The idea of this repo is to provide the rendering functionality as a standalone CLI tool so please feel free to open a PR to fix this!
You did compile it yourself from the current main branch state right? The last release I did is quite old now.
I think the best way to go about this is to change the call that generates the ModList
from generate
to generate_custom
here:
https://github.com/fgardt/factorio-scanner/blob/7c40c5b70a97f03c93a3e0a47fc1fa607bd3984a/scanner/src/lib.rs#L338
You'd also need to change the targeted folder for downloading missing mods here: https://github.com/fgardt/factorio-scanner/blob/7c40c5b70a97f03c93a3e0a47fc1fa607bd3984a/scanner/src/lib.rs#L374
Providing the correct path to these 2 spots should do the trick I think.
Hi! This seems like a cool project. As far as I understand things, you're writing your own blueprint renderer because you want to be able to support mods, which the other renderers (Teoxoy's and FBSR — are there any others) don't. I like that yours is written in Rust which seems to offer more options for portability.
I tried to get this running on my Mac but first ran into the following error:
After a long interlude trying to figure out why location information for the OS error wasn't showing up* and digging into the internals of error_stack and thiserror, I traced the error to this line:
https://github.com/fgardt/factorio-scanner/blob/eada07a0a7c3f553366a9b6c88c522a17757b38f/mod_util/src/mod_list.rs#L194
factorio-scanner assumes that the "data" and "mods" folders are colocated within the same directory, which isn't the case on Mac: https://wiki.factorio.com/Application_directory
I know the instructions say "Download the archive/portable version of factorio for your platform" but there is no such version for Mac.
If you're open to making changes to this package that generalize it a little beyond your current use case (I know you have the Blueprint Radar discord bot, I'm not sure if you have any other plans for it), I can send you a pull request to fix this issue.
