Hello @Uveso , I see you're updating old mods to work with the latest FAF. Is there any change you can update GilbotX mod pack for this? I am willing to pay! Just let me know.

hello @Grimshad

I took a look into the Gilbot-X's Mod Pack 2 version 2.05 from 11 January 2009 (released 14 Jan 2009)
(16 sub mods, 318 Lua files, 131 additional units)

The mod pack is using .scd files to replace/chang original game files and icons.
Many functions are no longer available or have changed significantly.

Sadly the mod pack is changing almost every base game file and it would take month to refactor this to the FAF game version.
I don't think the original author would manage to rewrite the mod for FAF and neither do I.

Sorry but I have to decline your request.

This is unfortunate, I loved that mod pack.

I would like to point out, currently the only error in the logs is that it can't find the icon table file. I'm sure there may be more issues after that is fixed. In addition, there is a current, updated core mod in the vault that works with FAF. It's just that none of the sub mods that mostly add 1 unit each work because of that icon loading error.

Either way, thank you for looking into it. Could you tell me where you got it online? I only have local copies. If you change your mind let me know, I am willing to pay you to fix it up.

If I can't get it updated I'll just have to play vanilla, but I can't find links to v10 and your links are also dead. Do you still have these availalbe?

@uveso said in BlackOpsFAF-Unleashed only for FAF v20:

Hello Divangel ,

no, sorry. The FAF version of the Black ops mod does not run outside of FAF.

There are many places where we patched the mod to get the latest FAF updates and changes included.
So we refactored almost every script and blueprint.

If you want to play Black ops on vanilla you need to use the old mod version:

BlackOpsACUs V10
http://faforever.uveso.de/forum/BlackOpsACUs.rar

BlackOpsUnleashed V10
http://faforever.uveso.de/forum/BlackOpsUnleashed.rar

BlackOpsEXUnits V4.1 (BlackOps Special Weapons)
http://faforever.uveso.de/forum/BlackOpsEXUnits.rar

BlackopsSupport V6.2 (Global icon support mod)
http://faforever.uveso.de/forum/BlackopsSupport.rar

greetings, Uveso.

@Grimshad

i used the Gilbot-X's Mod from my archive, i don't have any actual download link for it.

The Black Ops links you posted should now work again.

@uveso This worked great thanks!

Do you also have the black ops compatibility sub mod for gilbot that goes with this?

@Grimshad

i did not find any black ops + gilbot related mods in my archive,
and all old links i had are dead.
Also a metasearch did not get any useful results.

There are only 2 archives left with old Supreme Commander mods:
http://viking.gurut.org/Mods/
http://gpgnet.obliteratingwave.co.uk/Vault/Individual-Mods/

Sorry, but this is all i have.

@uveso Thanks for your help. I've been working with Jip to fix gilbot for the latest FAF. So far it hasn't been very difficult. Just small little things.

That would be awesome, i saw many interesting things while viewing the mod code.
Glad you found Jip. He really knows his stuff. If anyone can fix the mod, it's him.
Can't wait for the result!
