⚠️ SearchlightAssault ⚠️


Adds a game map and searchlights which sweep for foes at great range, alerting you while directing adjacent turrets to snipe spotted foes. Designed to dovetail with the early-mid game, searchlights provide: - Circuit network interfaces for search & detection I/O - Incentive to automate lamp & combinator production in the early game - New tactics to assault biter bases without leap-frogging turrets!

b Crash on boost

2 years ago

Hello, I'm getting this error when searchlight detects enemies and tries to boost turrets nearby: https://i.imgur.com/qDBbg5G.png
What info can I provide to help? I have huge modlist. And couple of enemy-mods: Rampant, BobEnemies. Mb it can help.

Here's part of the log: https://pastebin.com/BU193A8T. There's nothing helpful.

It looks like another mod is doing weird things to turrets after it's been made.

Do you know which turret from which mod it is trying to boost?

You can send me your save / modlist here: bolderbrush10@gmail.com

I can try to figure out what the other mod is doing and code a workaround, maybe.

In the meanwhile, I'll work on something that will fix the crash, even if the other turret can't be boosted.

I have released version 1.0.2 which should at least fix the crash.
It should start to appear in the mod portal shortly.
If you don't see it in-game you can download it manually here: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/SearchlightAssault/downloads

Unfortunately same error. I'll send you "%AppData%\Factorio" dir. It can conflict with steamcloud, so...

I didn't get anything yet. Your %AppData% folder might have been too big for gmail if it was over 1 megabyte, maybe?

You can also try uploading it to https://anonfiles.com/ or some other file share

Oh, sorry I had to write "later", got busy for all day today. I'll send tomorrow (18 dec). Archive with dir takes 1.16Gb (7z, max available compression), I'm planning to upload it on google-drive. Dunno, maybe anonfiles provide more download speed?

google drive should be fine

There it is (on gmail). There's one save with modded turrets (but I tried vanilla too) and modded biters. Modlist might be configured.
Oh, and there's also searchlight from another mod that I used before.
