The goal of project is to utilize old UI mods and create new ones. New mods must be customizable in order for user to be able to enable/disable things user needs/doesn't need. Code base must be extendable for further development and be performant as well, so, user won't have issues with lagging game.

Here are already mods having more comfortable and customizable tools to work with.

What's next?

As you can see there are a lot of mods being developed by me, but why?
Let's look through mod vault and select the most popular:

Supreme Score Board

Legendary mod, I appreciate work been done by HUSSAR. It is one of the mods I really like. However it has obsoleted. Code base is poor, so, you can't add, you can't remove. It takes a lot of space in UI making user with smaller screens struggle using it.
In addition, It doesn't match factions' skins and doesn't hide with whole UI (Ctrl+Shift+F1).

Idle Engineers 1/2/reloaded

Performance issues, poor code base. Uncustomizable.

Supreme economy

Takes a lot of space in UI. Bad UI design. Poor code base. Uncustomizable.

Advanced Selection Info + similar mods

Performance issues. Uncustomizable.

ECO Manager

Legendary UI mod. There were rumors that you could become 3k using it. No, but you would have performance issues, bugged funcions, broken hotkeys and vulnerability to icon spamming (aka smds everywhere). In addition poor code base and uncustomizable functions you might not needed.

Cool, hah? But who am I to decide? Well, you decide to believe me or not.
Since I am doing this alone I can't even think about revolution and that's why I want your help.
I need:

• Devs: Very specific, but if you really want, ask me
• Testers: I can't test all things I do
• Promoters: Spread our goal around others and blame listed mods

Keep in mind that I also participate in FAF development and this extends to FA UI as well, there are tons of issues to be fixed.

Question mark will help you understand the functionality of mod

Attention:

• this mod does not replace your keybinds it uses its own ones
• however it blocks input so you wont be able to give orders to units based on keybinds, so, you will have to close window
• please report about any bugs, its important

In the end:
I hope community will help with promotion of the mod and its improvement, enjoy playing!

Also, here is the list of upcoming features:

• map ping with phrase - done
• better system of blocking input - done
• integrated emojis - ...

EzReclaim

Shows reclaim labels in reclaim mode.

Specific Target Priorities

Allows you to set target priority of any kind of unit. Bind
hotkey to target_specific located in Target priorities section. Hover over unit which type you want to target, and press key you binded to. (Doesn't override ACU targeting, due to snipe mode)

Engineer Alt Selection

Select only enginners with shift+alt

Smart Ring Display

Shows ranges on units when holding shift.

Beer

For aesthetes of beer. Plays beer open sound when mex starts upgrading and pour one when mex is completed.

This mod is superior version of old Selection Deprioritizer. ASE provides with more features and more stable and performant compared to predecessor.

Options

With options menu you can enable and disable certain functions in real time.

Lets go through each one of them to see what they do.

Domain filters

You can select what domain to prioritize during game. To do that you need to bind a key for Rotate Domain order. Rotating domain orders makes them be prioritized above others and the order is show with a message and with cursor label.

You can also use auto one, but it is an experimental feature and requires some time to get used to.

Unit lock

You can lock units from selecting with others. Only locked units can be selected together or with shift pressed. Bind Toggle units lock to use the feature.

Assister filter

Some units are crucial to be near others. Mobile shields, land scouts and stealth fields won't be selected if they are guarding any other unit.

Hovers and Naval

Hovers are helpful during naval combat, but they are considered as Land domain units. You can enable that hovers will be selected with naval units.

Exotics

Most units must stay behind others and should not be selected in first place. With that feature you can forget about long ranged units going in with rest of others during fights.

Compatibility

Mod may be incompatible with other mods that alter selection and somehow use it. Definitely incompatible Selection Deprioritizer.

Requires UI Mod Tools to function.

This mod has existed for 2 years, but was made when I was not that skilled enough to make it properly. Now I've decided to complete it as Select Spawn Locations!
During the start of the game you can pick location where to spawn at (with right click).

Right now it is just reimplementation of an old mod.
But I'm going to do more QoL features such as:

• "ready" button
• more spawn area shapes and auto shape selector
• support for more teams?

To start playing with this mod you have select proper spawn area type depening on map (better to play on map generators with lots of mexes spread around!)

I'd like to hear your opinion and if bugs occur, reports!

New assembly patch introduces one of the most demanded features: mass extractor template snapping.
It allows templates with mass extractors to snap to deposists.

Note: template must start with mex, otherwise it wont snap:

Available on FAF develop gamemode.

- Did you do it?
- Yes.
- What did it cost?
- 30 UI mods...

Idle engineers *** Idle Engineers Light

• less clutter on screen
• can be adjusted for your needs
• more performant compared to other similar mods

Supreme Scoreboard 4z0t's ScoreBoard

See dedicated forum post.

Ranges + Build Range preview Rings For All

• uses new engine functions to draw rings
• provides more data
• can be adjusted

Advanced target priorities Specific Target Priorities

• one button to rule them all

Allows you to target specific category of a unit. Hover over needed one and press keybind.
There are two different features:

• first one target_specific_type allows you to target only this kind on a unit;
• second one target_specific_common set target priority as common categoty for this unit:
  mass fabricator -> all mass fabricators from t2 to t3
  flak -> all static aa and then maa
  engineer -> engineers from t3 to t1
  ... and so on.

Keybind target_specific works in both ways: one click targets common category, double click - unit's kind.

EcoManager ECO UI Tools

• has more options to adjust mod with
• more performant

Shows counts of mexes in different states (idle, upgrading, paused) and progress of upgrade on a bottom of each state.

Panel has functions when clicking on a mex state:

• T1/T2 mexes
  • [Left] select all
  • [Right] select all on screen
  • [Ctrl + Left] start upgrading and pause
  • [Ctrl + Right] start upgrading and pause for those on screen
• T1/T2 upgrading mexes
  • [Left] select all
  • [Right] pause all
  • [Ctrl + Left] select one with highest progress
  • [Ctrl + Right] pause one with lowest progress
• T1/T2 upgrading paused mexes
  • [Left] select all
  • [Right] unpause all
  • [Ctrl + Left] select one with highest progress
  • [Ctrl + Right] unpause one with highest progress
• T3 mexes
  • [Left] select all
  • [Right] select all on screen

Panel is movable with middle mouse button.

And an inifinite list of other mods Kappa

Is your keyboard full of binds? Are you struggling with remembering all of them? Well, the second problem would get worse, but the first one has a solution! Advanced Key Actions!
An upcoming integration for FAF, which allows you to setup key actions based on current selection.

PR
Code example:

CategoryMatcher("Enter OC mode / Transport / Toggle repeat build")
{
    CategoryAction(), -- do nothing if no selection
    CategoryAction(categories.TRANSPORTATION)
        :Action "StartCommandMode order RULEUCC_Transport",
    CategoryAction(categories.COMMAND + categories.SUBCOMMANDER)
        :Action(import('/lua/ui/game/orders.lua').EnterOverchargeMode),
    CategoryAction(categories.FACTORY * categories.STRUCTURE)
        :Action(import("/lua/keymap/misckeyactions.lua").ToggleRepeatBuild)
}

Explanation:
This key action does nothing with no selection, with transports selected - transport action (pick and drop), with acus or sacus - goes into OC mode and when factories are selected - toggles repeat build. These are working separately only, so, having acu and factory selected nothing will happen.

UI: coming

@qazwer can you create a bug report on ReUI discord server or send me in pm log where error occured.

I think it is not about ddos anymore. It is rather implications of sanctions and Russia closing access to foreign websites.

I do not want to dig into sim mods' problems. I just have no clue how this can be possible.

Drawing on the map. In particular some elongated shapes.

Well, I guess it is a bug! Thanks for report.

@Commander_Bratan scaling option is available per panel.

@speed2 perhaps you could enlighten us how to fix it then instead of showing off your "Fixed in Equilibrium".
