[MOD 0.15.x] The Fat Controller. Remote train manager 2.0.7

[BigDCowboys22]

I'm getting the following:

Fat Controller.jpg (30.45 KiB) Viewed 9349 times

Any advice how to fix it? Crashes the game when I load. Everything was working fine and then I started getting it all the sudden. If I disable the mod in-game the game runs fine, but obviously Fat Controller doesn't work then. Thanks!

What version of FatController and Factorio? I'm using 0.0.9/0.11.8 without problems.
My control.lua line 42 looks like this:

Code: Select all

glob.fatControllerButtons = game.players[1].gui.top.add({ type="flow", name="fatControllerButtons", direction="horizontal", style="fatcontroller_thin_flow"})

if yours is the same, try adding

Code: Select all

		if game.players[1].gui.top.fatControllerButtons ~= nil then
			game.players[1].gui.top.fatControllerButtons.destroy()
		end

above line 42

That doesn't make sense. Use current alpha!

Why it doesn't make sense? I use other Mods that doesnt updatet yet. So i have to play 0.11.1. Simple isnt it?

Sorry, this is the only version uploaded if you change the info.json file it might work with 11.1

Factorio version 11.8 and FatController version 0.09.

This fix worked like a charm. Thanks!

In 0.11.8, Factorio seems to crash every time I try and remote-control a train while hand-crafting something. No error message, just a hard ctd.
I assume it's not your fault since it's a hard crash. The work-around is obvious: Don't remote-control while hand-crafting is in progress.

Edit: Also in 0.11.10.

Updated to 0.11.4, single player game, a few seconds after loading an original 0.11.3 game (75 hours in)


Not entirely surprising, the error goes away after changing that to 'destroy'

I should probably learn to spell =)

Edit: also there are bugs in the current version when removing trains before removing them from TFC. I've fixed it for the next version

This error is still in 0.9

Simply change the distroy in line 131 to destroy and your good to go

I already did, I was merely noting that the fix isn't official yet.

The reason for that is the version I was last working on was a multiplayer rewrite with auto train management. I got most of the bugs fixed but never polished it up. So I never uploaded a version with the quick fix as the version I've been using is quite different from the version posted here.

In the 0.11.16:
Error while loading entity prototype "fatcontroller" (player): No such node (build_distance)
Modifications: TheFatController

Is there a way to fix it easily?

Ok, I figured it out myself
In the mod directory under the prototypes subfolder open the fatcontroller.lua file.
Under the "mining_categories..." line add the following:

Code: Select all

    
    build_distance = 0,
    drop_item_distance = 0,
    reach_distance = 0,
    reach_resource_distance = 0,
    ticks_to_keep_gun = 0,
    ticks_to_keep_aiming_direction = 0,

There is a new version with the fixes in it in the first post

Hello. I love your Mod a lot. I don't think I could play with trains without it.

I was wondering if it was possible to Name the Trains that are attached. For example I sometimes have multiple trains using the same stop etc and it becomes confusing to know what train is actually there.

Not sure if the modding API Supports something this in depth yet. Maybe even via a command.

[StanFear]

hey, I don't know how well unicode is supported by factorio, but if it is, maybe you could use emojies to start, control the train or others !

with for instance ▶to start ...

you can see all there : http://apps.timwhitlock.info/emoji/tables/unicode

[n9103]

Not sure why you'd need to go all the way to the high unicode range to add some basic symbols.
CP 437 should have what you'd need, and is *a lot* more likely to be supported, not just in Factorio, but in all circumstances.

Hey, not sure if anybody else has run into problems with the mod, I was getting the similar message as posted earlier on this page:

Code: Select all

Error while loading entity prototype "fatcontroller" (player): No such node (damage_hit_tint)
Modifications: TheFatController

I'm on 11.18

Adding the following line to the fatcontroller.lua file (after mining_categories if that matters) fixed it:

Code: Select all

damage_hit_tint = {r = 1, g = 0, b = 0, a = 0},

Looking forward to this. I really miss it since going MP with a friend.
