[fixme] add the rest map-view-settings controlls to lua
Posted: Sun Jul 25, 2021 7:18 pm
You see, there is a game-view-settings (like disable minimap overlay, disable slots hotbar, disable science progress bar overlay and the like),
one of them is `show_map_view_options`
It basically allows you to disable this little block
(the one in the map-view opened)
THESE buttons can be then "controlled" by map-view-settings.
According to this link
https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Con ... ewSettings
We have a concept ref: with all those options.
You can pass them to the player-based endpoint
(https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Lua ... w_settings)
which will happily toggle them for you.
They cover the "first row" of buttons completely.
But the next row seems to have lua-tools missing?
The other problem is that the player can just "overwrite-flip them back" even "by accident".
While being cool, I see no permission to forbid them to do so. (pls guide me if I am wrong) ((I *just* want the names overlay on the map be disabled "reliably"))
The only way out seems to be to disable the vanilla gui for those map-view-settings then...
But while going onto this path, what about the second row? I've tried.. and could not play around it, sorry."Alt mode" is even more fun here btw!! reeee
I want to propose adding the rest of the options to map-view-settings, (a second row of buttons) namely:
I *may* be confusing something. Please correct me in case they are already in place.
If I just missed them up, sorry then. If there is a better way, pls name it as well, for, I am curious.
From my point it seems likely for map-view-settings to reflect the older gui menu prior to some of these buttons having been added though.
I also request an update to clarify last 2 options for map-view-settings in docs if possible.
