    @Doompants a check list (with unit ids + the behavior) would be nice, yes

      @jip @Uveso -- This is everything we're aware of ATM. I'm sorry I have no programming experience. I'm an ADHD squirrel most days, but I swear if I find time, this almost makes me consider it. lol.

      • Several BlackOps Units with teleporting or anti-teleporting abilities (using 'unitScript', 'CloakField' to show radius) are generating massive cloak fields.

      Units affected: All BlackOps T2 and T3 anti-teleport towers, Also BAA0309 (Aeon t3 transport 'Illuminate'). Other teleporting units, ACUs and SACUs are fine.

      • Several BlackOps Teleporting units have teleport button on UI, but can no longer teleport

      *Units affected: BAA0309 (Aeon t3 transport 'Illuminate'), EAL0301 (Aeon t3 harassment bot 'Faithbreaker'). Teleporting ACUs and SACUs are fine *

      • Several BlackOps Cloaking units have cloaking toggle button on UI, but can no longer self-cloak (note that cybran transport cloaks others, but not itself as it used to). Cloaking ACU upgrades and buildings are fine.

      Units affected: BRA0309 (Cybran t3 Transport 'Vanisher'), ERL0301 (Cybran Cloaking Bot 'Shadow Splitter').

      • BlackOps Cybran ACU maser upgrade becomes bugged (fires erratically or not at all) after riding in transport.

      Units affected: ERL0001 (BlackOps Cybran Armored Command Unit). Note that this behavior was fixed previously for Vanilla ACU (URL0001).

      • Crash Damage on Czar is still ~16000 (can't find in blueprint where that is listed). If it can't be easily balanced to vanilla values, can BlackOps Czar be removed (use vanilla)? Alt-fire mode is kinda OP anyways.

      *Units affected: UAA0301 (BlackOps Czar).

      • as per @Nari , attack drones have stopped working at some point. They spawn with the units they are atteched to and then do nothing (or in the case of the Tempest, they land in the tempest like a carrier and cannot be reactivated)

      Units affected: BEL0402 (UEF Experimental Assault Bot 'Goliath MK II'), BSL0401 (Seraphim Experimental Hover Tank 'Yenzotha'), UAS0401 (BlackOps version of Aeon Experimental Battleship 'Tempest').

        @Doompants

        Oh wow, thanks for the nice list!

        @Jip
        i started to fix the not working self:DisableUnitIntel('unitScript', 'CloakField') funcion.
        Just removing the 'unitScript' argument fixed the first issue, but in the end it was not working.
        This is also the case in some other mods.

          I've been picking away at your list @Doompants

          Several BlackOps Cloaking units have cloaking toggle button on UI, but can no longer self-cloak (note that cybran transport cloaks others, but not itself as it used to). Cloaking ACU upgrades and buildings are fine.

          You mention BRA0309. I've gone back to June 2022, it doesn't cloak the transport itself there either. It can cloak other transports, and therefore receive the cloak from a fellow transport. The code responsible is highlighted, the cloak field excludes the unit that generates the cloak field:

          1285da01-0d4b-4365-a9fd-148e4a8fdd99-image.png

          That has not changed in the past six years, so it seems to me that BRA0309 works as intended.

          Looking at it further:

          69f639f1-512d-4b77-abe9-7c862fa8556a-image.png

          The unit is considered cloaked by the game, as this scout is unable to see the unit (just the radar blips). @Uveso what are your thoughts on removing that condition of the if statement, so that the unit feels cloaked, as it is indeed cloaked?

          I'll look over the remainder of your list over the coming days.

            Appreciate the time. I know the Shadow Splitter bot broke, so I thought perhaps the same change broke the Vanisher, but my memories of them being completely cloaked could indeed have stemmed from flying them in multiples.

            If you say the unit IS cloaked, just doesn't look cloaked to the player, I found the same is true of the Seraphim ACU upgrade that
            allows it to be cloaked in place when not moving (like a Selene scout). Maybe the same tweak could be made to that as well. (ESL0001 I believe)

              This should cover the majority of your issues @Doompants , @Uveso feel free to test / merge these as you see fit.

              I'll make a pull request in the base game to fix the cloaking field effect not applying to the unit that emits the cloak field. That likely won't see the day of light until June. The next development iteration is set to release in June, see also:

                wow thanks for your awesome work!

                In the last week my time was a bit tight. It was my birthday and of course Easter.
                I will take some time on the weekend to merge your PR's and test it.

                  Only things I see missing is the Cybran ACU transport fix and the crazy-high Czar crash damage.

                            So we've had a couple weeks of games and everything on the fixed list seems to be working wonderfully, so thank you both again for maintaining.

                            Confirmed that the crazy-high ~16000 dmg Czar crash damage is still there, and the Cybran ACU maser still breaks if they get in a transport.

                            @Jip the maser breaking was something that happened at some point in vanilla, but was fixed. Are you able to identify what was done to fix it? I'm sure it's a case that the Cybran ACU in the BlackOps ACU mod probably broke at the same time, but just never got fixed like Vanilla did.

                                @Uveso I was using a few mods including BlackOpsFAF-Unleashed-v23 in an offline skirmish game and found that I could not save a game - FAF crashes. I don't see anything in the logs though. I turned off all mods and verified that your latest mod BlackOpsFAF-Unleashed-v23 is the one causing the crash (being the only mod loaded). Are there any quick fixes available? Or perhaps you could point me to an earlier version of BlackOpsFAF-Unleashed to try out until the fix is done. Many thanks!

                                  I only saved a few games in the early days of 2007.
                                  After using mods i stoped using the save feature because the game crashed to often.

                                  Unfortunately, I have no idea how to fix this or if it's even fixable.

                                    @uveso Thanks for your swift reply. BlackOps Unleashed is a great unit pack so I'll try to work around not using saves.

                                      Hi Uveso,

                                      I've been having a weird crash when using AI Wave Survival and BlackOps Unleashed, that only began after the latest 3758 Developers Patch.

                                      I already wrote up the issue, linked here. Don't know if you want to take a look.

                                          @Uveso it seems the mod behave strangely with the latest 3758 Developers Patch.
                                          While other units works completely fine, those units carrying drones are not display the correct movement and attack animation. Those units simply follow targets but not fire, also by buliding one of the broken units, it seem to affect all units constructed afterwards to have the same strange behavior.
                                          Are there any quick fixes for this problem?
