The HeroTurrets mod allows them to level up, just like in C&C. but installing both mods makes me unable to start factorio, it tells me to disable heroturrets.

Error loading mods
Failed to load mods: Error while loading entity prototype "hero-turret-1-for-soviet-tesla-coil" (electric-turret): Different frame counts (expected 32, but has 1) in animation layers of heroturrets/graphics/entity/turret/hero-1-base.png in property tree at ROOT.electric-turret.hero-turret-1-for-soviet-tesla-coil.base_picture.layers[3]

It seems to me that the author of hero turrets needs to add support for animated base sprites, making these coils compatible would break the animations on the Tesla coils.

incompatibility with "HeroTurrets." That sounds familiar ^^

the easiest way for the Soviet-Tesla-Coils is to add a mod check that checks if Hero Turrets is active.

If it is active, the code area with the animated sprites is skipped. At least that's how I solved it in one of my mods.

Yeah I saw the easy way but that would compromise the animations, the ideal solution would be to get my frame count and insert it into the repeat count somehow.

Casishur Hero turrets will support your original animations now I believe as it now checks for frame count.

Has this been resolved? I have both this mod and Hero Turrets installed and the turrets do not level up. Perhaps this is the wrong forum, but it seems to be related to not working well with one another. Please post if anyone else is having the save issue.

This issue was solved a while ago.
