after factorio update today, the mod doesnt load on game startup

A quick fix to get the game up and running, but will not have sound, is:

1. Unzip the mod;
2. Go to prototypes/item.lua;
3. Comment out these lines by placing a double hyphen (--) without the parenthesis behind these lines:

inventory_move_sound = item_sounds.drill_inventory_move,
pick_sound = item_sounds.drill_inventory_pickup,
drop_sound = item_sounds.drill_inventory_move,

Zip the mod and place it in the mods folder again.

I'm not a modder, but this should make the game playable while the author fixes the game.

Same here :(
Failed to load mods: ev-mining-drills/prototypes/item.lua:17: attempt to index global 'item_sounds' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
ev-mining-drills/prototypes/item.lua:17: in main chunk
[C]: in function 'require'
ev-mining-drills/data.lua:7: in main chunk

you can quick fix it with sound, change it to:

inventory_move_sound = data.raw["item"]["electric-mining-drill"].inventory_move_sound,
pick_sound = data.raw["item"]["electric-mining-drill"].pick_sound,
drop_sound = data.raw["item"]["electric-mining-drill"].drop_sound,

you can quick fix it with sound, change it to:

inventory_move_sound = data.raw["item"]["electric-mining-drill"].inventory_move_sound,
pick_sound = data.raw["item"]["electric-mining-drill"].pick_sound,
drop_sound = data.raw["item"]["electric-mining-drill"].drop_sound,

THX! it's work for me!

Here you are.

Version: 3.0.3

• Date: 2024.11.20

Modding:

• I'm currently aware of this bug that's affecting multiple mods at the same time, and trying to work on a solution.
• Since the Factorio steam version updates later than normal, I'll have to ask you to give me some feedback about this problem.
  (In other words, I can't replicate the bug by myself. I hope this update is enough to fix it.)
• The mod_name variable is now an internal variable of each mod instead of it being a global one.
  (Never caused any bug, but better prevent it from causing problems.)
• Now mining drill entities have a correct display in the blueprints and upgrade planners.

Here you are.
