@Wainan said in Need UI Mod? Let me know:

I'd love a mod that makes players on a team all have similar colours if possible please. So Team one would be light blue, dark blue, light green, dark green, turquoise and team 2 would be red, dark red, pink, orange, yellow for instance.

I get so confused in team games and the built-in option turns the entire team the exact same colour which creates its own problems.

In case it's relevant I use this icon mod already so please only spend time on it if they would work together. https://wiki.faforever.com/index.php?title=Advanced_Strategic_Icons

Thank You! I Love it, The Whole reason the Rainbow Tourny exists...
is I hate seeing mixed colors like you mentioned.
My OCD with this has me even sorting colors when I play AI solo.

These are the colors for the Rainbow Tourny going on now,,
finishes on Feb 6,,
watch streams on faflive twitch and others to see your idea in action.

Hi All,
Would like to have RCIV in Feb 2021, (RCIII was in Feb this year)
The idea is for very similar format as the RCIII

BUT ..

I am thinking of allowing the AI devs to pick the AI factions,
(like the Computer Cup) that way the more apropos faction will be chosen.

I would like for this post thread to be a central point to discuss the playability
of the maps.
And to have all AI's working properly together, (Like as in RCIII - Great job!)
Any dev who prefers to chat in private discord is also fine with me.

Whenever I forget to set my sound card to stereo this happens, when set on 5.1, the warning will Not play,
also when not in stereo, you will Not get the Nuke launch warning.

@Dro said in Rainbow Cup III ~ 3 v 3 ~ $1.2K:

sign me up if someone drops

There are multiple players who have asked to be put on the standby list since the draft period ended.
So, I am reopening the tournament to new players who would like a "chance" to play.
Players who wish to play will be put on a "Restricted" Standby list
and have an opportunity to play.
The way the Standby list and the Restricted Standby list will work, is as follows:

ANY player on the pre draft - Standby list can fill in for anyone no matter the rating differential.
A player on the 'restricted' standby list can Only fill in for a player with a higher rating.
See list of players on standby and restricted standby here:
https://forum.faforever.com/topic/858/rainbow-cup-iii-3-v-3-1-2k/2

ie: A 1640 rated player drops out and needs replacement -
the team captain can choose an 1800 player from the stanby list or
a player rated 1639 or lower from the restricted list.

So....... If you missed the initial draft and still would like a chance at play,
sign up now for the restricted standby list.
We now have an additional 4 players on the restricted list.
at https://forum.faforever.com/topic/858/rainbow-cup-iii-3-v-3-1-2k

**The reason I opened the registration again is because the standby pool is not very strong,
and if a team looses a player, it is not very fair to that team.
(And for the viewers who are eager to watch the most competitive matches they can)
The players who are already on the standby list have already been passed over in draft
and all 12 captains have had a chance to pick them once,
so rating does not matter as far as replacing someone who was already picked before them.
but... New player who register now,
have Not had chance to be picked so can Not replace someone with a lower rating.
There is 'minimal' chance to abuse this system,
as someone would have to of known and planned ahead of time to "make a swap" .
I expect all to abide by the good faith of our FAF community, and not abuse this opportunity.
But if someone forgets to set alarm clock, or has an emergency,
I would like for the remaining team players to have a deeper player pool to choose from.

Love the new AI, - great first release.
I've been taking some notes as playing and noted that:
On one map 2 Dilli AI's didn't claim the Hydro next to their base, and didn't attack enemy hydro when near it.
AI was still building T1 pgens at 35 minutes, (some AI's actually reclaim T1 pgens latter in game)
One game there was no nuke defense at minute 45.
There was little to no reclaim of a couple of nearby T4 wrecks and
Of course the ACU's walking across whole 10k map to opponents base (danger, danger!)

Things that are Great about it.
Expands very fast and wide, and
My fav - It FULLY utilizes "Full Share" when teammate gets killed, it takes over the base and Produces from the factories!

Looking forward to the new release.

Looking forward to watching this tourny.
Will likely have the top 3 AI's who win, show and place in this tourny,
be in next years Rainbow Cup IV.

@intel_wins_games

In Create game panel, select the AI you'd like to use in the SIM tab.

@majortrouble
Hi Major,
This tourny (an annual held each year ~ Feb) will be similar to the RainbowCup III. See here:https://forum.faforever.com/topic/858/rainbow-cup-iii-3-v-3-1-2k
It is a 3v3 with AI on map as a "wildcard/disruptor"
There will be 12 teams and the 12 highest rated players, pick teams thru a draft type selection.
See Post #2 of the above link, for the teams that were selected in Feburary:https://forum.faforever.com/topic/858/rainbow-cup-iii-3-v-3-1-2k/2.
The players ranged from our #1 player "Nexus" to 1300 rated range.
We had 12 teams with avg combined rating of 5.8K.

Map pool:
Most of the maps will be the same as in the RCIII, and
laid out the same way,

Tournament Rules:
The tourny rules will be almost identical to RCIII.
You can read the rules and view maps from the RCIII tourny below.
https://forum.faforever.com/topic/858/rainbow-cup-iii-3-v-3-1-2k

Main difference will be that the AI Factions will be pre chosen by devs and myself, instead of allowing players to choose.

The Top 3 AI's from the Computer Cup and Uveso are in gong to be in the Tournament.

Each map there will be anywhere from 2 to 4 AI,
and may be a mix of AI or the same.

Below are the AI's and sub AI's that will be participating in RCIV:

DilliDalli

RNGAI-Standard
RNGAI-Air Standard

Swarm-Terror

Uveso-Adaptive
Uveso-Experimental +
Uveso-Rush

@AwarE
Hi,
Have you tried the many new AI's in the Mod Vault?
Sorian is old and Not been updated in long time.
Try uising these AI mods found in the vault

AI Uveso - (Must load for All the following AI to work)
AI Swarm,
RNGAI,
NutCracker AI and
Also Sorian Edit , which I just played, and is great,
smarter and doesn't slow pc down at all!

( Set "Auto Generate AI markers" to: Always Generate, in the options)

ALL 5 above are better and smarter then base Sorian,
and most operated with less PC load then Sorian
