    I think you didnt consider some things regarding balance. You cant just give an entire faction speed or damage. Balance needs to exist in every category for any match up or 1v1 is simply unplayable. You cant just give air units of one factions more speed and then say "well they are just better at that". Sure there are units that are better than others but a faction needs to have some kind of answer to things. One faction having more speed on their asf would be massively busted and playing that faction for air would be the meta. But if you do want to do something like this yourself you can check out my casino mod (to see how its done) which uses unit buffs such as health, speed and damage

    I have created a mod that dumps unit information and economy information into the game log. It is on the vault called unit logger. I created some python code that runs multiple instances of FAF at once on a linux server with this mod enabled and goers through a folder full of replays at high gamespeed generating this data. I created a seperate python program to parse out the log into an unitfile displaying "GameTick,Army,EntityId,UnitId,FractionComplete,Position.x,Position.y,Position.z,MaxHealth,Health,ShieldRatio,IsIdle,MassKilled" and an economy file displaying GameTick,Army,lastUseRequested.MASS,lastUseRequested.ENERGY,lastUseActual.MASS,lastUseActual.ENERGY,stored.MASS,stored.ENERGY,income.MASS,income.ENERGY,maxStorage.MASS,maxStorage.ENERGY,reclaimed.MASS,reclaimed.ENERGY This was done a year ago or so. I have processed 659 replays creating 12GB of CSV files (compressed to ~ 300mb) of unit positions with time, player economies, and if players won or lost. From this data you can absolutley get insight into what units built at what time correlate to a win. If you would like this data please message me. https://forum.faforever.com/topic/7746/unit-logger-mod?_=1756499882431

    v302 Update New sim city mode - M28 handles giving combat units orders while you focus on ordering around engineers and deciding what factories will build. Available as part of the "M28: Combined AI-Human armies?" game settings (along with the MOBA mode) 3 changes based on AI survival replay, including making units less likely to suicide into an enemy firebase, and prompting if the players haven't allowed M28 full control of attack waves 17 changes for Cybran Mission 6, including making aircraft carriers run sooner from enemy naval threats, mobile sonar no longer receiving orders as though it is an amphibious unit, and gunships and torpedo bombers being more likely to attack a nearby enemy if it is too far forward from AA defences in the area (even if the AA defences are too much for a more general assault) Acknowledgements Rama - Highlighting M28 replay involving the AI survival mod

    @sodisodisodi / @thorolavs / @slowBro / @CatchThat / @GD / @Bolmagasa / @fredriklars / @Microships / @ruskul / @MadMax / @cusdom and everyone else that is interested in helping, your time has come! We had some unexpected delays, but now we have a clear task for you. Many of the cybran units need a (new) red channel for the specTeam texture. This channel controls the metalness of the shader. For most units it seems promising to use the blue channel of the albedo and play around with multiply and power operations until something decent comes out. Some albedos have a lot of inbaked lighting though - for example the factories - so you will not be able to avoid manual work sometimes. If you don't want to do that you can simply choose a different unit to work on that doesn't have this problem. It's important to note that the workable range of the final texture is 0 to 0.12, everything above that will already be 100% metal. You can go higher of course if you want to influence the standard shader more, but unless you know what you want to achieve I recommend to stick to that 0 to 0.12 range. One last thing: the green channel of the specTeam also influences metalness, although to a lesser degree, so be careful if you want to utilize that one to generate the red channel. The unit spreadsheet is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fN183a5AOHUyrKFobKA_HJRv1Yu5Tb5kfdSbVBLxYHk/edit#gid=520266576 You can find more info on how to work with the textures here https://github.com/FAForever/fa/issues/4394 and here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3yRGRf7iOQ&list=PL0nxuIUIjpFtGVBmP5TJTIJwhhlGtpXyo&index=4 If you have questions, feel free to reach out to me.

    We use git as storage, imho you just need to setup a workflow that commits to git.

    For the poor (or free) people, Kdenlive has a windows build now (and the newer builds seem stable from the people Ive recommended it to) and it can do a lot of nice things. For those wanting free photoshop and hated GIMP: have you either tried GIMP with the single window mode option ticked on the windows dropdown or gimpshop.

    I know this way. No, I need something else. When FAF starts the game from the client, it immediately opens the game in the multiplayer lobby. I want to do the same, but from the command line and with the transition to skirmish mode.

    Need help from any and all who see this. This is a very important pr for making it so that people who frequently cause matchmaker games to fail will be prevented from queuing for a certain period of time. https://github.com/FAForever/server/pull/885 It needs to be reviewed and tested. Hopefully I’ll find some time to organize this soonTM.

    FA crashed, but wasn't able to get the info from the pop up without force closing FA. Game crashed two games in a row, while I was building the Czar. I was playing in a 4 player survive map, black sun defense. Once I forced quit out of the game and error window, they were able to continue playing, but I was out of the game. I got the error: "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at address 0x0050dfd8 attempted to read memory at 0x0000005c" The unknown symbol portion that followed stated, 0x00423221. Included Log files below for the two games, in order. game_16353584.log game_16353686.log I appreciate any help!
