Factorio train management mod.

thefatcontroller's Issues

Error/Desync when clicking UI (Trains +/-)

Also seems to do this when starting/stopping FARL

Get a message right before the desync:
do local var={element={__self="userdata: 0x4######"},name=1,player_index=1,tick=######};return var;end

If any further info is needed, will be happy to provide it.

Error on startup (mod conflict)

Current.log https://pastebin.com/s5naGAEs

error with 0.16.22 :

Dependencies

its saying it needs Logistics Railways in dependencies is this correct?

fix topstring when train is at a signal and a train in front moves

Stuck in "ghost mode" ?

I got killed while following a train in TFC. Now I'm stuck in ghots mode, I can interact with things but I move at super speed, and don't see the player. How can i get out of this? :(

Hotkey to toggle gui

Default F ?

Translation changes

If i remember, commits that change/add local keys will reference that issue

GUI collisions with other mods

I also use LTN Tracker and Todo List which also add GUI elements to the (top) left of the screen.

If I have LTN Tracker and Todo List open at the same time, then the GUIs are shown side-by-side and everything works fine. If I open either of those GUIs and TheFatController at the same time, then the two windows merge and TFC's GUI takes on the width of the other mod's window, seemingly becoming the lower half of that window.

Trains build with the Train construction site mod are not being listed

when i use Train construction site mod the trains being build with the mod are not being listed in the train list, while older trains before i installed the mod are just being listed fine

Also i am getting the following lua error

MP DeSync issue when remote viewing + new connection

This is not thoroughly tested as there are a million other mods installed also. using latest Factorio and Fat Controller (as well as all the other train mods you have :)

DeSync issue only happens If you are remotely viewing a train and someone connects to you. All other times the remote viewing works fine.

Feature Request - GUI main Replace text button with icon button

Just a friendly reminder for when you feel like getting around to it. I wouldn't even be opposed to it being as simple as the train recipe icon. This is the last mod that I use that needs gui updating. Well except for shuttle train but I don't use it enough so I might get rid of it.

Thanks again!

Currently FAT only cares about trains on the nauvis surface

Error when exiting cargo section of a train

Latest Factorio Experimental

I was catching a train as it was leaving the station and ended up in the cargo section (no big deal), however when I exited the train TFC spew out an error.
Afterwards whenever I tried to open the GUI it would again throw an error.
Found this in the log:

stack traceback:
\9__TheFatController__/GUI.lua:631: in function '?'
\9__TheFatController__/GUI.lua:323: in function <__TheFatController__/GUI.lua:310>
\9[C]: in function 'pcall'
\9__TheFatController__/GUI.lua:310: in function <__TheFatController__/GUI.lua:309>";return _;end

Merge changelogs

The changelog in the README hasn't been updated since 3.0.0 which can be a bit confusing given Github renders the README on the repo homepage.

Line 295, found and fixed and error locally

I changed this line of code after loading a save and it saying that guisettings were nil. Thought you might want to add it to the repo.

Line 295
global.guisettings ~= nil and
was added before
global.guisettings[i]

I did it as a quick fix, not sure of the reprecoussions yet. but thought you might like to take a look

.16 Update

Is this mod still maintained? Is the any plan to update it to .16. Thanks really like this mod

Character can only be connected to one player at Time

After shortly remotely controlling a train i now get this chat spam
__TheFatController__ /controll.lua:823: Character can only be connected to one player at a time

running version 0.12.29 of factorio and version 0.3.15 of Fat controller

double check whether stationcount gets updated properly

Feature Request - Send to station button

I might fork and add it in so putting it here as a reminder :)

On the train list have an arrow button that opens a list of stations and send the train to the station you click on. Akin to Shuttle Train behavior but not a replacement for Shuttle Train.

Things to check for:
If train starts from manual mode restore manual mode upon arrival.
if stop is not in trains schedule and train was in auto set to manual upon arrival
if train is in auto and stop is in schedule leave in auto (we can use fat control to put into manual first if we need too)
remove stop from schedule if not originally in schedule? Other possibilty is to leave it and build route dynamically this way, maybe a checkbox in send to stop screen. Why is nothing ever simple :)

Outdated versions

The latest version on factoriomods.com is 0.2.4; the latest version here is 0.4.14

Enhancment - Replace fake train viewer with Camera gui element

Would allow you to get rid of the fake player and all bugs associated with it. Example code below,

local function get_or_create_camera(player, factory)
    local gui = player.gui.goal.factory_camera
    if not gui then
        gui = player.gui.goal.add{
            type = "camera",
            name = "factory_camera",
            position={x=factory.inside_x,y= factory.inside_y},
            surface_index = factory.inside_surface.index
        }
    else
        gui.position={x=factory.inside_x, y=factory.inside_y}
        gui.surface_index = factory.inside_surface.index
    end
    gui.style.minimal_width= 300
    gui.style.minimal_height = 300
    return gui
end

local function destroy_camera(player)
    local gui = player.gui.goal.factory_camera
    return gui and gui.destroy()
end
