With the newest patch it is now easy to customise the strategic icons you want to have. Here's a short guide on how to do that.

How to create your own icon mod

1. Create a new folder in the FAF mod folder with the name you want your mod to have
   
   

2. Copy a mod_info.lua file from another mod and add it to your new folder

3. Edit the name and the uid in the mod info, rest is not relevant unless you want others to use it too

   1. "name" needs to be the same as your folder

   2. "uid" needs to be a unique text
      

4. Create the folder structure textures\ui\common\game\strategicicons in your mod folder

5. Now you just have to put the icons you want to use in \strategicicons

   1. The names of your icons need to be the same as the ones used by the game, for example for a strategic launcher it would be icon_structure3_missile_rest.dds

Additional info

• The base icons are in the steam folder for FA in \gamedata --> textures.scd and in there in textures\ui\common\game\strategicicons.

• Each structure/unit has 4 different icons:
  

  • rest: when it's not selected

  • over: when you hover over it

  • selected: when it's selected

  • selectedover: when it's selected and you hover over it

• Making your own icons can be quite difficult because of the DXT5 compression the game uses. Maybe someone who has experience with that could make a guide about how to make your own icons.

Yeah, most other games don't even have rating for custom games, at best you get a casual queue (not ranked) with a hidden rating.

I think there should be info about this on the Matchmaking tab, just the news is not enough.

@bude132 said in AI-Uveso (v95) - AI mod for FAForever:

Before I noticed what was happening, it was to late and it instantly ended the match, because my whole shield installation was useless.
At the end I wasn't thinking "huh, I fucked up but died a glorious death." I was thinking "welp, that's fucking lame."
Just because I don't like a mechanic , doesn't mean there's an issue with me.
You should stop being an ass.

Oversensitive much?
You didn't scout and the AI surprised you with bombers, it's a pretty normal way to die against players too. You disliking the mechanic does mean the issue lies with you, because it's just part of the game. It's not the AI's fault for being good enough to make use of it. Telling you that fact doesn't make him an ass.

That game in general was pretty unconventional by BlinChik, but not sure if there's a VoD of it.

@tsirkitna said in Hate hate:

When people have a problem with any attempt to rid the community of hate speech it makes me think they are the types that act like that. Why else would you want to defend such actions.

He wasn't defending people using hate speech. He was arguing for not punishing it as severely as you want it to be punished. Implying that he is someone who uses hate speech because of that is unreasonable and frankly insulting to him. Simply arguing against your stance doesn't make whoever does it your enemy, which does seem to be what you think though.
As people have already told you multiple times, make the report, there will be some kind of punishment. The punishment won't be as harsh as you want it to be, but it's definitely not tolerated, and has led to perma bans in the past for people who don't learn.

Yeah, either this is described poorly and it's not just observers that can do it but anyone who died, or it's really not a problem at all, because observers always could cheat in many ways (like VC) and they really never did that by using pings.

A very detailed version doesn't make sense imo, mostly because it would have to be kept updated with every patch but also because it would be massive (over 10 years of changes).
A general overview of the changes similar to what you linked is the best way to go. A few changes and additions could be made but I'd say it's already pretty good. Why would anyone need much more details? If someone cared that much for some reason they could just go through the patchnotes too.

How is this not a troll post, only thing missing is that he thinks snipers are bad and need a buff.

Looks like you don't have a faction selected to me.

I like Sera the most, but Cyb gets an honourable mention because I like the small ball of fire that forms.

Is it possible to have factories turn (180° not 90°) towards the middle of the map? It always felt to me like that's all that's needed so they don't get stuck between factory and land.

zeldafanboy said in Cybran T2 PD - Balance review please:

Sera T3 shields are strictly better than other T3 shields when you account for everything

When you actually account for everything, I think Aeon shields are better or at least equal because they are way cheaper.

If you want full overcharge you need 60k energy, but it only uses up to 90% of your storage, so it will need at least 66,666 energy. So that should be the threshold.

Is it possible to make this into a toggle for scouts (or maybe all T1?), so that they can intentionally break trees at reduced speed and otherwise they don't break them?
Makes it into an option to intentionally break trees, but makes them not break your own and because they get slowed down while doing it they become a bit less effective at it and can be more easily chased down.

Do you have any replays where this happened or just anecdotes?

I think he meant something more like meeting minutes instead of an agenda.
