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.

@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.

Just wait for the team match maker.

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

Previous discussions never led to a consensus like "would be nice to have, but other things have priority".

It would solve a problem that only exists because of another problem: that people mostly play a single map. And we should solve that instead of making it even worse.

edit: nvm, doesn't have anything to do with that setting

I think they made the "Vault Fallback Location" ticked by default, check if it's on, turn it off and then see if it finds your old gameprefs.

So this is about 1 year?

There must be something wrong with the data because in my case it only includes like 10 lines and I have definitely said more than that.

Or maybe 631711 replays is less than I thought. How far does it go back?

people who write like this.... are very fun to talk to.... because the whole world is against them.... and nothing anyone does is ever good enough....

Of course people make fun of them when they are so overdramatic.

Using your Patreon cancellation like some kind of persuasion method to make people act like you want is ridiculous, too. Especially when it's just based on a false assumption, in this case that mods don't do anything.
At that point you are just a clown.

Can this thread be closed? No evidence that mods ignore valid reports has been presented so far and I doubt anyone will be able to.

Is there still a massive backlog of reports? I thought it was down to a reasonable amount now.

though I believe it's still under-represented in tournaments

Isn't that because it's the most banned faction?

What is a sufficient length for a stream? What is too short?

Stream length is kind of irrelevant tbh, I doubt most people are going to sit there and watch all 8h of a tournament. So basically what Aurico said.
This should be more of a concern for the players rather than the viewers, playing more than like 4h should be an exception for something big like LotS imo. 4h is already kind of a big time investment. Also BO1 leads to more whacky (=more interesting) games I think.

Just disable the antivirus and try it.
Btw, you only need Windows Defender nowadays anyway, extra antivirus is not needed.

The error you are getting is "typically due to a file permission or other access check. " so it could also be related to folder permissions.

And you can try the "Vault Fallback Location" setting in the client.

Don't know why he used a screenshot like that, but the economy overlay is not a mod, it's the additional info you get when you use the hotkey, default is ctrl+r I think
