Oh wow, this is a quite the promising project. I was looking around to see if I could get EControl separately (courtesy of UI Party), and found this. I have been trying to learn Lua writing so I can use 'A Hotkey Keys', but your Hotbuild Overhaul appears to accomplish the same thing (and with a GUI no less!). The only other mods I use which are relevant to your listed features (so might be worth looking at them); 'Advanced Target Priorities 1.1', and 'Better Reclaim View' (this one specifically b/c it works with UI Scaling). I would very much like to sign up for testing/feedback.

Glad to see your attention, I would like to look at them too, but rn I'm preparing something interesting

Sweet! Keep me posted. The mex viewer of EControl is just so good, I really don't know think I can play without it (recent patch messed up UI Party, which sadly does not have a reset button).

What is going on with the Specific Target Priorities? I have been tinkering with the mod and am interested in knowing what is going on there.
-
@kalethequick it produces priority based on unit hovered with cursor and applies to selected ones
-
I understand your vision, even if some people might interpret your excitement and comments about old mods as a little abrasive. I'll be watching to see where the project goes. As a developer, I understand your desire for cleaner code and more flexible interfaces for the user.
After trying all the idle engineer mods, I do like yours. A couple issues though (which might be related to using BrewLan icons):
- I can't tell if my ACU is idle
- I can't tell if factories are idle
- I do like that the Engineer idle indicator isn't so big and blocky like other mods, but I would really like to see the option to adjust the color, size, and shape
-
@woofiewilly thanks for review! I'm glad that someone is still interested in this stuff. About IEL:
- Yeah, acu doesnt have any icons rn
- Idle factories are highlighted with green triangle
- Those are textures, you can't change shape and color in the game, however you can try to use your own replacing in mod textures, you can use pngs, but i recommend using dds which are faster to load by the game.

@ctrl-k hmmm, this with selecting a bunch of engies then attack moving into different places or in 1v1, select all bombers and being able to quickly click in 1-2 places would be really useful, looks super promising!
-
is the ez reclaim mod broken ? cant make it work
-
@Raishini It works as intended.
-
shall we use Specific Target Priorities made by 4z0t or advanced target priorities made by strogo ? or they are two diff kind of mobs ?
-
@Raishini specific target priorities is a self sufficient ui mod which may be a nice addition to advanced target priorities.
-
@ctrl-k so what u mean its that it should be add into advanced target priorities mod ? i am looking to download one of those mods to see how good it is ..been away from FAF like for a year so taking again some games and getting update ...i used to use eco manager but it seems like nobody likes it anymore so i am trying to see which ones are good right now
