Refactor project to be usable as git submodule about factorio-stdlib HOT 6 CLOSED

Can you be a bit more specific about what you are looking for? You want stdlib/ to become the root directory of the project?

Sorry, I was in a hurry ;-)

When I include this repo as a git submodule in my mod's root directory, I get:

mojo-ressource-processing
-Factorio-Sdtlib/stdlib
-control.lua
-...

I can "require" stdlib/*.lua in my control.lua file by using: require("Factorio-Stdlib/stdlib/area/chunk.lua"). This will work. But the chunk.lua itself requires just "stdlib/core", which LUA won't find!

I'm not aware of setting the "base path" or anything like to tell LUA to start looking for lua scripts starting from this point.

Currently I have to move the "stdlib" folder to my root directory. Then all works fine.

But this doesn't allow me to use it as a git submodule :-/

What I generally do is put any submodules in a 'deps' directory then symlink what I need from them to the main project area when things work like that. Thus just a symlink to ./stdlib from ./deps/Factorio-Stdlib/stdlib works fine, then just store that link in git too.

The problem is, that windows users then can't checkout my mod.
Currently I play with a friend of mine, and each time we play I ask him to git pull. but that won't work in that case.

They should be able to as long as they are Windows 7 or higher. NTFS has symlink support in it since then. If distributed as a zip then no issues regardless as that is packed however your packing script works.

Ok works quite well :-) you can close this issue. Thanks for the help
