@Naplucia

checked Aeon ACU (All ACUs are functioning properly)

@JQtwo

checked Scavenger (It's working, and the damage has also been addressed)

@Spyder1495

checked Experimental Mobile Factory (It is by design that the Fatboy does not have a factory or a landing platform.)

The mod is also tested in multiplayer and shows no desyncs.
To check if the mod is in a good state, see the game.log.

I don't generally play Aeon, but I tried it last Friday and the spoilsports i played with shut me down before I could build one.

It's a whole new Friday though. Lets do this.

Version 15:

Fix scoreboard layout on scale

The latest version of BrewLAN is fully compatible with FAF. I've used it plenty of times.

@Uveso That's the best news I've heard in a while！ I will test it soon, thanks for your great work, best wishes!

Hello everyone,
Its time for the next Development Report of this Project.
Today I want to give you an Overview of the new Drop Turrets and Devices Section of the Fire Support Manager.

Drop Turrets and Devices Section (All Factions):

7e64423e-ec4e-4ec8-b0a2-a79ee8053b03-image.png

0059fe12-ad6d-4d17-ad68-f7688a31fd6b-image.png

7a021c2d-9df3-4d75-a2fd-107fed3e0b83-image.png

Each Faction can call 3 Units in this Section:
Of course there are unique for each Faction and have differences.

Drop Turret Drop Beam Turret Drop Supply Station

Each of them has access to Enhancement Upgrades to Improve their Fire Power, give them more Weapons or Abilities and a few of them can change their Gameplay. They are not buildable by Engineers or SACU's. So they are only callable by this Section.

Of course a new Lobby Option to Manage the Access to make them callable or not has been added as well:

Compared to the other 3 factions the Seraphim are using an interesting Concept.
All 3 Units are Tripods (Walkers) which have access to these two Modes:

Movable Stationary

You can switch both Modes with an specific Toggle Button.
So you can use these Units as Movable Land Units or as Stationary Defenses
Once called all 3 Units are coming from the Orbit with an nice Drop Arrival Sequence.
They are coming with 5000 Health.
If you want to increase their Health to 15000 you will need to install the Armor Upgrade
However this Upgrade will force all 3 Units to switch to Stationary Mode.
Once the Armor Upgrade is completed the Units will loses the access to the Movable Mode.
But you can install the Movable Mode Upgrade to remove the Armor to get the access Back.

Several new callabe Air Strikes are coming to the Fire Support Manager soon.
So the next Development Report will be focused on it and will show you several new Air Units as well.
Stay tuned for it and see you soon. Good Hunting Commanders

@magge I don't think so either, but I tried another approach of listening in on the OnCommandIssued event. This would not include every single click, but maybe that is a good thing? Curious if you or someone else can see something I don't here, before I go too far down this road.

This is a simple test, but it does correctly logs the current APM over the last minute. Multiple commands given at once counts as one action, but we could still aggregate that data and a lot more, if it could be interesting in the statistics.

APM_1.zip if you want to try, but this is really all it does right now:

INFO: Current APM: 6 .. Total actions: 6 .. Total commands: 20 INFO: apmlog: { INFO: - 21.650968551636: { INFO: - - AggressiveMove: 1 INFO: - } INFO: - 4.588408946991: { INFO: - - BuildMobile: 1 INFO: - - None: 1 INFO: - } INFO: - 6.1044588088989: { INFO: - - Move: 1 INFO: - } INFO: - 6.5816397666931: { INFO: - - Move: 1 INFO: - } INFO: - 5.6394691467285: { INFO: - - Move: 1 INFO: - } INFO: - 9.7966756820679: { INFO: - - BuildMobile: 13 INFO: - - None: 1 INFO: - } INFO: }

@Ctrl-K Never had that problem but I suppose you are right, thanks!

@bronedooy It is great if you want to try! If you want to learn I will gladly guide you but I will also help you actually finish it. Feel free to send me a DM if you have specific questions

Not russian, I only know a few words (za zdarovye!) Your English is fine but if I miss something let me know

You are right btw, lets continue in the wish-a-mod topic. I will update it soon with a proper reply

https://forum.faforever.com/topic/8368/wish-a-mod-foundation

@bronedooy I am working on this mod, slowly, and it will include a list of useful functions like this, so it might be added there in the future. This mod is foucsed on more overarching changes to the arcitecture of how hotkeys work though, and also has a thousand other struggles I need to solve, so might be a while until you can use it.

I have had similar ideas however and we should be able to solve your problems seperately.

You inspired me to make a new thread for this purpose, feel free to post it there with some more details

https://forum.faforever.com/topic/8368/wish-a-mod-foundation

AFAIK, the developer needs an auth method for his tool and can request such credentials from server admin, but the developer seems busy or not interested to maintain the code, nor to make it open source. The 4on4 was not supported since quite some time, and other stuff was broken, too.

@Rama

It's an instant crash.

The game crashes and I see my desktop with a pop-up to close the crash report.

There are no indicators beforehand.

The log i posted was a crash for all ppl. no one could continue the game. I was first i think.

EDIT:
crash happend also for 3 of 8 ppl in a land / air map with default settings and 4 Mods.

LOW ACU
AI WAVE
+2

@ctrl-k I would be happy with your scoreboard as well

@arran Ah! That's right, I forgot the SMDs! For V4 they will have graduated from elemantary school, promise!

Casts, I know.. sorry about that 👼 You know what, I will write some YT comments and ask if they want to try it!

There was an entire balance patch dedicated to resolve your issue
https://patchnotes.faforever.com/pages/balance/2016/3655.html#tml
Enjoy

Though not with customization feature, that one is really for UI mod

@ZBC
Hey ZBC,
thank you so much for your hard Work to bring the classic Firey Explosions Mod to FAF.
Looking forward for upcoming Updates and you own Explosion Mod in the future.
Keep Up the good Work.
