MarLo's mods compilation

To download it check out the Mod vault in the FAF Client search for MarLo
I'll try to present my mod in the best way possible.

My idea was to create Unique and fun units, we really don't need 4 different T1 fighters, am I right?
I might have not achieved this with some units and the quality varies a lot between my units.

But you can make up your own mind, it's quite sad that mods don't get played often, players don't look at units but it's not a lost cause I bet and hope.

These are mostly UEF units only but that will change i want to create a total of 50 units per faction which means UEF is more than halfway done

So here we go,

Picture:
https://i.ibb.co/qFQHrD5/grafik.png

MK69 - Cybran Experimental Spiderbot, T4 Land
Well, I feel like a hypocrite saying that Cybran has too many bots and then I give them another experimental bot, oh well, but here it is just some variation to experimental warfare, equipped with a strong laser which can also target air to get rid of pesky gunships and a heavy laser cannon to get rid of that Perci spam.

And yeah we've hit the cursed number, this mod is growing rapidly as of late because of Corona, stay healthy!
Picture:

Why is it bad?

The system is heavily biased towards content having a perfect score of all ratings being 5/5 stars, a mod with a single 1 star review and a single 5 star review will be very very far back in the sorting system while a mod with 2 5 star reviews gets placed near the top.

alt text
In the above example you can see how a map with 6; 5/5 ratings is sorted above a map with 10; 5/5 ratings and a single 4/5 review. Not only is this very far from being proper sorting the map sorted above is, objectively by reviews and from a personal review of the content, just terrible.

Now you might say the first 15 maps seem to be properly sorted since they are quite good and popular -> just check the second page, theres an astro clone on there which was even rejected by the astro community since it barely has 220 plays.

It gets worse

Switching to the mod vault
There are some great mods that show up only on the 4th page of highest rated, it is sad to see great mods that need to fight for popularity in a niche market get sorted in such a terrible fashion, mods that deserve more attention get sorted far back while mods like "T1 UNIT HEALTH X100" get sorted higher. See for yourself:

alt text
All of these mods are sorted below the following mods:

alt text
goes on and on:

alt text

How do they sort it?

They use a very complex mathematical equasion called: Binomial proportion confidence interval. This isnt a bad way to sort but the devs did a terrible implementation. A simpler system like (stars * amount of reviews) would work way better.

Have a great day!

Hello,
Im glad you stumbled across my map. This is merely a proof of concept map, the biggest issue is that units will lack range circles due to how I made this work:
The mesh is split into entity meshes, I use the map script to spawn the entities and then attach the map meshes in the center.
To get unit collision I just use the normal heightmap, but I use the hide terrain console command, so basically this is still a normal map but the terrain is hidden and visually replaced by a mesh. This is why I need the mod, which contains these meshes.

Now since the game renders thing like decals, unit range rings, building outlines etc. ontop of the heightmap, all these things also get disabled when I hide the terrain.

Degulum

Just in time, submitting my map "Argon" based on the Evad River confluence
alt text

based on:

Degulum

The Cybran cruiser already fires missiles which track, @Sprouto there is a difference between a tracking projectile and a missile, a tracking projectile requires merely one or two blueprint changes, only tactical missiles and nukes require a script to make them work, they are not tracking either

Degulum

@speed2

Yes transparent textures do work, Jip has done a lot of work on the shaders and Its even possible to do terrain culling, but this has the same issues as the console command, ie range rings etc. dont render, it may be possible to create an entity shader that does render range rings and decals on it, I dont know

@Sheikah Oh yeah, I see its just because only the first 3 pages actually have mods with any ratings at all and the second page is already at single ratings

Degulum

@BlackYps I Dont know what its based on, but whatever it is is much better than what is used for highest rated.

The problem is that its recommended UI mods and not mods

Degulum

@BlackYps No there are 3 categories for mods, Highest rated, Recommended Ui mods and recent uploads/updates

Degulum

@TheWheelie Almost all 1 star reviews on my mod are bug reports, im certain that this is also the case with most 1 star reviews on other mods, I have provided an alternative where 1 star and 2 star reviews can yield negative sorting score. I still believe that 1 star reviews can represent general interest in a mod and since theyre mostly "not working" or "game freezes" etc. I think it could either allow the original author to fix it or have another author provide a better comparable mod.

My biggest issue with the current system is that it doesnt make popularity valueable it sorts mods with 2 5 star ratings way infront of big mods people put a lot of work into that have a higher chance of having issues or bugs which may yield bad reviews throughout its development.

Degulum

@Brutus5000 Which is still good, it means that that mod has some form of popularity and allow for changes to be made.

And besides its way better than a 2x5 star rated mod being sorted above a 35xMixed star.

Point still stands, thx for your input

Edit: Total amount of stars - (amount of 1 star reviews + amount of 2 star reviews * 2)

MK52 - UEF Support Carrier, T3 Naval
This ship is not suited for direct combat but it is kitted out with anything a navy could need: rain down 80 Cruise missiles at once on enemy shores, wipe enemy aircraft from the skies with 4 powerful phalanx CIWS and finally keep the rest of your navy safe under a massive shield and protection from TML.

MK68 - Aeon Experimental Gunship, T4 Air
This unit really is a masterpiece based on the CIS HMP Droid Gunship this gunship can mow through units and bases like it was properly a made air experimental and it is.

Picture:
https://i.ibb.co/qFQHrD5/grafik.png

MK69 - Cybran Experimental Spiderbot, T4 Land
Well, I feel like a hypocrite saying that Cybran has too many bots and then I give them another experimental bot, oh well, but here it is just some variation to experimental warfare, equipped with a strong laser which can also target air to get rid of pesky gunships and a heavy laser cannon to get rid of that Perci spam.

And yeah we've hit the cursed number, this mod is growing rapidly as of late because of Corona, stay healthy!

Why is it bad?

The system is heavily biased towards content having a perfect score of all ratings being 5/5 stars, a mod with a single 1 star review and a single 5 star review will be very very far back in the sorting system while a mod with 2 5 star reviews gets placed near the top.

alt text
In the above example you can see how a map with 6; 5/5 ratings is sorted above a map with 10; 5/5 ratings and a single 4/5 review. Not only is this very far from being proper sorting the map sorted above is, objectively by reviews and from a personal review of the content, just terrible.

Now you might say the first 15 maps seem to be properly sorted since they are quite good and popular -> just check the second page, theres an astro clone on there which was even rejected by the astro community since it barely has 220 plays.

It gets worse

Switching to the mod vault
There are some great mods that show up only on the 4th page of highest rated, it is sad to see great mods that need to fight for popularity in a niche market get sorted in such a terrible fashion, mods that deserve more attention get sorted far back while mods like "T1 UNIT HEALTH X100" get sorted higher. See for yourself:

alt text
All of these mods are sorted below the following mods:

goes on and on:

How do they sort it?

They use a very complex mathematical equasion called: Binomial proportion confidence interval. This isnt a bad way to sort but the devs did a terrible implementation. A simpler system like (stars * amount of reviews) would work way better.

Have a great day!
