Quick guide how to use mod

The goal of project is to utilize old UI mods and create new ones. New mods must be customizable in order for user to be able to enable/disable things user needs/doesn't need. Code base must be extendable for further development and be performant as well, so, user won't have issues with lagging game.

Here are already mods having more comfortable and customizable tools to work with.

What's next?

As you can see there are a lot of mods being developed by me, but why?
Let's look through mod vault and select the most popular:

Supreme Score Board

Legendary mod, I appreciate work been done by HUSSAR. It is one of the mods I really like. However it has obsoleted. Code base is poor, so, you can't add, you can't remove. It takes a lot of space in UI making user with smaller screens struggle using it.
In addition, It doesn't match factions' skins and doesn't hide with whole UI (Ctrl+Shift+F1).

Idle Engineers 1/2/reloaded

Performance issues, poor code base. Uncustomizable.

Supreme economy

Takes a lot of space in UI. Bad UI design. Poor code base. Uncustomizable.

Advanced Selection Info + similar mods

Performance issues. Uncustomizable.

ECO Manager

Legendary UI mod. There were rumors that you could become 3k using it. No, but you would have performance issues, bugged funcions, broken hotkeys and vulnerability to icon spamming (aka smds everywhere). In addition poor code base and uncustomizable functions you might not needed.

Cool, hah? But who am I to decide? Well, you decide to believe me or not.
Since I am doing this alone I can't even think about revolution and that's why I want your help.
I need:

• Devs: Very specific, but if you really want, ask me
• Testers: I can't test all things I do
• Promoters: Spread our goal around others and blame listed mods

Keep in mind that I also participate in FAF development and this extends to FA UI as well, there are tons of issues to be fixed.

You can also make levels of tree to separate specific phases:

Every new game mod creates tree with player names:

Question mark will help you understand the functionality of mod

Attention:

• this mod does not replace your keybinds it uses its own ones
• however it blocks input so you wont be able to give orders to units based on keybinds, so, you will have to close window
• please report about any bugs, its important

In the end:
I hope community will help with promotion of the mod and its improvement, enjoy playing!

Also, here is the list of upcoming features:

• map ping with phrase - done
• better system of blocking input - done
• integrated emojis - ...

EzReclaim

Shows reclaim labels in reclaim mode.

Select only enginners with shift+alt

Smart Ring Display

Shows ranges on units when holding shift.

Beer

For aesthetes of beer. Plays beer open sound when mex starts upgrading and pour one when mex is completed.

April Fool's Day is coming and i think it's great day for releasing UI mod for game chat "Emojis". Code is done (still looking for bugs) and i need to fill up mod with emojis, thats why help needed. Send me in Discord (4z0t) emojis you want to add and names for them.

@FunkOff Good to know. But this doesnt lower the efforts needed for your idea. I'll be glad if you look into Oxygen and example mission I was working on.

For instance: this is a single part of a mission. https://github.com/4z0t/MapsCoopDev/tree/GW/maps%2FGW.v0002 all of that code is a single part...

Inhales ... Ok, I'll make it clear for you as non programmer. I had such Idea a year ago when I was developing Oxygen, a framework for development of coop missions for FAF. But even now I see it as barely possible to be final product, and that's why:

1. Map generations is ok, we have it and this is not a problem.
2. Nav mesh developed by @Jip opens us lot's of opportunities for setting up routes for units, but some coding and checks required.
3. Bases. This is gonna be a problem. To achieve aesthetics of all faction base setup we'd need very complicated generator that also involves terrain and water. "Use prebuilt ones!" Still required checking for valid terrain and water. And... after 10ish missions you are gonna be bored I swear you.
4. Objectives. Protect citizens! Protect the convoy! Attack and destroy that base! Build smd before the launch! Hold before timer expires! What's the point? Are you gonna do all these steps before just for that? It is already kind of possible with mod by @Rama iirc. If you want more complex objectives then oh sorry, even starfield having millions of dollars is lacking side mission variety :Kappa:.
5. Who is gonna do all of the steps?

In conclusion, too many effort for too little result.

@freemanitsnothe wrong season man
