Commander Survival Kit (A new SIM Mod)
-
Reminds of galactic war reinforcements. That artillery and bomber support would be a great addition. Nice concept.
-
@aulex
Callabe Artillery Barrages and Air Strikes are already included in the Mod.
You can call them with the Fire Support Manager next to of some other Fire Support Weapons. -
@cdrmv said in Commander Survival Kit (A new SIM Mod):
Should their Naval Units drop with an large Container or with an large Air Transport?
Definitely via air transports!

You mentioned each player should agree and set their own point generation rate. Does that mean the host doesn't set it, and each player decides their own generation rate?
-
@rama
I mean their should to speak to each other in advance to have the Same Settings of the Point Generation If they want to Play together in a Multiplayer or Survival Mode Game with this Mod. Just to make it Balanced and fair for each player in this Case. Each Player is able to Set their own Settings of the Point Generation of course but in an Multiplayer or in the Survival Mode Game. I think this could make it unbalanced If anyone use different Settings regarding to this. But this can be tested of course maybe I'm wrong with this theory.FAF is able to Host the Settings of the Point Generation.
I have Test it in a private Game recently and using my own Settings in this Case. However i didn't have Test it with other Players so I dont know what Happens If each Player is using different Settings of the Point Generation. I think FAF will host the different Settings for each Player individually or each one will play with the Same Settings, which have been Set by the Host. -
I agree I think Air Transports are a much better Solution for this.
instead of using the regular Air Transports from the Game. I will Design a new Type of Air Transport which is able to Transport Naval Units for the UEF and Cybrans. Or I will use the Drone for the UEF, which I have already create and use for the Drop Container. But instead of coming with an Drop Container for Land Reinforcements the Drone will appear with Naval Unit. However the Air Transport should be able to drop the Naval Units directly into the Water only. I think this needs to be programmed for Sure. -
Will there be a video tutorial or showcase coming out soon?
This looks super cool! -
@edtjuh
The Mod hast been already released. You can find it in the FAF Modvault. It comes with an Helpcenter where you can find several Tutorial Videos Ingame.

The first new Model of an UEF Fortress is soon finished
I will post an Update of the finished Model soon.
So stay tuned for it.
A second Fortress with a Land Factory ability will follow soon.Model Preview:
As you can see this Fortress is coming with a new set of Turrets, which i have created for new Naval units as well.
However some of these Turrets don't appear on this Fortress, so you will see some more soon.The Design of the Central Structure is Based on an WW2 German Flak Tower.
The upcoming Fortresses and Outposts where orginal planned to appear in my FBP Defense Mod.
However since the Commander Survival Kit has been released last week.
I think the appearence of the Outposts and Fortresses in this SIM Mod are a good choice for it.
So i have decide to integrate them into the Commander Survival Kit next to of some other Concepts. -

Thanks for the Note Jip.
Here is the correct Link to the GitHub Repository:
https://github.com/CDRMV/Commander-Survival-KitThe First Page has been updated with the Github Link aswell.

Tried your mod, which is really great, with AI Wave Survival. My mod added your fire support aircraft to the spawned waves, which led to some funny and incredible destruction. Took me far too long to figure out what was completely wiping out everyone's fire bases. I'll have to add exclusions so your new fire support units don't spawn in with the waves.
Looking through the new units, I saw they use categories like 'INVULNERABLE' and 'CANTRANSPORTCOMMANDER'. I can simply exclude these categories to keep these units from being added to waves. Since you are planning to add in more units, are there any other new categories I can use to exclude future units from spawning in the waves that I should know about?

Hey Rama,
First of all thanks for the nice Feedback.
Glad to hear that the Commander Survival Kit recieves some positive Feedbacks from the Community.Regarding to you Question:
The Carpet Bombers which appears in the Fire Support Air Strikes:
I will official add New Categories to them. This will make it easier for you to exclude them Out from your Wave System. So you will Not need to create your own Categories for these Units.For the current 3 Bomber Airstrikes:
I will probably use These New Categories in the Future:FSASLIGHTCARPETBOMBER
FSASMEDIUMCARPETBOMBER
FSASHEAVYCARPETBOMBERThe next upcoming Version 2.0 will introduce 3 New Types of Airstrikes.
A Torpedo Bomber Air Strike
A Rapid Fire Ground Attack Air Strike
A Amour Piercing Bomb Air Strike for high Armored BuildingsAnd the New Air Units behind them will have New Categories aswell.
Currently there are Not Set but will probably call similar like the three Categories for the Carpet Bombers above.Of course some other New Units will appear in the next Version:
New Buildings, New Naval Units, New Air Units and a few New Land Units.So some of them will have New Categories as Well but currently I don't have Set them yet. Most of the New Units will be buildable of course. So they will Not only available in the Managers. I think some of them can be used in your Wave System too.
-
Thanks for the quick response!
I was just going through the substantial list of units in your mod. AI Wave Survival will pull anything that is a Unit and has the "MOBILE" category tag and add it to waves.
I was wondering why, when air waves started, there were so few air units in the waves. Looks like AI Wave Survival added every unit with a "MOBILE" tag from your mod, including things like Asteroids. Except they have no models, so nothing spawned when those units were randomly called.
If I exclude the tags:
'INVULNERABLE'
'UNTARGETABLE'
'UNSELECTABLE'
'LIGHTDROPCAPSULE'
'MEDIUMDROPCAPSULE'
'HEAVYDROPCAPSULE'
'CANTRANSPORTCOMMANDER'That should prevent all those units from being added to waves.
I appreciate you taking the effort to add extra categories for your new units. I just completed a list of the current bombers' Unit ID's that I was going to exclude from the waves. Having categories instead of having to exclude each unit ID means the mods will be compatible with each other as you add more content.
Definitely look forward to the next version! And yeah, will definitely add in some of the new units to the waves. Maybe even add an option in AI Wave Survival to enable all the units. After all, AI Wave Survival needs more options
Those T3 Carpet Bombers are devastating. I was focused on navy, so didn't notice them hitting my base. Just noticed my forward fire base was completely gone. I though a Seraphim Bomber had hit it. Then another player complained, and said, "Those bombers are BS!" I, of course, though he meant the Seraphim Bombers, until I saw the T3 Carpet Bomber hit someone else and destroy half their base.
