]

Thanks a lot for your kind words about my addon

Yes, gosh! You know when I noticed the "grafics" spelling mistake? While I was actually writing my previous post! I thought it was too late and I was too tired to update everything, for next update I will fix that I hope. Oh, I am Spanish, that's why the "f"

You are right about that issue coming up if not all bob's mod modules are present. While "programming", big word for me, more like c+p hoping for the best really, I didn't really look into the option of not using some of those amazing bob's modules, there are so great why would someone not use them all... oh, alien's artifacts!!!... I get it. Ok, but that would have added an extra layer of complexity that I didn't want to face back then while "programming". That's why I kind of insist at the beginning that all Bob's mods need to be present for this addon to work correctly.

But if people kindly find out what needs to be changed or "turn off" then I will gladly add those parts of codes to my addon and update it, thanks for your code and be ensured that I will be adding it in the next few days in an update after getting some more feedback.

Finally, about the name, you so right again. It's so misleading but I didn't want to use the "Bob's addon" name as that was really unfair without asking Bobingabout permission and I really wanted to keep my original name too, as I only started this whole thing wanting just more space to keep that sodium-hydroxide crap

Cheers Supercheese

[mngrif]

Yep this is going in to my bobsmod playthrough right now.

[TheTom]

I like it. BUT:

* I Think you should be more conservative with the colors. I totally like how you make them on boilers, steam engines. OTOH the tanks are just way too brutal. Keeping them mostly grey with a coloered element would IMHO be nicer. At least more consistent

* I think the tank are overpowered. I am all in favour of adding capacity, but 10x is too much

Is this supposed to work with an existing savefile? Got an error message whn loading., cannot execute command... game.reload_script(): 8: attemot to index field "addon-sodium-hydroxite" (a nl value)

[_cdecl]

Thank you for releasing this fantastic mod. I did have an issue starting the game, though. Line 1003 in data-updates.lua needs a guard, it's complaining about "upgrade-planner".

Yeah looks like that needs an if check as well.

Not laughing at you but at myself! So funny, here my version 0.0.1

ExtraChests_0.0.1.zip

(4.06 MiB) Downloaded 386 times

where actually I've got normal colours for tanks! Down the line upgrading versions, I must have come to the conclusion and said to myself something like "Jorge, everything has to make sense: YELLOW, RED, BLUE, PURPLE AND GREEN, that's the way to go!!!"
And now I can quite see I am wrong with tanks actually, I will update the graphics to more normal Factorio colours as you are suggesting, still keeping that colours code but more in line with what I did with boilers. Thanks for pointing it out.

About the overpower of tanks capacity, I guess I will try to add some code to config.lua to allow people to change it if wanted. I know that for me I can't get bother with that aspect of the game, I just want to store things, that's all I care about and probably people will agree with that. But, never the less, giving the option would be a better solution here.

About the issue you're reporting, not sure how I can test that. My knowledge about lua and programming is limited and not sure how to solve that, sorry about that. I will try to have a look at the formula and see what's happening there. Thanks again for your comment and happy you like it

Thank you for releasing this fantastic mod. I did have an issue starting the game, though. Line 1003 in data-updates.lua needs a guard, it's complaining about "upgrade-planner".

Oh, sorry about that, I am so use to use some of the mods that I completely forgotten things that aren't in vanilla!
Two options to fix it before my next update around next Tuesday:

Adding the upgrade-planner_1.1.7 mod (

upgrade-planner_1.1.7.zip

(10.1 KiB) Downloaded 350 times

), here is the page of the mod made by kds71 https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... de+planner Notice that I haven't yet tried out version 1.1.9, that's why I have attached the 1.1.7 as I can't seem to find it in his page any longer.

Second option, it is to use the following code:

Code: Select all

if data.raw["deconstruction-item"]["upgrade-planner"]
	data.raw["deconstruction-item"]["upgrade-planner"].subgroup = "energy"
end
if data.raw["deconstruction-item"]["deconstruction-planner"]
	data.raw["deconstruction-item"]["deconstruction-planner"].subgroup = "energy"
end

instead of the

Code: Select all

	data.raw["deconstruction-item"]["upgrade-planner"].subgroup = "energy"
	data.raw["deconstruction-item"]["deconstruction-planner"].subgroup = "energy"

Glad you've liked it.

[qjm123]

Hi, just to let you know, there was a mistake in the code I've posted quickly the other day. Sorry about that, as mentioned, coding is not my strong point unfortunately. I was missing the "then" at the end of each "if" statement.

I've released an update, 0.1.1 addressing this and another issue about lab-alien not available.

Code: Select all

if data.raw["deconstruction-item"]["upgrade-planner"] then 
	data.raw["deconstruction-item"]["upgrade-planner"].subgroup = "energy"
end
if data.raw["deconstruction-item"]["deconstruction-planner"] then 
	data.raw["deconstruction-item"]["deconstruction-planner"].subgroup = "energy"
end

I was unable to find/reproduce the issues about

cannot execute command... game.reload_script(): 8: attemot to index field "addon-sodium-hydroxite" (a nl value)

Please, let me know if you get any other bug or encounter issues with this new update.

[_cdecl]

That's OK, I actually didn't notice because I had patched it myself before you responded. I have a fair bit of programming experience (career / student / hobby), so if you need some help with coding, let me know.

__ExtraChests__/data-updates.lua:1629: attempt to index field 'explosive-artillery-shell' (a nil value)

Edit: I am a version behind. Updating and will report back with errors if needed.

[qjm123]

That's right, it needs bobwarfare_0.12.9 as it is where that 'explosive-artillery-shell' gets declared.

I've updated the first post to list each version of bobsmod modules that is need and when I'll do my next update I will hard code them in the info.json to ensure that everyone has the modules up to date before launching my addon.

Thanks a lot for bringing this issue up _cded.

[Arch666Angel]

Looks way better with only coloring the highlights instead of most part of the entity.

Useful mod =)
qjm123 big wish to you - make simple smart inserter - sometimes i need slow inserter with smart function
And may be all these inserters with 90 and 180 degree rotation, it wil be very very cool

Thanks for the simple smart inserter, I really don't see where or when it can really be useful as with bob's mod you quickly get to the point where even express inserters can't handle the workload. My guess is that you want to retrive from a belt that has two products at least or even more (otherwise you will be just using the burner inserter) some quantity like a 10% or so to a chest or assembly machine but you don't want to impact more your belt. There is few other ways to achieve that without having a new inserter. Having only one product in that belt and using splitter-belts, two or tree in cascade will leave you with 50% and 25% and with a 4th, you'll get 12.5% of that same belt then just burner inserter or simple burner. Another option, it is simply using a smart inserter, make it pick up what you need and drop it on the floor and use a simple or burner inserter, you will achieve that filtering from a smart inserter and the speed of the slower one, as until the simple/burner doesn't finish it's task the smart (and faster) won't be able to do anything else! Hope that help, I know it is a lot more effort than just a new and shiny inserter. But thrust me, there are already too many inserters!

About the 90 degree rotation, there is already a mod that does that, I haven't try it myself, as there is too many inserters already in Bob's mod and my addon, but you can try them out and report back, I won't mind to add some extra code to ensure they are place in the right spot in the menu. https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =14&t=3622

I am using that mod right now and it only supports the vanilla inserters. It works great as long as you don't need 90 degree versions of the near or far inserters, or anything from bob's mod. I can confirm that they do show up in the correct location in the crafting menu too.

U can can create 90 and 180 degree rotation versions of all versions bob inserters? I'll be thankful for it
May be it will be addon for your mod or addon for bob logistics?

What you could have done instead of the different color versions for the same base model/sprite, make an overlay sprite and work with the tint={} command.

How wow, I didn't know the tint command could be used in different object apart from the chemical plant. I saw it while I was trying to set up their colours but never thought it could be apply to others. Programming not my strongest ability and with lua and factorio even less. But I will have a look at it and see what I can get out from it, next week I'll have something for sure. Thanks again for the tip.

About inserters, I've got no plans right now to add any new inserters. If I ever get into getting a new one, I would try to get one that is programmable, that somehow you could select from where it picks it up things and where it deposits them, but this is not for tomorrow as it will require a lot more skills than I've got right now I am afraid. But who knows...
