It is a car, with zero in fuel and inventory storage. Mod that automatically placed fuel in any player build entities conflicted with it. { type = "car", name = "AI-spotlight-proxy", icon = "__AdvancedIllumination__/graphics/icons/spotlight.png", flags = {"placeabl...

Tested with both "car" and "player" types, everything seems like you said :) Light is about 40 tiles long (its planned to be possible even bigger), when testing with "player"-type it disappears almost immediately, with "car" - about 15-20 tiles off-screen befo...

When entity that has "oriented" light moves beyond the visible area (or screen zooms-in leaving entity outside) the light disappear, even if light directed to the center of the screen.
Petty wired I can say, I do understand that it was done for simplicity but still weird.

This is a minor issue. entity.caninsert() returns true despite the fact that entity's inventory is zero sized. Workaround code: if entity.caninsert{name=item_name, count=count} then entity.insert{name=item_name, count=1} -- the real test if entity.getinventory(defines.inventory.fuel).getitemcount(it...

Could you post a video/screenshot with debug information enabled?
Just press F5 in game to show it - this will surely help the devs.

Creepy indeed... Some sort of alternative world visualizer, like for DwarfFortresses?

True. Wasn't an issue until DyTech was split to 10+ separate mods.
Anyway it is now logged, whatever it is

Basically this comes to two new events - onpoweredup and onpowereddown , both provide entity object that was turned on or off and the tick value to track how many objects to process per tick from lua. Bonus points if events will come in order of increasing distance from power source, for a nice casc...

I would consider scroll position reset in the mods list as bug, and it's quite annoying one if you have lots of mods and want to turn off few of those that are at the bottom of the list.
For inventory it is OK to reset scroll.

The problem is - the slot was already filled with wood. So no, not as intended.
I seen this behavior for myself.

...and breaks the others. While it may be intended for reasons unknown, it certainly hinders the modding. Teleport() resets orientation/direction of some entities (car, player), if someone wanted to reset the entity's orientation he would either set it explicitly or recreate the entity. Another prob...

This "mod" is very very curious in terms of undocumented API, " walkingstate "...finally I found a way to rotate a player-type entity, some RTS-like mods may use it in near future. " driving " & " ridingstate " are another interesting thing, at very least ...

There is not and that would be great. If you want a good way to do it without lots of individual item have a look at CleanPipes mod, it uses inserters for the direction arrow then places the correct pipe. You could also use a gui to set the colour, this means you would only need 1 item to place all...

Still not understood: a random seed has nothing to do with the settings of a map. It's like a password and the salt. My mod can use that salt/seed for procedural generation, in fact it already doing so, but seed it uses is generated from tile data, it equivalent to map seed in same way, but it's no...

Wow, I was just beginning to work on my searchlight mod and saw this thread, is there is already such mod in the work?
I was planing to create several omni-directional spotlights with at least 3 colors each, and an additional "wide" type of spotlights.

Commands to delete gui elements should be ok. But how there can be a clear up function in onsave handler. My mod was compleatly removed so none of my code will be executed. If you want to turn my mod off or delete it you should use your intelligence and first hide timebuttons and after that save ga...

A simple mod that shows in-game time and how much time has passed since the game was started. Location of display, what in shows and how it shows it are configurable from within game, see configuration spoiler for details. Mod can be removed at any time and it will not left any orphan gui elements. ...

How to delete it, because it's start to be annoying. Type one by one in the console: game.player.gui.top.blank1.destroy() game.player.gui.top.blank2.destroy() game.player.gui.top.tb_frame.destroy() game.player.gui.top.time_frame.destroy() game.player.gui.top.menu_tb.destroy() game.player.gui.top.li...

I think error() has it use if you expect an error and know what parameter/condition can cause it, but most of the time you can do little for an unexpected error. You'll need to place an error() call in method of interest (along with xpcall to catch and print stack trace) then reproduce the error and...

What the title says. Right now there is only little window with point of error, nothing else is provided. It is frustrating to have refined code, with high amount of different small specialized methods only to find that such code is very hard to debug. In such code point of original error has little...
