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.

v173-174 Updates
14 changes, including:

v173 - Added a workaround for the ahwassa switching targets at the last minute and no longer dropping a bomb v173 - Fixed some scenarios where land experimentals wouldn't go for an ACU kill v174 - Naval forces should run more generally if they lack enough AA to handle the enemy torp bomber threat, and should upgrade to T2 sooner v174 - Reduced some factory construction (including quantum gateways), e.g. on naval maps early on, or (in the case of gateways) when M28 still has mexes left to upgrade v174 - Adjusted rally point selection so units should be less likely to retreat into an enemy force that can hit them from an adjacent zone.

Acknowledgements

Radde - 4 Mapgen replays against 172 M28 and a couple of earlier Xander replays (which formed the basis for the 5 v173 changes) Vortex - 2 naval based replays against 173 M28 (which formed the basis for most of the 9 v174 changes)

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.
