filename test.lua
2)require "test"
Also. I just noticed I use 32 bit zip package (usb memory stick) in 64 bit Win 7. Seems to work fine overall.

So I fixed it, it returns error message instead of the crash.

I would like to add that remote calling this also cause a crash.
test.lua were in both, Win32 and mod's folder.
test.lua: creates local table, adds some functions to table and returns the table.
Code: Select all
remote.addinterface("console++",
{
test = function()
return require("test")
end
})test.lua: creates local table, adds some functions to table and returns the table.

Thanks for noticing. These corner cases are pretty annoyingrk84 wrote:I would like to add that remote calling this also cause a crash.test.lua were in both, Win32 and mod's folder.Code: Select all

So I checked it now -- After kovarex's change the crash disappeared even with the remote.call scenario. On the other hand when remote.call was used from a mod, requires used in the interface would almost never work as intended. So I changed the error message and completely disabled requires in interfaces for 0.9.2

This is starting to be more of interface bug report than require, but still I will continue here.
there is problem when returning function(s) in interface. I remote call these in console. Returning number or string or number/string in table works, but functions do not.
This gives error "attempt to index a string value"
This returns string "test"

from https://forums.factorio.com/wiki/inde ... interfaces
The interface functions can take only primitive types and tables as variables. The same holds for return values. The reason for this is that the scripts are running in different lua states and there is no easy way of passing more elaborate data (functions, rich Factorio objects - Lua Entity, etc.) around. Passing simple function callbacks is very powerful mechanism and might be implemented in some way in the future.
