Really cool idea for a mod, definitely worth checking out! Thanks for uploading!

[GameCharmer]

My first attempt at modding a mod is to make this compatible with the stainless steel wagons mod. I came up with the following, which does make the controls show up and function for the new wagon, but it will only effect the first 3 rows, despice returning the full 17.

Code: Select all

-- TODO: Implement Car, Tank when those get API support
function getRows(player)
	if player.opened.type == "cargo-wagon" then
        return 3
	elseif player.opened.type == "stainless-steel-wagon" then
		return 17
    else
        return nil
    end
end

-- TODO: Add Car, Tank when those get API support (or we get API support for detecting this programatically)
function canFilter(obj)
	if obj.type == "cargo-wagon" then
		return true
	elseif obj.type == "stainless-steel-wagon" then
		return true
	else
		return false
	end
end

Any ideas?

player.opened.type calls for a type. stainless-steel-wagon is not a type but a name. It is however a type cargo-wagon so first 3 rows will work as is specified in the code.
You have to include the name in the statement somehow. I am not familiar with factorio methods but maybe try something along these lines:

Code: Select all

function getRows(player)
   if player.opened.type == "cargo-wagon" then
        if player.opened.name == "cargo-wagon"then
            return 3
        elseif player.opened.name == "stainless-steel-wagon" then
            return 17
        else
            return nil
        end
    end
end

[GameCharmer]

That worked perfectly! Thanks so much for your help!

[fcaf]

I'd love a pull request implementing non-built-in cargo wagons! I had a hard time figuring out how to determine the capacity of a container, but I'm sure it's possible.

You're welcome

Very nice mod and idea. I have always thought it was a pain to manually filter slots in stuff, this is really nice and makes it way easier.
Definitely doing spotlight on this.

[GameCharmer]

Definitely a massive help. The stainless steel wagons have 170 slots, so it takes forever to set filters on all of them.

A friend of mine and I are playing a multiplayer game with your mod, and whenever one of us uses the functions at the top to change the filters, it causes a desync loop. This is in any container, or inserter, etc, that this works on. Not sure why this would be happening, but it is.

same here

[fcaf]

I can confirm the desync issue, but have no idea why it's happening. Is there a guide somewhere that explains how to diagnose desync issues?

[Natfrac42]

I have a feeling i am just being a complete moron about this but i have installed this mod and the gui doesn't appear when I open a cargo wagon or a requester chest. I thought it may be to do with one of the mods i am using so i downloaded a fresh version of factorio (0.12.20) and installed it on there but the gui still doesn't appear. Any help???

[Natfrac42]

Ok so after playing around with debug messages trying to figure it out, it randomly works again!!!

No idea why

Hello,

accidentally I tried to create a request from a blueprint with 11 different items and the game crashed with the message

Code: Select all

Error while running the event handler: __FastFilterFill__/control.lua:290: Passed index is out of range

Any chance to get this updated to 0.13 I love this mod.

[Bi0nicM4n]

I managed to make this work in 0.13.20. It supports not only cargo wagons, but also cars and tanks now. This should do while the author is elsewhere.

Verified to run on v14.5 with only an update to the info.json
Thanks, I was about to update this myself but your code works just fine.

[Burny]

Hey, sorry for un-burying this thread but this mod is amazing. It still works for v0.15 by just editing the info.json, so I did!
