Hey man think you can fix the The fat controller mod?

I looked into it; I can fix part of it but the Lua API removed the ability to insert people into trains in 0.16. Would need a redesign of how it works to fix that, which is outside the scope of a quick fix.

Honestly, if that would have to be disabled it'd be fine to me. I didn't use that feature as often and found more value in the rest of it. I'm working on seeing if I can at least fix it to load for myself, but I have very little programming experience and have never worked on the GUI before. :P

That functionality was used for other things as well; train mods had a tendency to create a virtual player to insert into trains to do various things. That's no longer possible, at least not directly.

Ok. I know I have it working (mostly) for myself now, so not as big of an issue to me. Only thing I can't seem to figure out at the moment is the options in the alarm settings window don't seem to save/be remembered. It doesn't seem to be throwing any errors that I can see, though, so I'm not sure where the problem is.

As a thought on the player controlling the train, I'm not sure what the Avatar mod is doing to allow control of created player characters or if this is a different game mechanic? Not sure if it was something worth looking at.

If it's checkboxes not saving, probably needs to have on_gui_checked_state_changed implemented; previously checkboxes would trigger on_gui_click for checkboxes as well, this is no longer the case.

Hmm, LuaEntity::passenger has been removed… but set_driver has been added, which seems to serve the same purpose?

set_driver and set_passenger don't work for trains. set_driver is only valid when the entity is a Vehicle, and set_passenger is only valid when the Vehicle is a Car(which encompasses both cars and tanks).

Somehow both a Train and it's associated carriages are not Vehicles, even though player.vehicle will return the carriage the player is inside.
