    In TpF1 the game cargo types were defined in game.config.cargotypes but that is no longer present in TpF2. I see the cargo types are defined in \res\config\cargo_types\ but how do I enumerate them in my mod? Previously it was as simple as

    Code
    for i=1,#game.config.cargotypes do


    but I'm not sure what to do in TpF2?

    You can't in TPF2. Its now like the other gameresources like vehicles where you have to register a modifier function where can apply changes. I have it not open currently but i think it was named "loadCargoType". Just search for the definition of all the possible modifiers of the game.

    Perhaps an example might help?


    Previously I was doing something like this:

    Code
    for i=1,#game.config.cargotypes do
	if (game.config.cargotypes[i].id == "MIXED_FODDER") then
		-- MIXED_FODDER cargo type has been defined, do something about it
	end
end

    Now how would I do a similar thing in TpF2?

    Lua
    addModifier("loadCargoType",
    function(fileName, data)
        -- write your code here
        return data
    end
)

    und die Parameter die die Rückruffunktion bekommt:

    OpenSource: thank you, that helps. But I'm still having problems with lua scoping issues.


    I'm currently trying to get the list of defined cargo types:

    Lua
    definedCargoTypes = {}
addModifier("loadCargoType", function(fileName, data)
	table.insert(definedCargoTypes, data)
	return data
end)
-- definedCargoTypes is empty here

    And it does indeed loop through the cargo types, add them into definedCargoTypes (if I check the value inside the anonymous function the table gets one entry longer each time), but when I want to do something with it on the next line beyond the addModifier call, the table is empty. What am I doing wrong?

    Different Lua States

    Lua
    definedCargoTypes = {}
print("before addModifier", definedCargoTypes , os.clock())
addModifier("loadCargoType", function(fileName, data)
 print("in addModifier", definedCargoTypes , os.clock())
 table.insert(definedCargoTypes, data)
 return data
end)
print("after addModifier", definedCargoTypes , os.clock())
-- definedCargoTypes is empty here
