Hello, again a small addition for the people who use my units in the single mods. These mods will not be extended or updated by me anymore, only the modpack will be maintained by me.

Furthermore CDRMV has the permission from me to use the units in their mods. If you are interested, please contact me in this post. I will try to answer you.

Hello everyone,
today I want to present you a new Update related to the Unit Pack of this Project:

Commander Survival Kit Units (CSK Units)
This Unit pack is currently available in Early Access on my Github Repository only, because it is still in Development.

3 New Techlevels:

The Mod expands the Game with 3 new Techlevels which are called:

Elite Hero Titan

Overview:
Elite Units are basically the large Tech 3 Super Heavy Units
Hero Units are Heros of the Factions such as Brackman, Colonel Arnold and so on. Including with a few new ones by myself.
Titan Units are basically super Experimentals for example the Avalance from Total Mayhem

New Cooperation Units by Cory Freeman:
I have successfully Contact Cory Freeman a 3D Artist on Artstation who had Work on two Unit Pack Mods. One for Supreme Commander Forged Alliance and the other one for Supreme Commander 2 in Detail. However both never had reached the Final Stage for an Release and has been scrapped. I have ask him to get the full Permission to Get, Edit and Use these Models for the Commander Survival Kit Project. He gave me the Permission and has send the Model Files which where created in 3D Max and I have found an Blender Plugin to Open .max Files in Blender.

So his Models will finally see the Light of the World in the Commander Survial Kit Project. Several Models are excellent and their Parts can be used for several other new Designs and Units in the future. 😉

Here is the First Wave of them:

'Bronx Mark IV' - Cybran Elite Super Heavy Tank
A large armored Heavy Tank, which is armed with an 3 Barrel Proton Cannon Turret. It comes with 3 additional Secondary Rapid Fire Impulse Laser Turrets, which have two Barrels. The Tank is currently buildable by Tech 3 Engineers or SACU's but this will be changed with the introduction of the Elite Factories later.

'T-7C Icrarus' - UEF Tech 3 Armored Support Amphibious Tank

With the Model of the Bronx Mark IV I have create already several nice looking Vehicles for the Cybrans
For example the:

'Bronx Mark I' - Tech 1 Light Tank

Of course more Cybran Vehicles are coming soon 🙂

For the players and fans of Heldivers 2 among you,
I also have something to show you as well

'Emancipator' - UEF Tech 3 Multifunctional Support Bot

These Units are now available in Early Access on GitHub and included in the Mod: Commander Survival Kit Units (short CSK Units).

Commander Survival Kit Version 2.0.2:
The next upcoming Version 2.0.2 of the Commander Survival Kit will be released soon. It will contains alot of Bug Fixes for the FAF Version of the Game, The first supported Language Translation: German (Localization) A few new callable things and Improvements
However that is not all Version 2.0.2 will be available on the FAF Modvault as well. The previous Version was simple to large to upload it on the FAF Modvault and I was able to reduce the Size of the Mod from 710 MB to 336 MB by removing two Folders which where no longer be needed. The FAF Modvault has an upload Limit for Mods of 200MB so if there are larger they will be not uploaded. Version 2.0.2 is with nearly 51 MB if compressed below of this Limit, which makes the Upload functional again.

Two new upcoming Submods:

Commander Survival Kit Tutorials:
6d526b63-b8fb-46de-880c-bae4f4ccc77f-Icon.png
The Tutorial Videos of the Helpcenter for both Managers will be included in their own small Submod which is called: Commander Survival Kit Tutorials. So the Helpcenter will be usually not available if you don't activate this Submod next to of the Commander Survival Kit.

Commander Survival Kit Timeos:
d966d0a8-fc1d-43f8-8502-ae761336fd0f-Icon.png
This is a new small Standalone Mod, which introduce 3 new Lobby Options into the Game.
The Player will be able to set the Wait Times, when these following Techlevels will be unlocked:

Tech 2, Tech 3 and Experimental
Elite, Hero and Titan will be supported later if CSK Units is released

9df05dd5-e2f7-4b81-8dcd-f1f34e1984a2-image.png

You will be able to set the Wait Times from 5 Minutes to 2 Hours

How does this Mod works:
The Player and the AI will start with Tech 1 first.
The other Techlevels will be unlocked once their specific Wait Times are exceeded.

To know which Techlevel will be unlocked next you can see it with this small Panel next to of the Economy Panel.
It shows the new Techlevel and the Gametime when this Techlevel is going to be unlocked.

CSK Timeos is currently available on my Github Repository as Early Access for Testing and will be released on Moddb and on the FAF Modvault soon. It works with the Vanilla AIs, M28, AI-Uveso and more.

Stay tuned for upcoming Updates and the Annoucement of the Releases.
Best regards
CDRMV

I second that come join the discord
https://discord.gg/mXahVSKGVb
it's more active over there with people that can help, I have personally made many models for faf and discord is my preferred way to provide help

Call it what you will, its still the fact of a subscription for a mod.
Another issue is that if you are "selling" the mod i actually expect support for the mod. I hate to say it but your history shows you dont really update the mods based on feedback (no, i am not talking about guess elo).

Also not a huge fan of the fact you edit the main post which was upvoted for "hype" reason and not mentioned a paywall or whatever you call it. And now its showing your Boosty as if people upvoted that. Regardless if people find it good or not its just the fact that the up or downvotes where for something else

This idea worked out better than I thought it would.

I wanted to create a unit that filled the function of a direct fire exp for the uef as the fatty is less than useful in this role.

So I came up with this.
dfghjtdjyrs.jpg

The UEF ACU is a highly detailed unit and looks great at a larger scale and reminds me of gypsy danger from pacific rim.

The unit has 45k health with 40k shield twin blasters that shoot larger percy projectiles, its also armed with a sub nuke that launches from its backpack.

It costs the same as a GC and has very similar dps but overall loses in a 1v1 with a GC as it has a recharging shield and can launch nukes.

Looks awesome.

@Haribo for anybody here looking for the anwser you have to open the game menu (f10) and click "ui mod options"

If it's not there you probably haven't got the dependable ui mod installed and active

@Reckless_Charger I started studying and entered the settings file on the way. C:\Users%user%\AppData\Local\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\Game.prefs Right? Next, I haven't been able to complete your item yet, there seems to be a User actions item, but at this point I need your help. Should I write here?

Allow a dead team mate acu to respawn from quantum gateway.

After several hours of debugging, I was unable to fix the issue.
Even after re-enabling the weapon, it only fires when aiming southwest. In all other directions, it does not fire.

This is similar to the issue with drones: the code technically works, but the result is flawed without throwing any errors.

At this point, only Jip can help.

@DJ_Calaco

thanks for reporting this.

(fixed in next version)

@SiX_of_SeVeN said in HotBuild Overhaul:

Hi @Ctrl-K any change you still have this project in mind? To add Orders to HotBuild list? I fully understand if this is not any of your priorities, just checking. Tnx.

@Ctrl-K New Year, new chance 🙂 thanks!

Hello! @czqawa mod is only a base for other mods to expand it. Right now there are Factory Templates and Enhancements extensions, plus one for debugging the game. I'm not planning adding more just yet, because I'm busy with other project.

@JamCrumpet I'm sorry that I didn't solve your problem, but I still need to explain it further.
As I mentioned at the beginning of my post, the latest v13 version of the RK-s-Explosions Mod needs to be downloaded from the author's github, not moddb, and not faforever. my solution is also for the problem that exists with v13, not v12.

@magge here this game.log game_23906880.log

@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.
