@deletethis said in About UI mods:
Yes, they only affect your UI; you don't have to select them at the time you host the game, you can select them in the lobby as well.
No, as UI mods only affect you (it's sim mods that typically make games unranked).
No, they will need to download them manually or from the vault if they want to use them.
Thx bro, and a noob move from my side, i didn't see "Mods Manager" in the lobby until today 
Btw, does the "Oof ACU sound" SIM mode make the game unranked?
I have a couple questions regarding UI mods, such as Advanced target priorities, Advanced Reclaim Info etc:
i see they need to be selected when you host a game. Why is this necessary? Shouldn't they affect only my UI?
is a hosted game with UI mods unranked?
if i host a game with UI mods, will a player auto-download them upon joining the lobby, similar to a new map?
After disabling OneDrive backing up the My Documents folder (that was a headache, you have to tamper the registry too to get it fixed), and disabling the "Vault fallback location", now everything works like a charm (maps, mods, even a replay folder exists now).
Regarding the templates, after googling the old forum i've seen that they are actually created in the SP base game (FA) in Skirmish, and then carried over in MP. So all good now 
@Uveso Tried, nothing works. But i think the culprit is the "Vault fallback location" which i have enabled, reason being i had the same issue with maps. They were being downloaded in the wrong location, so i had to manually move them to the correct users/myname folder.
The mods folder is in the same fallback location. But although this options fixed the maps issues, the mods seem not to work.
Btw yes, it's a steam installation.
@Uveso just copy paste the current mod folder under the users/MYNAME path?
i see no option in Settings to defind the path myself
I have tried to install several UI mods (e.g. Advanced target priorities), but they don't work. The path is: C:\ProgramData\FAForever\user\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\mods
Game mods (e.g. Nomads) work flawlessly, so i guess they use a different path?
Also, my in-game templates are not saved. Or am i supposed to create + save them for every game?
My guess is that OneDrive messes up with the default folders...
Any help is welcome!
cheers mate, i'll pm you when i see you online 
@FemtoZetta: 600-700, but i've played against/with 1200+ and (not blowing my own trumpet) seen more skills. 500+ games, but i have stopped couple years ago, this year i've built a new rig and started again. Weekends and when time allows like holidays, daily. Been bored of gaps (partly the reason for my ranking), looking for 2v2 3v3 on new maps (like neroxis map gen) where you can play SupCom as meant to be played. Central Europe. I think a 1k - 1.5k rating would be fitting. I hope i answered all your questions
@LittleBoyBennis: do you have a site or just hang out in Chat / Discord?
As the name suggests, looking for some good and active buddies for some coordination in the games (+ getting better). EU timezones work better for me.
