Feature Request - GMaps API key as configuration

[warmfusion]

Rather than having to hand-wrangle the index.html each time I export the map, can I provide the API key as part of the Advanced Configuration (and for it to persist) such that when the index is written out the key is automatically included?

As far as my experiments go, you just need to copy the image directory and keep the old index.html :)

Adding this feature through the new mod settings GUI as a per-user setting. That should allow you to set your key once and use is in every game! I'm liking these new mod settings in 0.15.

Noticed a bug with the new mod setting GUI. Please change the mod setting from the main menu only with NO game loaded. If you change the setting while a save is loaded then setting it isn't saved at all. I'm making a test mod show-casing the issue and will file a big report with Factorio devs in a little while.

Leaving this open until I hear back from the devs on a resolution.

[edit]
I made a goof and pulled the mod setting incorrectly. The in-game mod setting menu still shows the wrong config value but the settings actually are changed. This is a Factorio bug hopefully the devs will get it fixed.
