@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.

Hello everyone,
I hope you all had a wonderful, peaceful Christmas with your families.
We are slowly approaching the New Year and today I would like to present you a new Development Report of this project. I would also like to give you more information about the release of the next version of the Commander Survival Kit.

We'll start first with the information about the release of the next upcoming Version.

The Release of the next Version will also arrived in January or February 2025.
However as always the next Version in its current Development Stage can be downloaded already in Early Access on my Github Repository here:

https://github.com/CDRMV/Commander-Survival-Kit

So you can already enjoy the newest Features in Steam/Retail, FAF and LOUD.

Now we will switch to the new things, which have been added into the Mod recently:
The new Air Units, which will be presented below are already included in the offical Unit Pack of this Project.
Commander Survival Kit Units (short CSK Units)
So you can build and play them as regular Units as well in this Unit Pack
You can download CSK Units on my Github Repository as Early Access as well.

New callable Air Strikes
Each faction recently gained access to 3 new callable airstrikes
These are as follows:

Heavy Bomber Air Strike:
Heavy Bombers are basically large Carpet Bombers and are categorized as Tech 3 Air Units.
They Drop an specific Number of Bomb Capsules, which unleash an large amount of smaller Child Bombs.
These Child Bombs are the same, which are used by Tech 1 Bombers.
These Bombers are armed with more AA Cannons compared to an Tech 3 Strategic Bomber and have more Health. So a single Heavy Bomber can drop the same amount Bombs by an Squadron of 6 Tech 1 Bombers, which makes this Air Strike more effective in Combat. You can call in 3 Heavy Bombers in Total as an Squadron.

The Prices for Tactical Points to call them are:

250 for an Single Heavy Bomber
500 for an Squadron of 2 Heavy Bombers
750 for an Squadron of 3 Heavy Bombers

Patrol Gunship Support Air Strike:
Each Faction has get access to an Patrol Gunship which can be called as an Support Air Strike.
Compared to other callable Air Strikes in the Mod Patrol Gunships can be selected and used by the Player directly. However there are sill temporary and will leave the Battlefield unselectable after an specific Time runs out (Fly back to the Map or Playable Area Border and disappear). The Timer will be excuted only if the Patrol Gunship fires its Weapons for the First Time so you don't need to have fear to lose it if you play on Larger Maps before it comes to action. Patrol Gunships are more effective if you set up an Patrol Route around the Target. All of thier Air to Ground Weapons have an Range of 90, which makes them really useful for Long Distance Air to Ground Fire Support for your Armies. You can call in 3 Patrol Gunships as an Squadron.

The Prices for Tactical Points to call them are:

250 for 1 Patrol Gunship
500 for 2 Patrol Gunships
750 for 3 Patrol Gunships

@magge here this game.log game_23906880.log

Update: 14.Dec.2024

AI-Uveso (v114)

New: Platoons will now merge if engaged in combat and nearby. Fix: Resolved an issue where RepeatBuild could potentially cause a stack overflow. Fix: Fixed a bug where the BuilderName was deleted after using the AirUnitRefit functionality. Fix: Added an upgrade mechanism for Tech3 factories when the economy is fully saturated. Fix: The hover platoon former will now only be created if there is no land path available to the enemy. Fix: Fixed tactical missile not targeting Heavy Assault units from the Total Mayhem mod. Fix: Fixed a bug in attack function when a platoon unit is dead. Opt: Increased the priority of panic builders. Opt: Units constructed by panic builders will now push aggressively into enemy lines. Opt: Introduced a new former for managing Total Mayhem spam and panic situations. Opt: Units fighting near corners will now maneuver around corners if their line of sight is obstructed. Opt: The Ecomanager will no longer pause the construction of strategic missile defense systems. Opt: Strategic missile defense systems will now automatically begin construction if a nuclear submarine is detected. Opt: Updated formers specifically for the Total Mayhem mod. Opt: Added builder for transport needed and transport wanted. Opt: Engineers will now assist only if mass storage is over 50% to prevent eco stall. Opt: Naval expansions will now build a factory first instead of defense. Opt: Reduced the number of naval base builders to prevent double builds on the same spot.

Glad to hear it’s working well.
Quantum Maelstrom damage is now T1: 0.6, T2: 6, T3: 16.

The overcharge fix will take a bit longer. FAF has a new system for calculating overcharge damage, and I still need to look into it. However, it should be fixable.

Unleashed is also updated on github.

Ah, duh 🙂 Thank you. I figured all the hotkey options under Target Priorities were legacy options from the other mod I used.

Suggestion by @Tagada
Version 2:

add hotkey toggles for domain, exotic and assisters filters

Forget Faf Develop, we need a FAF Cool branch.

Here's some feature I'd like to request. I'm basing these on the supreme scoreboard mod.

image.png

So here is supreme scoreboard.
Would be great if yours has:

Name and Rating in the same Color. I like the color scheme like this but you could also make Name and rating in the player's color and have the background green or something for allies

Average rating and "Team 1/" with the amount of players total and alive -> this is such a quality of life thing i cant really play without, even though its kind of redundant

What your scoreboard has, which SSB doesnt, is that you can see income and storage at the same time. The only problem with it is that you see their amount in storage and total storage, which totally clutters the scoreboard. If you could only see the amount in storage and no total, that would be way better. Maybe Have a symbol in front of income and storage so a player knows which is which.

@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.

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!

@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.
