Hi @deribus . I did and have already provided the requested information. Thank you.

Please help! Yesterday I played a game with my friend. Today I'm banned from FAF.
When trying to run the client, I receive the error below. FAF asked me to authenticate on the FAF website, and it is giving me this error: Ban expires: Never. Reason: Use of prohibited third-party software.
I didn't use any prohibited third-party software. I have no idea what prohibited third-party software I could be banned for, as I can't even think of any. The only thing I could suspect is that I created many single-player vs AI matches recently for mod testing. Also, I used a mod, Sim Speed Balancer, from the vault for 2 days. Maybe this one affected my account...

name = "Sim Speed Balancer"
version = 21
copyright = "Licensed under the FAF Vault License. Free to use and modify."
description =
"Dynamically microadjust game speed to reduce lag and improve performance. Details at https://github.com/Lightningbulb2/FAF-sim-speed-balancer"
author = "Lightningbulb"
url = "https://github.com/Lightningbulb2/FAF-sim-speed-balancer"
uid = "sim-speed-balancer-v21"

exclusive = false
enabled = true
ui_only = false
conflicts = {}
after = {}
before = { "sim-speed-balancer-ui-v21", "CHEESEBERRY-a1e2-c4t4-scfa-ssbmod-v0200" }

I'm always playing vs AI with my friend.
Please help me to restore my access, as I haven't done anything wrong.

@D4rkstalker I was working on RK explosions rewrite for the last 3 months. You were faster to release it
I released my mod in the FAF vault yesterday. Look for PJ_Explosions in case you want to check it and compare.

@ZBC Great. Thank you for fixing this mod. I've briefly tested, and so far so good.

Great. Thank you.

Updated to the latest version, and made it compatible with the recent version of FAF and a few famous mods. Fixed a few bugs. The latest version is in the mod vault or first post.

@strategos_vashon I think it is in Antares unit pack.

Hi @splitice
It wasn't me who removed this mod. I really like improvement what you did.
I'm agree with you on everything what you said. SC moding community released many great mods but many of them are not usable (lost to players) as original authors are not updating them for whatever reason (personal life, no longer playing, etc). And on many cases there are not possible to contact them.
This is a shame that modder who can improve/update/maintaine old mods, can't do this without prmission of original author as it is against rules. Becouse of this many great mods are lost to comunity (author can't be contacted). Maybe some compromise needed?
On other hand, i can understand copywrite part and why it is done. It should be a really valid reason for that.
But still it is a shame that many great mods has been lost becouse of this.

@splitice Do you have permission from original author of this mod? As if you don't, FAF rules are against editing work of other authors without permission.
I can see it has been removed from vault. Reason could be above.

Hi @Shamble.
I'm not planing to add T3 eng stations at this moment. There is new mod released tody in mod vault "AutoReclaim". It is bit buggy (autor need to fix few things) and AI not using this units, but it is working.
Regards.
PJ

Hi.
After many month modding and testing, public release date arrived.

Mod description:
AI Upgradeable T2 & T3 E/M-Storage, T2+ & T3+ PGens, T2 & T3 & Exp HC Plant, T3+ MEX & T4 Shields
This mean that all pleyers will get more resources including AI. Base siege will be more dificalt and each resource building will be more valuable but more protected.
I recommend to play against AIx with BlackOps mod (fully compatible).

Mod details:
All below is AI upgrageble.
T2 Power Gen are upgradeble to T2+ shielded Power Gen with x2 output.
T3 Power Gen are upgradeble to T3+ shielded Power Gen with x2 output.
T1 Energy storage upgradable to T2 and then to T3 (proper balansed).
T1 Mass storage upgradable to T2 and then to T3 (proper balansed).
T1 HC plant upgradable to T2 shielded and then to T3 shielded and than to Exp shielded.
T3 MEX upgradable to T3+ shielded with bit biger output (proper balansed).
T3 shields upgradable to Exp shields with unique features for each nation.

Please note, all units based on original game assets.

Big thank you to Uveso and whole modding community

Kind regards
PJ

Thanks for looking at this. I was hoping that there is easy fix. Booth mods having this issue even if played separately with no other mods activated. 4th Dimension mod having issue with only these 2 units attached in first post. Antares unit pack having this issue with multiple units and URS_EnCl was one of afected units. I think something was changed in FAF that these units stoped working properly as 4th dimension units was working fine in vanila FA.

@Uveso I've tried to use your URS_EnCl_unit.txt but same issue presist. Just to let you know.

@Uveso Thank you for your help and guidance. I think this could be closed.

@Uveso Thanks. So issue with units not getting destroyed and leaving reclamable wreck is in unit.bp file?

@Uveso Thank you for explaining all of this. I've learned alot during this time.
What if mod autor can't be contacted as all this mods what i used as base are very old mods?
I'm going to redo this mod to use only base game assets.
Thank you.
Regards.

@rezy-noob I'm not going to develop this mods. Just want to know how to fix this issue as playing bugy mods is not good. I'm not expecting to hold any rights for this mods. Also these mods are no longer in development for a long time and i have no idea on how to contact autors as forum pages of this mods are long forgoten and even forums are no longer active.
My quescion is technical, how to fix these units as example.
Regards.

I've noticed that on some old mods some units when destroyed not becoming wrecks and stayed permanently as damaged model and can't be reclaimable.
Before all these units was working fine in FA and now in FAF they have this issue.
Mods affected: 4th Dimension & Antares unit pack and possibly other mods.
Only some units affected and other units are working fine.
Please see example of affected units attached:
[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-2LC1wsh2gUT_MF_WV_8dxqTwd13eqKQ/view?usp=sharing](link url)
I've tried to ammend unit buleprint and unit script, but not able to fix it.
Please help.

@Uveso Hi Uveso. Thank you for your help. All has been fixed.
I've removed experimental storages from this mod (taken from BlackOps). Is it OK to pablish this mod or you can see other reasons againt publishing? I think it is a unique mod as i've tried to balance it and only similar mod is Jagers infrastructure pack(based on Upgraded Power Generators, More Storage and Upgraded HC plant) and Shields, but without AI support and with overpowered units.
Regards.
