@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.

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!

@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

Update 02.Nov.2024 (v19)

fixed cloak

Update 02.Nov.2024 (v22)

UEFClusterCruise01_proj.bp fix DesiredShooterCap not matching health fixed VisionRadius, OmniRadius, WaterVisionRadius Unit eeb0402 (Stellar Generator) Fixed collision size (for torpedo hit) fixed cloak ERL0301

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.

@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

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.
Best regards
CDRMV

Better to just not execute it then. Don't want to accidentally have your com explode.

@Rama
Hey Rama,
It is possible to get the Information of the Hidden Area outside the Map
Uveso has Show me an Way how to do that.
I primary use it for several Spawn Mechanics of callable Reinforcements and the Airstrikes which are included in my Commander Survival Kit.
So maybe it could help you for what you want.
But you will probably need to modify the Code for your purposes.

GetPlayableArea:
This Function checks for the existence of an playable rectangle (area) on the map.
If one exists it returns the playable rectangle (area)
If not it simple returns the size of the map

GetNearestPlayablePoint
This Function checks whether the given unit position is outside the playable rechtangle (area)..
If the Unit is located outside the Map it returns a new generated Vector inside the Playable Area
If Not it doesn't return anything.
The included Check for ScenarioInfo.type == 'skirmish' is optional
So If you want to use the Code for specific Game Modes only you can use the Check.
For example: Campaign, Skirmish or anything else.

If you have any additional Questions related to this.
I still have Contact with Uveso on Discord to pass them on to him.

GetPlayableArea = function() if ScenarioInfo.MapData.PlayableRect then return ScenarioInfo.MapData.PlayableRect end return {0, 0, ScenarioInfo.size[1], ScenarioInfo.size[2]} end, GetNearestPlayablePoint = function(self,position) local px, _, pz = unpack(position) if ScenarioInfo.type == 'skirmish' then local playableArea = self.GetPlayableArea() -- keep track whether the point is actually outside the map local isOutside = false if px < playableArea[1] then isOutside = true px = playableArea[1] + 1 elseif px > playableArea[3] then isOutside = true px = playableArea[3] - 1 end if pz < playableArea[2] then isOutside = true pz = playableArea[2] + 1 elseif pz > playableArea[4] then isOutside = true pz = playableArea[4] - 1 end -- if it really is outside the map then we allocate a new vector if isOutside then return { px, GetTerrainHeight(px, pz), pz } end end end,

Best regards
CDRMV

Looks like the Transport Bug has been squashed! Thank you very much! I am sure @Thracymachus14 will be pleased the unstoppable Airdrops are back.

@cdrmv Perhaps someone can make a mod for this, as making this change is likely to be beyond what most people can do.

@maudlin27 true... good idea
