I decided to pull up the water settings for some biomes in the editor, and compared to the default, it looks like the values for lerp/sky reflections/sun strength are generally higher, and the surface colors are generally blackened. I might make a pr that makes some adjustments...

this mod may help.

If someone could make a mod that maa can fire in transports it certainly would be fun. If this would be a serious considered balance patch one nerf could be tech level that can fire

They boost to almost the same frequency, and as the load is single threaded very short time, the laptop power & thermal constraint doesn't play that big of a role in the test.

@jip i mean I will always stick for the website, no matter what position or lack of I have, I just want someone that has a bigger passion and is known to the community to lead the promo team

I've also made these a while back:

There's no point at all. Whole thing just seems like trolling or something a lazy american would say to not have to move mouse lmao

@magge This is an encoding issue. It seems that the GPGnet messages don’t get converted to UTF-8. As a result when the server tries to decode them it will encounter invalid bytes which causes it to kill the connection. I’m not sure if it’s the client or the ice adapters responsibility to make sure that the GPGNet messages are reencoded to utf8 before being forwarded to the server, but one of them should be doing it. I noticed this issue by looking at the errors in the server logs. Feel free to message me on zulip/discord if you want to try and fix this.

For anyone else looking for a workaround… in theory you should be able to set your system encoding to utf8. I have not tried this though.

On behalf of Grimplex, please message him he will happily do this

@hinthunter said in Suggest new FAF Wiki pages:

Maybe one day when it could be automated such labours task.

You just described the reason for the unit db existing.

The ACU is considered 'busy' when building. This prevents its weapon from trying to fire while building. This also prevents the missile weapon. The first order causes the unit to stop building, unflagging the unit as 'busy'. The second order then launches the missile.

Not ideal, something we can look into. But I'm not sure if we can fix it reliably

why would we want to attract StarCraft 2 players anyway. FAF is completely different and being a guy who played Warcraft 3 and Sc2 extensively I wouldn't go back to it.

They are welcome to try FAF but I wouldn't change anything in FAF to get it closer to the gameplay of SC2.

Maximum reclaim and mexes, hate red maps though , i prefer flatter maps so i dont have to use what little apm i have to see what can and cant hit things aswell as not being able to build things in infuriating places.

Apologies if this has already been considered @Jip but can the original texture be replaced with a higher resolution one that makes room in UV space for new HQ geometry? For example, take a 512 texture and place it top left in a 1024 canvas, divide base model UV coordinates by 2, allocate new UVs in the 0.5 - 1 range that is now available for use in the 1024 canvas. Of course that still leaves the problem of actually authoring these additional textures and my instinct is that it would involve reusing repeated patterns from the original. The problem of albedo being mixed in with the baked GI could be solved in principle with a high/low pass filter as a starting point, making a plausible albedo texture without GI contribution available for copy-paste over the new geometry, and blender can be used to provide the GI for these new elements.

Basically I'm asking if this sort of solution is acceptable from your developer perspective, fully aware that it creates work on the art side but ready to contribute. I know it doesn't address animations but could be part of the answer if you decide to iterate on HQs further.

The server update has been deployed, high rated players should now notice that the rating range in their game has decreased and consequently it is a bit harder for them to find games.
