Total Mayhem 1.37 for all game versions

Uveso

i viewed your log and saw that the game is not able to load some textures, not sure why.

There was an error int the map script file: survival_campaign_v1_blackbox_8_script.lua
Please use a different (normal) map for testing.

Also what was changed to the Ex-Catalys "brnt3shpd" (Super Heavy Point Defense) ?
i never touched this unit !?!

It says I need AI uveso for the mod to prevent errors. I use the steam vanilla version with this mod but AI uveso says its only for FAF. Kinda confusing if Total Mayhem says its compatible with all versions, but at the top then says it requires AI uveso which is only compatible with FAF. Do I need AI uveso for the steam version or does it only apply to the FAF version?

@Nyazuki

That's easy to explain, I screwed it up.

Total mayhem requires the AI Uveso Mod to be installed as I accidentally used a platoon former only available in AI-Uveso.
Without the mod you will get some error in the log related to this former.
This is not gamebraking but can cause lag because of the error spam.

The next update of Total Mayhem will fix that dependency.

For now, just ignore the errors.

Oh thats alright was just wondering since it was confusing haha! Will look forward to the update!

Hello @Uveso i have problem with this mod today i've downloaded it (since i didn't even bother to check at any time if this mod was still being updated) and i've noticed that sorian ai (2.1.2 i play steam version only) once upgrades their land factory to level 3 they just stop producing units in the land factory. Air and naval factories worked fine and they were the only one producing engineers the T3 Land factories just stayed on idle and did nothing leaving the late game to just air naval or experiemental fights, so im curious if this is a known issue or if there's a fix to that. The previous version i used worked fine without issues (1.21 from mod DB). I've verified my game files just in case, there was 123mb to download but that didn't fix the issue either

CrazySnapDragon

this error seems to pop up whenever a t2 factory gets upgraded to t3

@CrazySnapDragon

You try to install the AI-Uveso mod (even if its not working with steam)
https://forum.faforever.com/topic/350
The mod must be switched on, but don't use the AI.

If you still have errors go to your total mayhem directory:

***\Mods\TotalMayhem\lua\AI\AIBuilders\

and delete the 2 files:

TotalMayhemBuilder.lua
TotalMayhemDefenseUpgrade.lua

In this case you don't need the Ai-Uveso Mod, but you can't use the
mod in multiplayer this way. it will desync the game.

Please report back!

Hello Again @Uveso! Sorry For The Late Reply I've Downloaded The Newest Uveso AI From The Faf Launcher but when enabling it and launching the game it just crashes, so i've deleted the two lua files and the T3 Factories started producing units, Thank you so much!

Also Out of curiosity will there be a big diffrence with ai when those 2 lua files are deleted or no?
Thank you once again!

Uveso

@CrazySnapDragon

Without the Platoon former the mod cannot carry out point defense upgrades,
and the builders for Heavy Assaults (tech 1 land experimentals and gunships) are also missing.
And the AI will not send those tech 1 experimentals to the enemy

A special function of Total Mahyem is also missing, which is that the AI builds the cheap over-tech tanks
(when you upgrade a factory to tech 2, then you have a upgaded tech 1 tank available, also with tech 3)

Btw, thanks for the log! (always helpfull)
This is the AI error:

warning: Error running lua script: ...\gamedata\lua.scd\lua\sim\brainconditionsmonitor.lua(566): access to nonexistent global variable "EnemyUnitsGreaterAtLocationRadius"

That means the AI does not know the buildcondition "EnemyUnitsGreaterAtLocationRadius".
But we can add this buildcondition to the mod instead of deleting the platoon former that is using it.

Download this zip archive:
hook.zip

copy the file "UnitCountBuildConditions.lua" to "\Mods\TotalMayhem\hook\lua\editor".
(you need to create the "editor" folder)

This should add the missing buildcondition to the mod.

CrazySnapDragon

@Uveso Alright I'll put it in the mod thanks again for the reply!

Good afternoon. I would like to ask the author of "Total Mayhem" mod. Can I copy and use the 3 vehicles you created in my mod?
.Google translate. my english is bad - sorry.

Unit ID brot3bt doesn't contain the AMPHIBIOUS category, but has a motion type 'RULEUMT_Amphibious' (i.e. to be in line with FA categorisation of units I'd expect it to have the AMPHIBIOUS category)

Just so we're clear; we are supposed to play Total Mayhem with AI-Uveso mod installed, but not enabled? As in we play with vanilla AI, but keep the mod installed in the background?

Referencing a bug reported earlier in discord regarding the building animation of two aeon units (BROT3BT and BROT3BT2,) :

A question regarding the Avalanche Cybran superexperimental.
BRMT3AVA_LOD0 to be exact.
I am unable to edit this mesh file. I cannot even import then export it, untouched. Blender v2.80 and v2.82 tried (the second one I regularly use no problem).
Does anyone know why? And how to go around it?

It's a simple edit for a standalone unit within another mod - mine, not for TMayhem. Basically I need more bones added on strategic places to attach weapons as adds to it + I want to add 2 more turrets to the back of it and animate a tail opening animation when the unit goes low on hp, so that the turrets exit the tail to deploy and start shooting. It's for one of the end boss variants for my survival.

Any info is appreciated.

@DDDX
Hi, I think CDRMV once told me that there's a limit to the number of bones in a model. Maybe that's it. Or the mesh was created using Blender 3.5 or 4.2.

DDDX

nah, it's Total mayhem, so it's either 2.82, 2.80, or older. If it's even done with Blender at all

@DDDX
Hi, I've taken a look at the unit, but I can't offer a solution yet, as I'm testing with my new hardware and a new version of Blender. So, this is just a preliminary review. What have I tried? First, I tried importing and exporting one of my units via Blender. That seems to work. With the unit you mentioned, I get the following error from Blender:

Python: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Anwender\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\4.2\scripts\addons\supcom-exporter.py", line 1183, in execute

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
struct.error: ushort format requires 0 <= number <= 65535

I haven't looked into this yet, but maybe someone else can help with it. The reference seems to be in the export Python file.

DDDX

Asked ChatGPT about it:

One of the vertex_index_x values is greater than 65535

Why this happens:
The exporter assumes the mesh has fewer than 65536 vertices (so all vertex indices fit in a 16-bit unsigned integer).
