Need UI Mod? Let me know
-
Possible yes.
Doable? Easier said than done. Also Prize you on Discord? -
@Dragun101 Yup "Sir Prize#9720"

UI mod idea: a patrol that does not make unit follow enemy units. so basicly move orders instead of attack-move-orders.
uses:- autododge mmls, t1 arty and maybe other things, (frigate vs arty vs bomber vs mmls for example)
- ASFS and inties don't chase enemy units to enemy AA
- maybe other cases when you want to have units follow certain move orders and not diverge from them to chase random stuff
Could be implemented by clicking move orders and then pressing certain hotkey to make it into patrol or making a patrol and pressing hotkey and turining it into a non agressive patrol
-
A mod idea i had: 'back-off after shooting command', basically attack-move with a twist for slow firing units like mmls/snipers/ships/arty.
It will 'attack move' to specific location and after after using a shot will move units in opposite direction for half time of firing cycle and will use attack-move to same place again, repeat until arriving to attack spot. This can be considered a bit 'cheaty' cause squishy slow firing units won't stand in same place waiting for arty shot each time they encounter enemies. -
Techmind what your discord username btw?

@Wainan said in Need UI Mod? Let me know:
I'd love a mod that makes players on a team all have similar colours if possible please. So Team one would be light blue, dark blue, light green, dark green, turquoise and team 2 would be red, dark red, pink, orange, yellow for instance.
I get so confused in team games and the built-in option turns the entire team the exact same colour which creates its own problems.
In case it's relevant I use this icon mod already so please only spend time on it if they would work together. https://wiki.faforever.com/index.php?title=Advanced_Strategic_Icons
Thank You! I Love it, The Whole reason the Rainbow Tourny exists...
is I hate seeing mixed colors like you mentioned.
My OCD with this has me even sorting colors when I play AI solo.These are the colors for the Rainbow Tourny going on now,,
finishes on Feb 6,,
watch streams on faflive twitch and others to see your idea in action.

"a bit 'cheaty'"
no, its cheaty and would result in a ban if used in competetive games -
Techmind I won’t be making the mod, was gonna PM you privately telling you that. And given conversations I won’t be making the counting mod either

I would like a mod that adds a sound effect when one of two things happen:
(1) someone on my team sends a team-chat message; or
(2) anyone in the game sends a chat message to me onlyFrom watching replays I see that during the game I won't always notice when someone sends me a chat message. It would promote better teamwork if a sound cue helped me to notice the chat message.
It would be best if the sound effect was subtle but also completely unique, so a player would always know that it represents a chat message.

@arma473 vault->search "chatbeep"

can we get an UI that disables chat and marks at the same time?
queuing with a newbie to show him the beauty of tmm and meeting tagada be like:

Probably y can just destroy chat window's handler + replace default chat-sound with null-sound, but this would be game mod like 'kyro's lobby' which would not be installable from vault.
-
it would be easy to remove chat from showing up (all chat, or according to specific rules, like muting a list of players). The ChatBeep mod in the vault almost shows you how to do it.
ChatBeep always calls the underlying function and then adds a beep sound. You could modify it to put logic in to decide whether to call the underlying function. Logic like: if the name of the sender of the chat message equals "arma473", don't call it, otherwise, call it. If you don't call that underlying function, the chat message never shows up on your screen.
it's probably equally easy to remove "pings" from showing up, or at least to take their sound away. again, it could be done according to specific rules, or it could just be muting everyone's pings
-
Also an idea for mod 'select units with <25% hp(to fallback and ctrl-k), <50% hp'(to fallback beside healthy units), select veteran units with <25% hp (so they can heal a bit)', probably a best way for UI is to filter current selection like 'no fuel' does.

@Fearghal @ZLO @techmind_ I uploaded this mod to the vault. It is called "ChatBeepLite"
I uploaded it with @Uveso 's permission
I'm calling it a "lite" version of Uveso's ChatBeep mod, rather than overwriting the existing ChatBeep mod, because it does some things differently:
-A different noise (it's not really a beep, it's a chirping noise)
-It doesn't chirp for global messages because those usually aren't worth reading
-It won't chirp more than about once per second even if there are lots of messages
-It has different configuration optionsI recommend this mod to EVERYBODY who has ever watched a replay of your own team game and noticed that you missed important chat messages during the game . . . if anyone tells you that they didn't notice a chat message, you can recommend this mod to them
-
Should set it up on special words like: smd, exp, nuke, tml, tmd, t3 bomber, bomber, acu
-
Is there some version of advanced strategic icons that only has only important changes? like SMD/SML/ACU maybe TML and no other weird stuff?
Edit: Tho not sure how much that helps. i have seen Paralon using penis icon for Nuke and it didn't help him to notice it https://youtu.be/PCE3H78CJQ4?t=5933
-
I would like such UI mod as well, I remember my game vs Petric in a tourney on Seton's where I couldn't see his Nuke because the t1 pgens around it hidden it.
