[0.12] Bugs, crashes & other issues

[cartola]

Guys,

It is my post here. I tried to upgrade FARL from 0.4.something to 0.5.22 and I got an error message like "attempt to index global 'global'" and I couldn't find a solution. So I opened control.lua and I saw this is in line 209:

Code: Select all

if oldVersion < "0.5.21" then

I know nothing, like John Snow, about mods or even Lua, but I think it should be:

Code: Select all

elseif oldVersion < "0.5.21" then

I updated the code here and it seems to be working just fine. If you want more details, please ping me.

(Sorry, English is not my native language)

First time using mod, so unsure if I'm doing it wrong or a bug.
factorio 0.12.29 x64, steam
FARL_0.5.22

load train with stone walls, have add walls in settings checked, but doesn't ever lay walls. tried in track laying mode, and maintanance mode. Does place lights and big poles from same car.

Bug report:

FARL may not consume rails for extra tracks when upgrading a 1 track line to 2 track lines using Maintenance mode with a blueprint.

Before starting maintenance mode:

After maintenance mode, and along the existing track until it stopped:

farl_bugreport_maintenancemode_end.PNG (1.46 MiB) Viewed 8237 times

Watching the cargon wagon contents while running, it appears to be picking up the rail that FARL is running on, and immediately placing it in 2 separate locations at the same time. FARL does stop this behavior if it runs out of directly-ahead track (and runs out of straight rail in the wagon).

I haven't tested this behavior with other objects.

Minor disclaimer: Using Mk 2 big poles from bob's mods in the blueprint. The rest of the blueprint is vanilla objects.

FARL version: FARL_0.5.22

Did you setup blueprints and have them read into FARL? Take a look at viewtopic.php?f=61&t=9411 and try the demo save: https://github.com/Choumiko/FARL/releas ... amples.zip

Is this a bug or a feature?
If I drive in rail laying mode and encounter a spawner it is destroyed without notice of the natives.

Got a bug when "mining" the FARL locomotive. The alert for the bug keeps coming even when I save and load the game.

Here's a screenshot:

Did a video to show it to you but can't reproduce.
The destroying of the spawner is working in normal game space, not FARL i guess, because FARL stopped before.

The blueprint I made contains lights but no lights are placed, is this intended?

What version of FARL? THe line makes no sense in the latest release

FARL doesn't understand more than 1 rail piece per lane.

Make sure there are lamps in the train available and check if place pole entities is active ("S" button when inside the FARL)

Hm, this looks like a edge case, the spawner seems to be in a place where FARL can just place the track, then deactivates. You keep pressing forward and the collision boxes of train and spawner collide, resulting in damage.
If you still have a save with the spawner: can you try placing the piece by hand and then drive onto the spawner with a vanilla loco? If it's the same result that sounds like a vanilla bug

This screenshot was taken in FARL 0.5.19

I just updated to the latest version 0.5.23 and it still happens. It just says 1414 instead of 1412

I had missed the place pole entities setting, thanks for the help.

I might be wrong, but in my case blue prints with bobs mod "big pole mk4" did not work with only horizontal blueprint. When I desperately tried to use a diagonal blueprint as well it worked. I never used a diagonal blueprint before.

It displayed "out of big-electric-pole" message and tried to place normal big poles, which were not in the train storage.

Thanks for the great mod.

Had no blueprints. Do I need to use them for this? if so, why have/need the 'place walls' checkbox? off to look at demo map

Yes for walls you need blueprints. Reasoning behind having an extra option is so that it's enough to have 1 blueprint layout with walls. If you wan't to place the layout without them simply uncheck the option.

Hello, im having trouble with FARL 0.5.24 and i get this error when i want to blueprint the track train is on.


I myself cannot blueprint the tracks since they arent detected by blueprints. Any help?

Edit: Just updated to the newest one (0.5.25) and now my FARL locomotive is gone. Command: /c remote.call("farl", "reset") doesnt work (Unknown interface: farl)

What Factorio version? I guess you are on 0.12.31 which has a few bugs with blueprints

0.5.25 requires Factorio 0.12.32 (should be available on steam shortly), if you are on 0.12.31 or lower Factorio will disable FARL without telling you.

That would make sense, Im not sure what game version i am on but i havent seen it update earlier today and i have been playing for couple hours. Do you think that the game update will fix me not being able to blueprint rails themself?

Updated to 0.12.32 and error is still there when i try to blueprint a section of my track.
