Commander Survival Kit (A new SIM Mod)

[QuantumTyphoon]

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]

@CDMV that did it. Thanks.

Hello everyone,
its time for an new Development Report of Mechdivers.
Lets See what is new:

Landing Pad
The Design of this Structure is based on the Landing Pad from Helldivers 2. You can now build these two following Units with this Structure:

Pelican Tech 3 Mech Marine Transport Gunship,
Hercules Tech 3 Vehicle Transport Gunship

So there are No longer be buildable in the regular Air Factory from the Game.

'Slatter' - Tech 3 Heavy Anti Air-SAM Launcher
This Missile Launcher is designed to shot down large enemy Air Units such as Air Transports and Air Experimentals only. It comes with 24 Missiles in its Storage and will going to automatically refuel it once it gets empty. Compared to the regular T3 AA SAM Launchers from the Game itself such as the UEF Flayer the Slatter has an larger Range to use his Missiles. Buildable by Tech 3 Engineer's and SACU's It comes with an full Set of nice Unpack Animations as well. The Design is based on the S.E.A.F SAM Site from Helldivers 2.

Drop Flag
Basically an Droppod with an animated Flag.
It has its own Capture Mechanic
The Flag and the Mast are animated too.
Design is based on the Super Earth Flag Strategem from the Game Helldivers 2

Umanned/Manned Emancipator and Patriot
The Emancipator and Patriot Multifunctional Support Bots of the UEF has got an Model Update which adds an Cockpit/Inferior to them. So you can now Unman/Man them with an Single Mech Marine as an Pilot to make them Functional

'Berserker' - Tech 2 Advanced Melee Bot (Melee Unit)
Basically an Devastator without his armor and more fractured as usual. He is armed with two Titanium Chainsaws on both Arms, which makes him very dangerous in close range. This Unit comes with the Speed Boost Ability. Buildable in the Tech 2 Advanced Heavy Factory. The Design is based on the Automaton Berserker from the Game Helldivers 2. Yes the Chainsaw is animated as well

'CX-300: Factory Strider' - Tech 3.5/Elite Heavy Walker
A large four-legged Walker which is armed with two Rapid Fire Fusion MG Cannons on its Head. It comes with an build in Devastator Factory. The Design is based on the Automaton Factory Strider from the Game Helldivers 2.

The Factory Strider comes with several other Official and Custom Variations as Well

For example:

A Variant with an Tactical Jammer, which disables Shields of enemy Units in Range. Its able to Shot Flares in Sky to call in Land Reinforcements delivered by Air Transports

A Variant with an Missile Battery on its Back for Long Distance Fire Support for your Armies

A Variant with an Detector Tower on its Back.
If the Tower discovers an enemy Unit it will be able to call in Land Reinforcements delivered by Air Transports as Well.

Note: The Screenshots of those Factory Striders above are a Bit outdated since the Model has get a few little Updates with additions

Landing Pad
To build the large Tech 3 Air Transport Drone based on the Automaton Dropship from Helldivers 2 an Landing Pad has been added into the Mod. So it is No longer buildable in the regular Air Factory of the Game.

AI Support Expansion
Mechdivers has get an huge Expansion when it comes with its AI Support of its Units recently. With the introduction of the new Factories and Landing Pads the AI Support Had to be expaned Code wise to make them fully buildable and usable by the AI. This is has been successfully implement into the Mod. So the AI builds the new Factories and Landing Pads and the Units which are buildable by them.

About the Commander Survival Kit
Next to of the Progress on Mechdivers the next Versions of the Commander Survival Kit and Commander Survival Kit Timeos are getting closer thier Release. Currently I Work on the Descriptions for the Enhancement Upgrades of the Callable Drop Turrets and Drop Supply Stations for the Commander Survival Kit to give you an better Overview what they do in Detail.
Of course with the German Translatation next to of a few Fixes for both Mods.

As always stay tuned for more Updates.
More is already coming to us soon.

[JoTape79]

hello again my friend
I was wondering when you're going to create more units for the Aeon and Seraphim factions this is a great project Mod

[CDRMV]

@JoTape79
Hello sorry for the late Response. I'm actually busy in the Week because of my Job, which Mod do you mean specifically? Mechdivers or CSK Units? I and my Team will going to Create new Units for the Aeon and Seraphim soon.

Regarding to Mechdivers:
I will Post the next Development Report soon.
Currently I Work on several new Content for it, which takes time to complete.

[JoTape79]

@CDRMV yes, I was talking about supreme commander units (CSK Units) ..... I've never heard about Mechdivers ? .... mechdivers is another mod ?

[CDRMV]

@JoTape79
Yes Mechdivers is an another Mod, which is currently in Development by myself and already in Early Access on my GitHub Repository. It is focused on to add Units based on the two Helldivers Games (Helldivers 1 and Helldivers 2) into Supcom next to of an planned Gamemode in the future.

You can still spawn reinforcements and airstrikes being dead. Also when you are spawning the schathis is bugged and doesn't shoot. Mod is very cool. I love it

[CDRMV]

Hello @bayopello
glad to hear you love the Mod.

About the two Topic you mentioned above:

Topic 1:
You can still spawn reinforcements and airstrikes being dead.
Personally I See this more as an Feature instead of an Bug. However it should get an Lobby Option, which allows you to manage this directly before you start a Match. I think it could be useful in an Survival related Match as an example, where Players fight against waves of AI Units. A Player, which has lose his ACU and Base during this Fight he could be still able to help his ally Players with additional Reinforcements and Fire Support or can try to rebuild his Base. In Multiplayer I can See that could be unfair If an Player who has lose anything is still able to call something. So yes to solve this I would make this Manageable as an Feature with its own Lobby Option in the Lobby.

Topic 2:
Also when you are spawning the schathis is bugged and doesn't shoot
That is clearly an Bug and I already know where the Problem is.
The Mod adds an Clone of the Mobile Scathis into the Game.
The Reason for this is Brewlan changes the Scathis from an Mobile Artillery to an Structure.
So to make the Mod still Compatible with Brewlan I have add this Scathis Clone to reintroduce the Mobile Artillery Scathis to make it Callable as an Land Reinforcement Unit. The Problem is the Code is still the one from Vanilla and Not the one from FAF. So I will need to add the FAF Code of this Unit with an Version Check to make this Unit functional in FAF. I have forget that so thanks to let me know. Since this Issue is FAF only I can Upload an Hotfix on the FAF Modvault to fix this. For Vanilla and Loud is this Not needed since they use the Vanilla Code but it will be included in the next Patch.

[CDRMV]

Hello everyone,
I have upload Version 27 of the Commander Survival Kit (CSK) on the FAF Modvault.

Overview:

Bug Fix:

Cybran Land Reinforcements Manager (Experimental Section)

Callable Experimental Unit:

'Scathis' - Cybran Experimental Mobile Artillery

• Add an Version Check for Vanilla and FAF, which loads the correct Unit Code for the specific Gameversion. This fixes the Issue that the Unit wasn't able to fire in FAF (Was reported by @bayopello)

@kilatamoro I have seen your 1 Star Review for the Commander Survival Kit recently.
Personally I think the Issue you mentioned is caused by an another Mod. The Commander Survival Kit doesn't has a Function, which keep your Units selected (It doesn't even touch them).

So the Questions which I have for you are:

• Were any other mods activated?
• When did the problem start?
• Were there any errors in the log?
• Is there a replay of the error that I can watch?
• If you Play the Commander Survival Kit without any other Mods activated did the Issue appear as Well?

As always if you find any Issues with the Commander Survival Kit please let me know about that directly. So I can look into it to fix it or I can work on it to make the Mod compatible with the specific Mod.

Thank you for your Support.
Anyway have fun and stay tuned for more Updates related to Mechdivers.
Best regards

Hello everyone
its been a while since our Last Development Report.
This time we have some News related to Mechdivers.

First of all the official Moddb Page of Mechdivers is now Online:

https://www.moddb.com/mods/mechdivers
So you can now directly follow the Development of the Mod more directly. The Mod itself will later get its own FAF Forum Post soon.

Now I give you an Overview about the newest Additions which has been added into Mechdivers recently:
The following Units are now available in Early Access on GitHub.

Liberty Class' - UEF Experimental Super Destroyer (Spaceship)
This Spaceship has been added into the Mod a month ago and will be part of an new Support Ability. Each UEF Player will get access to his own Super Destroyer which gives him access to callable Orbital Bombardments and Reinforcements with an nice Designed Manager. The Aeon and Cybrans will get thier own Spaceships too which are based on the ones from Helldivers 2. (Do you know which ones specifiaclly? ;)) The Spaceships itself are not buildable by the Player as an regular Unit. To counter them we will going to see Anti Spaceship Cannons (one per Faction) soon. How this inital Feature works in Detail will be revealed later. Currently this Feature is highly in Development but the Super Destroyer itself is already available in Early Access in the Mod but what you see there is not the finished/final State of this Feature. There is still alot to do.

New UEF Mechs
Lumberer
This Mech is armed with an Anti Tank Cannon and an Flamethrower

Breakthrough
This Mech is armed with an Balistic Shield and an Heavy Flak Cannon
The Heavy Flak Cannon is an Grenade Launcher, which is armed with Fragmentation Grenades. He works similar like an Shotgun.

Note:
Currently I Work on an new Modular Mech System, which will be revealed soon.
So stay tuned for it.

'Radical' - Cybran Tech 2 Advanced Shotgun Cyborg
The first Variant of an artificially created Cyborg Soldier. This cyborg was created from the genetic material of an highly successful Cybran Commander with the help of the Enigma 4 enzyme This enzyme makes this Cyborg significantly larger than conventional human-sized cyborgs.

He is armed with a hydrogen shotgun and has access to the Speed Booster ability. He is currently temporarily buildable in the Advanced Heavy Factory. Later, a new building will be available that will allow them to be created/builded.

'Agitator' - Tech 2 Advanced Assault Cyborg
The second Variant of an artificially created Cyborg Soldier. This cyborg was created from the genetic material of an highly successful Cybran Commander with the help of the Enigma 4 enzyme This enzyme makes this Cyborg significantly larger than conventional human-sized cyborgs.

He is basically an Armored Version of the Radical but armed with an single Hydrogen Blaster. This Blaster has access to the Overcharge Ability to allow him to shot an single High Damage Hydrogen Projectile on an given Target. This Cyborg will later get an additional Support Ability to buff ally Land Units in its Vision Range similar like the Aeon Monolith but with an different Buff Effect.

'Omega Engine' - Tech 3.5/Elite Heavy Shotgun Tank Bot
An another Variant of the Vox Engine armed with two Heavy Hydrogen Shotguns and two Heavy Fusion Mortars, which can stun enemy Units. This Unit has an short Range and is more usable in Close Combat.

Of course more is coming soon.
Stay tuned for it

[JoTape79]

I've played your mod Mechdivers and it's amazing work.... keep going I recommend you to make more units for the seraphim faction , it will be great

[CDRMV]

@JoTape79
Hey Thanks for the Feedback and glad to hear you like it. Regarding to the Seraphim: I know this Faction currently doesn't has any new Units in Mechdivers and needs alot love. Currently I think about it what Kind of Units they should get. There are currently 4 Options in my Mind:

Option 1
The Seraphim could get thier own Designs of the Helldivers 2 Illuminate Unit next to of the Aeon. Since the Aeon have learned from the Seraphim it would make alot of Sense If they have similar Versions of these Units but with different Abilities, Stats and an Design which fits the Seraphim more.

Option 2
Since the Terminids are planned to appear in Mechdivers in the future as Well there is the Possibility to add them on the Side of the Seraphim but with an Redesign to fit them more. Alternative the Terminids could appear as an Playable Subfaction or as an spawned Civilian Enemy on the Map. If this is the Case Option 3 will be implemented below

Option 3
Or the Seraphim get Custom Units only for example alot of Tripod Walkers, Hover Tanks and other Alien Stuff, which could be based on some popular Sci Fi Franchises or on new Concept Artworks created by an Member of my Development Team.

Which of these 3 Options will be implemented in the future is still Not fully sure at the Moment. So I will probably going to do an Long Survey soon to See which Option gets the Most Votes by the Community here, on Moddb and on my Discord Server.
