Hello everybody,

do you sometimes get annoyed about unbalanced heightmap & props, different mex arrangement or unevenly distributed units in GPG or ladder maps?

The aim of the FAF version is to guarantee fair gaming conditions and to improve the gaming experience of our beloved GPG (Gas Powered Games) maps (stock maps included in the original game) as well as influential unknown/inactive author maps.

If the map author is no longer active, you are welcome to inform us about the problem here. You could even send us fixes. But be aware that they will be checked/tested by FAF Creative staff and ladder team.

Map upload of approved content stays in the hands of FAF Creative staff! Please don't upload any " - FAF version" yourself.

DOCUMENTED ISSUES

• Please check in advance if the issue is already documented or fixed
• If the problem is not documented, please let us know

The following maps have already been reworked and can be found in the vault under the suffix FAF version. Please download the latest map version .v000X for the best in game experience.

All maps can also be downloaded as FAF version map bundle.

FAF Creative workflow: How to create a FAF version?!

• The suffix - FAF version is added to the original map name

• If possible, FA maps (v60) should always be used as the basis for the FAF version. The FA maps (v60) are further developed (e.g. Skybox, different units, ...) compared to the SupCom (v56) ones.
  .
  Theta Passage - v56 VS v60:
  v56: \Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander\maps
  v60: \THQ\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander - Forged Alliance\maps
  

• search the vault for map versions that may already contain fixed issues.

• Always add ['ExtraArmies'] = STRING( 'ARMY_9 NEUTRAL_CIVILIAN' ), to the scenario.lua. ARMY_9 (GPG maps) / ARMY_17 (other maps) and NEUTRAL_CIVILIAN (all maps). Both armys also need an INITIAL and WRECKAGE subfolder for some mods to work properly.

• Add a reasonable norushradius if the value is 0

Tag Craftious Maximus - FAF version .v0004
78° angle based rework of TAG_Rock's (inactive author)map (v56): Tag_Craftious Maximus

Issue 13 & 13a
FAF version ensures symmetrical heightmap, textures/strata, decals, marker and props (180° rotation based on 78° angle of original content). Every resource & spawn marker had to be moved to the corresponding 180 ° position.

Textures/Strata
The unsightly mountain and grass textures in the water have been extensively revised.

Props
FAF version ensures symmetrical props (180° rotation based on 78° angle of original content). The 180° rotation of the props results in a slight increase of mass and energy.

Issue 13b
The map now contains AI marker --> No air marker displayed

Issue 13c
Due to the different heightmap depending slope calculation for structure placement the hydro on the bottom-left could not be build in v0001. The hydro at bottom-left and top-right (+ mass marker around it) have been move 3 in game units to the map center, to ensure that all hydros can be build. The same issue leads to factorys that cannot be build on the left side, if 1-2 in game units are used. See here for more information.

Issue 13d
Tweaked water settings and added waves.
Color Lerp Max: 0.101 -> 0.036
Refelction Sun: 1.100 -> 2.480

@Rowey @Resistance thanks for the info. That wasn't on purpose
The problem was caused by wrong unit restrictions and is now fixed.
old: local NAVALbuildRestriction = categories.NAVAL + categories.ANTINAVY
new: local NAVALbuildRestriction = categories.NAVAL + (categories.ANTINAVY * categories.STRUCTURE)

Thanks to @jip 's hint, version 2 also contains a black waterramp to achieve a better transition between the moon and space.

White Fire - FAF version .v0002
top and bottom based rework from original FA map (v60): SCMP_033
includes changes from White Fire v4 (v56)

Issue 26
FAF version ensures symmetrical props and wreckage (bottom based rework).

Props
The 180° rotation of the props results in an decrease of mass and energy.

Wreckage
The shipwrecks were removed like in White Fire v4 and the T3 naval factory wrecks have been placed symmetrical.

Issue 26a
The FAF version ensures symmetrical marker (top based rework). Every resource & spawn marker had to be moved to the corresponding 180 ° position (gray circle).

Issue 26b
The map now contains improved AI marker --> No air marker displayed

Note
The GPG version (SCMP_033) and White Fire v4 have different lighting. The values of the GPG version were used for the FAF version.

Forbidden Pass - FAF version .v0004
150° angle based rework from Krapougnak´s (inactive author) map (v56): Forbidden Pass v4

Issue 4a, 4b & 4d
FAF version ensures symmetrical heightmap, strata, decals & marker (180° rotation based on 150° angle of original content). Every resource & spawn marker had to be moved to the corresponding 180 ° position.

--> Original heightmap 180° rotation Video-Demo

Amphibious Passage
To avoid confusion, decals were added to the amphibious mountain passage. All amphibious units can use the passage, except experimentals.

Issue 4
FAF version ensures symmetrical props (180° rotation based on 150° angle of original content). The 180° rotation of the props results in a slight increase of mass and energy.

Issue 4c
The map now contains improved AI marker and ensures the use of all mexes through the AI (to close to the edge bug resolved) --> No air marker displayed

Loki - FAF version .v0003
left and right based rework from unknown author map (v56): Loki.v0003

Issue 25
FAF version ensures symmetrical props (right based rework). The 180° rotation of the props results in an decrease of mass and energy.

Issue 25a
The FAF version ensures symmetrical marker (left based rework). Every resource & spawn marker had to be moved to the corresponding 180 ° position (gray circle).

Issue 25b
The map now contains improved AI marker --> No air marker displayed

Note:
The units and structures are scripted (invincible walls, lowered mass for all placed units). These remain unchanged despite slight differences, since the low mass value is not an advantage.

Seraphim Glaciers - FAF version .v0001
77° angle and top based rework from original FA map (v60): SCMP_008

Issue 38
FAF version ensures symmetrical heightmap (except middle island). 180° rotation based on 77° angle of original content.

Issue 38a
FAF version ensures symmetrical marker (except middle island), no rush radius and props. Top based 180° rotation based on top half of original content.

Marker
ARMY spawns have been adjusted for Team Match Maker (TMM).

Almost every resource marker & spawn had to be moved to the corresponding 180 ° position (gray circle).

Props
The 180° rotation of the props does not change the mass and energy values.

Issue 38b
The map now contains improved AI marker --> No air marker displayed

FA AND FAF PROPS -->tool for map making

This map was created while I was working on Supreme Props and could be used for mapping purposes (e.g. export props to find matching props for your maps). The FAF integration of Supreme Props improves all given props and resolves many issues.

The left side of the map contains all FA & FAF props that are currently available (Aug 2019). The props are sorted by theme (see letters E = Evergreen). The circle decals indicate emitter and resource props as well as the formerly broken GeoRock01.

On the right side the props are sorted by size, type and quantity. The circle decals mark major differences, issues and bugged props that have been fixed. The wall-numbers only apply for mass and energy values of the Supreme Props Mod.

-3842: Station was abandoned due to economical total loss and evolving military conflicts on Mars.

The Seraphim just discovered Ahssa-Shi (named after god of reincarnation). The latest scans revealed that the planet is habitable, resource-rich and seems to have had large water reserves. Unfortunately the first exploring mission got somehow annihilated under mysterious circumstances at the landing site, plus the rescue signal was intercepted by the other factions. These events postponed further investigations, in order to win the battle ahead.
