Commander Survival Kit (A new SIM Mod)

[CDRMV]

@Caliber
Currently, I'm leaning toward releasing the first version of Mechdivers in December of this year. Of course, this depends on how well the development goes. Otherwise, it'll be in the first quarter of next year. Unlike CSK Units, Mechdivers is a smaller unit pack but will be regularly updated with new content and features in the future. Anyone who wants to play Mechdivers in early access or support its development can already download the current developer version from my GitHub repository.

Hi, can you make a mini-guide for installing the Commander-Survival-Kit, and new units on FAF?
And how does the mod work online?
Well, if possible, links
Only of CSK Units

[famklio]

To be specific, I ask you to leave a link to CSK Units in the update posts, otherwise it is difficult to constantly search for it)

[CDRMV]

@famklio
Hey just search in the FAF Modvault for Commander Survival Kit and subscribe the Mod. If needed I will going to Create an small Guide later today with Screenshots to Show it visually as well. The FAF Client will Download and Install the Mod automatically into the Mods Folder of the Game.The Commander Survival Kit itself is actually Designed for the Survival Mode. Specifically agianst Survival related AIs where you and your Allies (usually other Players) are playing agianst Hordes of AI Waves. The Main Goal is to survive them at all costs. The Mod gives you the ability to Support you and your Allies to call in Reinforcements and Fire Support Solutions agianst those AI Waves. The Commander Survival Kit can be Played in other Game Modes as Well such as the Campaign of the Base Game, FAF Coop Campaigns, Skirmish and Multiplayer.
The Mod comes with several new Lobby Options as Well where you can Manage the Access of callable Reinforcements, Air Strikes or some specific Gameplay Mechanics such as the Structure wise Gameplay with the Mod as an example. So Take a look into the Lobby Options once you have the Mod. If the Mod is going to be Played in Multiplayer or together in other Game Modes I recommend that the Players should agree in advance on which lobby options and gameplay mechanics they want to use in the match. Otherwise, it can become quite unfair If anyone is using different Setttings. Hope that is okay for you as an small Guide but If you have any more Questions feel free to ask me anytime.

About CSK Units:
The Unit Pack itself is currently only available in Early Access on my GitHub Repository, because it is still in Development:

https://github.com/CDRMV/Commander-Survival-Kit

You can find it in the Mods Folder If you Download the Repository.

Same goes for the Unit Pack: Mechdivers which is currently in Development as Well:

хай а где все эти юниты можно найти ( я скачал репризитории гита на не нашёл большую часть этих юнитов я протсетировал все твою юниты которые нашёл некоторые юниты т3 мехи в частности не стреляют , а транспортники не могут транспортировать за исключением тяжолого транспота т 3 )

[CDRMV]

@frost_OTBEPTKA
Translation:

Hi, where can I find all these units? (I downloaded the GIT replicas and didn't find most of these units. I tested all your units. I found some T3 mechs, in particular, they don't shoot, and transports can't transport anything except heavy T3 transports.)

First of all I don't speak and understand Russian so you should better use English. Depends on which Units you mean specifically. If you have Screenshots of those Units I can directly tell you where you can find them in my Mods. Hmm that Sounds the Mods are incorrectly installed. So If the Units Shot Just Red Lines, the Animations doesn't Work or other broken Behaviours is this cleary the Sign for an incorrect Install of the Mod.
You should better Show me how do you have install these Mods from GitHub with Screenshots of your Mods Folder and thier specific Folders. This makes it much easier to Support you more to find an Solution for it.

[frost_OTBEPTKA]

hi, sorry, I didn’t think to write in English right away
I'm interested in units like "A10". "Caspian monster" “helicopter”, but I would like to touch all the units, how they behave, and so on
installed this way
1- downloaded both github repositories and put them in the mods folder
This is a method without a boot "doucher"
2-
with the boot "launcher" I unpacked it into the folders called "mods" and "game data"

@frost_OTBEPTKA
Regarding to the Commander Survival Kit If you Play FAF you don't need the Gamedata Folder. The Gamedata Folder which includes the SCD Files is only required for the Steam/Retail (Vanilla) Version of the Game.

If you Download the GitHub Repository for example of the Commander Survival Kit you will need to Put the included Folders, which are inside the Mods Folder for example Commander Survival Kit, Commander Survival Kit Units, Commander Survival Kit Ammunition and so on into your Mods Folder. After that is done you can activate the Mods in the Mod Manager and they will Work. Same goes for Mechdivers where you need to put the Mechdivers Folder which is inside the Mods from GitHub into your Mods Folder than activate the Mod in the Mod Manager. The Units which you are looking for are included in the Mod Commander Survival Kit Units (CSK Units) So If you want to Play them Put the Commander Survival Kit Units Folder from the Mods Folder from GitHub into the Mods Folder of the Game and activate the Mod in the Mod Manager.

Too bad it doesn't work with FAF.

[CDRMV]

@QuantumTyphoon
The Mod works with FAF but you have install the Mod incorrectly that is the Problem.

Why did you don't download the Mod from the FAF Modvault?

I See you have install the Github Version of the Mod.
If you download the Mod from Github the extracted Folder is called Commander-Survival-Kit-main. If you want to install the Mod correctly open this Folder and you will find the Commander Survival Kit Folder inside the included Mods Folder. Put the Commander Survival Kit Folder into your Mods Folder and activate the Mod in the Mod Manager. If you have any throubles let me know I will help you.

Note:
I have Update the First Post with the Information that the Mod is downloable on the FAF Modvault as Well.

[QuantumTyphoon]
