Yep

[sly tundra]

Yes but you need to check the category on your equipment and your armor is correct

[true torrent]

would Type be what's considered to be the category

[sly tundra]

No

Check ingame

In the prototype Explorer

[true torrent]

equpment used to work by doing the same as armour i belive

[sly tundra]

Or check how base mod does it

Also read my porting guide 😛

#mod-dev-showcase message

[true torrent]

yea i have no clue to what category i have to set, check or change

[sly tundra]

well they just have to match

so check your equipment items in the ingame prototype explorer

and check the armor you want them to go in, in the ingame prototype explorer

[true torrent]

and i used ther git page to match the 2 yet i see no diffrences

[sly tundra]

and see if the categories match

Check ingame - source of truth

[true torrent]

all i don't have is the factoriopedia

[sly tundra]

that's the equipment-category itself

Check your equipment ingame

and the armor ingame

[true torrent]

category is dam missiong tho how

[sly tundra]

find your equipment prototype in that GUI

[sly tundra]

in this pic - click "equipment"

then click on your equipment that isn't working

[sly tundra]

and see what it says the categories is

[true torrent]

category is set armour in the bottom and this is the same on all equipment

[sly tundra]

Open the page for the armor itself too

[true torrent]

is that not the second tab on that last image?

[sly tundra]

no

that's the EquipmentCategory

not the ArmorPrototype

The EquipmentCategory is the 'link' between EquipmentPrototype and ArmorPrototype

https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/prototypes/EquipmentCategory.html but it doesn't really do anything by itself

[sly tundra]

still need the Armor itself

[true torrent]

item

[sly tundra]

oh actually nvm

[sly tundra]

*The EquipmentCategory is the 'link' between EquipmentPrototype and EquipmentGridPrototype

You're right, the EquipmentGrid is what decides the equipment category, not the Armor

[sly tundra]

ok this all looks correct

[true torrent]

then why i have this issue

[sly tundra]

what does the armor tooltip say when it lists which equipment can be used in it?

does it list yours?

[true torrent]

fun part only the left over vanilla items

[sly tundra]

unrelated but weight = 10 + gram,

I think you want 10 * gram lol

[true torrent]

no i want it as light as i can

[sly tundra]

in case you're wondering those gram kg tons etc are just numbers

so instead of writing weight = 5000 you can write weight = 5 * kg

you can just write weight = 10 or weight = 1

[true torrent]

I would think that 2 relates to the rocket no as that is whast i have figured out on my own

[sly tundra]

yes this is related to the rocket launch capacities

[true torrent]

Thnaks for clearifying that one i'll tweak this deeper as i go on

still back to the issue if we can?

[sly tundra]

but weight = 10 + gram is nonsensical. Either write just a number weight = 10 (which already means 10 grams), or weight = 10 * gram or weight = 10 * grams to make it clear to the reader that you mean/intend it to be 10 grams and not 10 something-else

[sly tundra]

no idea, it is very weird

[true torrent]

the + or * as far I'm aware would increase the weight by the tiers

[sly tundra]

it's just maths

[true torrent]

i know

[sly tundra]

10 + gram = 11 (and is a weird/nonsensical way of writing it)

10 * gram = 10

[sly tundra]

can you show the ArmorPrototype actually, perhaps the armor is not correctly defined to use this specific equipment grid

[true torrent]

I'll Tweak that more as i fix the mod. still can we find a solution to the equipemnt?

[sly tundra]

this grid is 100x100. The one you showed in the prototype explorer is 10x10. Make sure you are checking the correct grid-prototype/armor-prototype exactly.

[true torrent]

nether of the tiers works so i don't see why that would be a problem yet if it even is one at all equipment

[true torrent]

what you asked for is that already shown in one of the images already posted?

[sly tundra]

no

None of your images show the Armor item itself

Maybe it is just under "Item" in the prototype explorer

[sly tundra]

yep thanks

so it is using par-a1-equipment-grid

[sly tundra]

which has equipment categories containing armor

[true torrent]

since that was the mk 1 too

[sly tundra]

and yet, it does not accept this equipment, which has category armor

[true torrent]

yep

[sly tundra]

I am flummoxed

[true torrent]

i can show in VC when you are not as busy

[sly tundra]

I've seen everything I need

and I've just realised what is wrong 😂

Renamed ItemPrototype::placed_as_equipment_result to place_as_equipment_result to match the runtime name.
You should read the changelog more carefully

Your equipment items aren't correctly defining the equipments that they create

So the equipments exist but there's no items that can be used to place them

[true torrent]

like the mod worked fine in 1.1 so if nothing changed in 2.0 regarding this then it should of work i would believe

[sly tundra]

Things did change

You need to replace placed_as_equipment_result with place_as_equipment_result in all your code

Also you should read and do Step 7 of my guide - https://gist.github.com/tburrows13/687f7dc86da1840624575ba437e86cfa#7-clean-up-loose-ends

That would have flagged this up too

[sly tundra]

Since all your items would be defining placed_as_equipment_result and the game would log a warning saying something like

[true torrent]

haven't slept yet

this bug as benn bugging me

[sly tundra]

and then you'd think "huh, why isn't placed_as_equipment_result being used? I need it to be used. Let me check the changelog to see if it was renamed/removed"

Well follow step 7 and you'll probably pre-emptively fix some other bugs

[true torrent]

Thanks for this a lot tho would you be able to guide me bit better when it comes to doing guide Remove hr_version as i I'm worried that i break some of the generative code structure that has the Mipmap integrated and HR

[sly tundra]

mipmaps - just delete every icon_mipmaps = X thing

it doesn't do anything anymore

[true torrent]

yea that is not as easy since my icon_mipmaps is 256, 4, tier

which is having the icon size too

[sly tundra]

huh?

[sly tundra]

oh

[true torrent]

if Im not wrong tho

[sly tundra]

well you can just leave it as-is, it isn't harming anything

[true torrent]

ok

[sly tundra]

hr_version only applies to actual graphics, not icons

[sly tundra]

yeah, it warns but it doesn't actually matter

you could edit create_equipment_icon function to not set icon_mipmaps

[true torrent]

yea i think some need fixing but i ain't sure what yet tho is has to to with icon.

[sly tundra]

yeah that's nothing to do with hr_version

[true torrent]

no... not

[sly tundra]

that's the icon layers changes that I was just talking to Exfret about in #mod-dev-help

also - better to go back to that channel - then others can help too

[true torrent]

still HR and mip

[sly tundra]

Please ask in #mod-dev-help

I'm not your designated helper

They don't/won't

thread discoverability is poor

and there's no point having a thread for disjointed things

if it is in a thread, and I am the only person in the thread, then I feel obligated to answer because no one else will see it, which I don't like
