Another small UI change that could help would be to add a message like this to the bottom of the game list:

Just to remind people these games are there. Ideally, clicking the message should un-hide the modded games.

V2 update - fixed a bug where attacking units wouldnt get new orders when their target was dead.

Also updated the wiki with a diagram of how the logic works:

For the benefit of those who haven't seen the discord announcement, a new version of the client was released a couple of hours ago.

v151 Update
Smaller hotfix update with 7 changes:

Short ranged units should be less likely to attack enemies and should try and group closer together Units whose shots are blocked should be slightly more likely to move than before. Fixed a bug that would break all M28 ACUs for the rest of the game if M28 thought an enemy ACU could be killed. Also added in a redundancy so in future it should only temporarily break the logic if such a bug was to reoccur. Experimentals should be slightly more likely to suicide into an enemy experimental instead of retreating (although this will need further refinement).

Acknowledgements

Radde - A number of replays Vortex - several LOUD replays

Version 2 - The mod should now work on campaign maps (although I've only confirmed on one of them, and I'm assuming there aren't any custom maps with cutscenes that last more than 2 minutes)

Thank you for this craptonn of work. amazing stuff so far

Wanted to know, is this any way to ask AI to share a unit? Like a T2 engi for Cyb hive or sacu

Also does it understand map pings?

Seraphim walled PDs still largely useless (at least on Open Palms)

Yes there is a config error on the server with how mods are uploaded that should be resolved soon

Not clear that it's M28 that's causing it, the mod list looks like it is quite long:

This error appears a lot at the end of the log:
warning: Unable to load texture: c:\programdata\faforever\gamedata\units.nx2\units\urb2302\urb2302_specteam.dds
So it could be a graphical issue.

My suggestion would be to turn off as many mods as possible and see if you still get the error, and also post that error/link to the log on the technical support forum in discord (or here) to see if anyone else has an idea what the issue would be.

Most positions are closed or appointed. Moderation Councillor is voted upon by the current moderators. Balance Councillor is voted upon by the current balance team. Game Councillor is effectively appointed because like 2 dudes even touch the lua repo. DevOps precedent has basically been appointment but that's because there hasn't been a situation of multiple qualified candidates wanting to have the position. And so on and so forth.

For Player Councillor to operate in a similar fashion you'd need it to basically be like the trainers, TDs, and matchmaker team vote for their manager but the whole issue here is that these teams are quite fluid and low in barrier to entry. If I had a closed election like this, I'd have 4 dozen complaints about rigging the vote because I didn't let some dude that hadn't logged onto FAF for 3 years that had a trainer avatar in 2017 for a few months participate etc. Same thing with TDs. I already dealt with a ton of moaning because I would remove people as TDs if they failed to host a tournament within the last year, imagine that also carried the loss of some voter privilege.

@maudlin27

if you want to know what the AI is actual building and what platoonbuilder is used for it, then you could use my AI mod to debug this.

If activated my mod provides the following debug outputs:
DEBUG: AI Platoon names will show the name of the actual platoon on every unit.
DEBUG: AI BuilderManager will print the actual ordered buildplatoon to the moho debug window ([F9])

[Edit] if you need help with debugging, just post your mod here or on discord and we will look at it.

Thanks, if you could share the mod that’d be great! 🙂

Units can only get 1 veterancy level per kill

There was fixes like this one to make reparing cybran shield drain less ressources : https://github.com/FAForever/fa/pull/2703

I spent some time debugging the leaderboard issue today and I think I’ve found out why it’s not working. https://github.com/FAForever/server/issues/687

We're slowly force-upgrding people from older version. But a lot of people have really slow internet and are not pleased if I tell them to download 130mb on each minor release.
