• RE: Updated fix to audio bugs?

  Well your timing is actually perfect, because earlier today... https://github.com/FAForever/FA-Binary-Patches/pull/178

  It seems like there might be a patch to fix it in the near future but it hasn't been tested yet.

  In the meantime there's these two if you haven't seen yet https://forum.faforever.com/topic/796/i-can-t-hear-some-of-the-audio-or-other-sound-issue-what-should-i-do and https://forum.faforever.com/topic/4084/solutions-for-snd-error-xact-invalid-arg-xact3dapply-failed

• Lobby modification - Minigames and hide not in-use lobby options

  Hello there!

  I would like to share my newest creation: a modification to the lobby which:

  • Hides not in-use lobby options
  • Adds a bunch of minigames to the lobby to play while lobbysim-ing (Some even have multiplayer, but I havent tested them for full functionality yet)

  Current games:

  • Singleplayer + Multiplayer: Liars Dice, Battleship
  • Multiplayer only: Chess
  • Singleplayer only: Snake, Sudoku, Minesweeper, Dragonsweeper, Lag Clicker

  HOW TO USE??? -> Click the minigames button in the top right next to settings.

  First of all here is the download link: https://github.com/Nuggets75/nuggets-lobby/releases
  Here is the public repo to read for those who are interested (and the source code of the wrapper.exe which is included in the download): https://github.com/Nuggets75/nuggets-lobby
  (Want to know how it exactly works? Read on github!)

  How to install:

  1. Copy init_nuggets.lua into C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\
  2. Copy the nuggets-lobby folder into C:\ProgramData\FAForever\ (next to bin)
  3. Right-click nuggets-lobby\wrapper.exe → Properties → tick Unblock if it's there.
  4. Tell your client to start the game through wrapper.exe:

  Rust client

  • Quit the client completely
  • Open %APPDATA%\FAForever\FAForever Client\config\settings.json in Notepad.
  • Find "launchWrapper": "" and change it to:
    "launchWrapper": "C:\\ProgramData\\FAForever\\nuggets-lobby\\wrapper.exe"
    (the double backslashes are required)
  • Save and start the client.

  Java client

  • Settings → Forged Alliance → executable decorator. Replace "%s" with:
    "C:\ProgramData\FAForever\nuggets-lobby\wrapper.exe" %s

  Done. You do not need a backup, since the actual lobbycode is not touched. If you no longer want to use this modification, simply remove the steps you did for the respective client.

  ---

  Additional info:

  • Everyone who wants to play the minigames together / against each other needs it installed on the same version.
  • With the Rust client, the borderless window option doesnt apply while the wrapper is used
  • If you have problems send me the wrapper.log and your game log

  ---

  This was just a short, fun, project with no big goal in mind, but maybe it inspires others to create something similar (or actually fix the lobby!)

  Also pinging @robogear sind he requested this a while ago and @originalangel for asking today aswell
