HelicopterRevival


Adds a fully animated attack helicopter to the game. Ideal for getting from A to B quickly, exploring the map, building islands and nuking biters from the sky. Originally forked from Kumpu with fixes for Factorio 0.18.2+, but adding some enhancements of my own as well.

g ✅ [fixed] GUI disappeared and ❌[cantfix] preview missing

2 months ago

hi there,

after your latest update the gui has disappeared and i cannot find a way to turn it back on...?! the thick frame around it is still there, but tiny, with nothing in it.
picking up and placing heli, getting in and flying myself, shift-G - nothing helps. also the heli sprites in the window (inventory etc.) that opens when you click on the heli seems bugged - the heli is not rendering at all, only the fuel alert sign is showing when empty...

anything i could supply to help? also - thanx btw., must-have mod! :)

Strange...
what other mods do you have with it? I've noticed none of those things in my testings...

Have you also tried disabling and enabling mod as well?

I'm pretty sure what happened. We forgot to migrate the actual equipment grid entity of the remote. It's probably missing in your armor now.

Also do you mean the entity preview window? Could you provide screenshots?

Aaaand I already fixed that bug so perhaps some ppl can evade it if they hadn't updated yet ^^

thx for the fast reaction. the missing remote in my armour was the culprit. but it still happens for me when loading a 0.4.2 save with your new 0.4.4 version!?!

Interesting. It should work, me and twilight tested it successfully.

And yeah the preview windows we can't fix ^^
That happens because the entity you click on has no graphics, the animation is done via some other sprite entity instead.
