Thank you for participating, see you on next u1900 next month!

LMFAO I got to this post by following OP's profile from a random link when I was googling something random. What a notorious troll.

v161 Update
Happy Christmas (almost!) everyone! 12 changes in this update, including:

Introduced new T2 bomber snipe logic - sometimes M28 should decide to just go for a T2 bomber snipe in place of its normal approach to the game (i.e. even if the enemy ACU is on full health) Fixed a significant bug that could break M28's asf logic introduced in v160 Various adjustments to M28's snipe logic, so it shoudl be less likely to suicide gunships into a damaged ACU with significant anti-air defences Bombers should no longer immediately charge at a vulnerable ACU to damage it, but instead should build up their force and either abandon the attack if the enemy ACU gets in a safe position (e.g. under a shield), or attack in one go. Fixed a bug relating to the TML targeting logic 1 MOD specific change (reverting overcharge change made in v160 as the issue it was addressing should hopefully be resolved now)

Acknowledgements

Radde replay from a few versions ago that prompted me to revisit M28's snipe logic (which then prompted me to introduce T2 bomber snipe logic)

Well i agree that the game is simulated and these things can and should happens. But i definitly think this should be patched (as in use the examples you provided to "fix" this). As i said, there is a difference between losing a projectile that doesnt cost anything and losing an smd-missile that cost a lot of time and ressources

@Ctrl-K i followed your advice and changed that sentense to not insult someone.

Another point to check is you're using the latest versions of the mods in case there was an error that's been fixed (e.g. checking the log, the version of M28 used was v142- so a decent chance the errors relating to M28 were resolved in a more recent update, although I'll add a couple of redundancies in the upcoming release for the specific error message).

@Sainse Technically - the game can use up to 4GB of memory - but - due to the way that lua handles memory, the limit is about half of that. At some point, the number of units becomes the main reason that memory usage grows to that point (around 2GB) - and it will then simply crash to desktop.

The size of the map, and the number of units in the game, and to a lesser degree, the number of wrecks and props, contribute to the overall memory usage, for the main part. After that, the AI (and the number of them involved) plays the largest role in how memory is used up.

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

ZE_Pilot yt channel is still active after all these years lol, that was unexpected. Old client seems pretty cool for 2011, i thought it would be uglier. At the time i remember using Xfire (for games like cod4), faf seems way more ahead of the time compared to that, wp to the initial faf team.

I have such a problem too

Forget Faf Develop, we need a FAF Cool branch.

The particular game you referenced was unrated due to having sim mods enabled. Looks like specifically you were using the M28 AI mod.

If you have a replay ID where it happens but the validity code is Coop Game then please post it here, because that validity code means the game should have been posted to the leaderboard. For instance:

@Mize what is your nickname on discord, there are about 3 different accounts like: mizer3727, mizer4792, mizer5761

If you are new to mods, then you are in for a treat. They are not just for replays but can help you in-game too, as they give you additional information and hotkeys etc. Focus on "UI-mods", they can be used in rated games and only effects your own UI. "Sim-mods" changes the game itself, are unranked and must be downloaded by all players.

The blueprints-ai.lua file that Nomander referenced is what you want to look at.

Your obviously motivated to do something positive here. I don't believe we can dynamically adjust threat during the game as the blueprints are read once on startup sort of thing. BUT, I think the development team would be more than happy to see someone put time into improving the existing threat calculations that we are creating. The current calculations are based on a formula that Balthazar did however long ago and some adjustments since then and while it is ALOT better than what we had originally there is room for improvement.

You'll eventually hit limitations since threat also depends on situational factors (a sniper bot in dangerous unless an enemy Obsidian tank is sitting next to it sort of thing). So why not rather than making a mod look at improving what we are doing now? We're happy to collaborate and provide feedback on the impact it makes on AI games.

i'ts work, my bad, sorry for this, thanks a lot
