Something i liked in planetary annihilation is having a factory be able to assist a engineer and have all newly created engineers and units assist the targeted engineer.

Would this be helpful to add?

@banani
This fits so well.

I have improved the script, here is my result

The Definitive Supreme Commander Windowed Script

For single and dual screen
v1.00
thecore, tatsu, IO_Nox other sources on the net

Features
Supports the following
Forged Alliance Forever
Downlord's FAF Client
LOUD Forged Alliance
Steam Forged Alliance
Steam Supreme Commander
Switch between single and dual screen
Lock mouse within game

How to install

1. Install all the different version of Supreme Commander (see Features of supported games)

2. Install Common Mod Tools mod (This can be done from the Downlord's FAF Client)

3. Install ui-party mod (This can be done from the Downlord's FAF Client)
   Now open each game, enable ui-party mod and set resolution to Windowed, DO NOT SKIP THIS
   NOTE Steam Supreme Commander does not support ui-party mod

4. Download Supreme Commander Launchers.zip
   Now i am not able to upload a zip file for some strange reason so i have embedded it into a doc file, open the doc file and upzip from there
   Supreme Commander Launchers.doc
   If a forum moderator can fix the zip upload they can update it here

5. Unzip Supreme Commander Launchers to your game directory
   Note you should have 5 shortcuts (that will be configured) a scripts folder and an icons folder

6. Configure Client Forged Alliance Forever shortcut
   right click on Client Forged Alliance Forever shortcut and select properties
   Enter in the following for target, note you must enter in you drive letter and the directory locaiton
   !REPLACE ALL CAPS!
   "D:\THE LOCATION TO THE GAME DIRECTORY\Supreme Commander Launchers\scripts\AutoHotkeyU32.exe" "D:\THE LOCATION TO THE GAME DIRECTORY\Supreme Commander Launchers\scripts\multiMonitor.ahk" client

NOTE the " client is the pram

Replace Start In with the THE LOCATION TO THE SUPREME COMANDER LAUNCHERS FOLDER

Click change icon and use the icon in the icons folder (forgedallianceIcon.ico)
Repeat the process for the other shortcuts, however replace pram in Target as follows
Client Forged Alliance Forever = multiMonitor.ahk" client
Forged Alliance Forever = multiMonitor.ahk" faf
LOUD Forged Alliance = multiMonitor.ahk" loud
Steam Forged Alliance = multiMonitor.ahk" steamFAF
Steam Supreme Commander multiMonitor.ahk" steamSC

An example of what the shortcuts will look like are

Client Forged Alliance Forever
Target
"E:\Games\Supreme Commander Launchers\scripts\AutoHotkeyU32.exe" "E:\Games\Supreme Commander Launchers\scripts\multiMonitor.ahk" client

Start in
"E:\Games\Supreme Commander Launchers"

Forged Alliance Forever
Target
"E:\Games\Supreme Commander Launchers\scripts\AutoHotkeyU32.exe" "E:\Games\Supreme Commander Launchers\scripts\multiMonitor.ahk" faf

Start in
"E:\Games\Supreme Commander Launchers"

LOUD Forged Alliance
Target
"E:\Games\Supreme Commander Launchers\scripts\AutoHotkeyU32.exe" "E:\Games\Supreme Commander Launchers\scripts\multiMonitor.ahk" loud

Start in
"E:\Games\Supreme Commander Launchers"

Steam Forged Alliance
Target
"E:\Games\Supreme Commander Launchers\scripts\AutoHotkeyU32.exe" "E:\Games\Supreme Commander Launchers\scripts\multiMonitor.ahk" steamFAF

Start in
"E:\Games\Supreme Commander Launchers"

Steam Supreme Commander
Target
"E:\Games\Supreme Commander Launchers\scripts\AutoHotkeyU32.exe" "E:\Games\Supreme Commander Launchers\scripts\multiMonitor.ahk" steamSC
Start in
"E:\Games\Supreme Commander Launchers"

!! Dubble check to make sure everything is correct !!

So now you should have 5 shortcuts with icons each with a different pram

7. open scripts\multiMonitor.ahk
   Note you can use notepad++

8. Settings that the user can change if they want to
   "global clipMouse = true" on by default
   "global autoSetMonitorSize := true" on by default
   "global startInDualScreenMode := false" off by default

9. Settings the user must change !!!
   pathOrLinkLOUD
   pathOrLinkClient
   The directory of where the game exe is,
   e.g "E:\Games\supremeCommanderForgedAlliance"

By default FAF is located in "C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin"
For LOUD you are need to find the SCFA_Updater.exe location
For Downlord's FAF Client you need to find the downlords-faf-client.exe location

That should be it for setting up

How to use
To enable dual Screen mode press Ctrl F12
To enable single Screen mode press Ctrl F11
To stop the script press Ctrl F10
You can use the windows key to untrap the mouse

Bugs and limitations
ui-party mod
If you switch from dual screen to single screen when the match has started the idle avatar does not position correctly.
The ui-party icon also does not position correctly.
The drop down menu also does not quite position correctly
Steam Supreme Commander does not support ui-party mod

I spent a few days to get this to work I hope people find it helpful.

Maybe instead of a new campaign you could do something like what age of empires 3 DE Art Of War did. At the end of each mission you are given a gold silver and bronze medal
Each mission focus on learning a new game mechanic.

I think some AIR units (such as T3 ASF) need to curry less fuel, units like T3 boomers tend to only have one trip.

@jip I am not sure, you may need to ask them

Another thing that could be added is showing the NAT TYPE like in Start, select Settings > Gaming > Xbox Networking, and look for NAT Type under Xbox Live multiplayer

Had a gap game crash for all player, it was weird because we could still talk but the debugger popped up

Sadly i do not have the error log for it.

1.03
Fix an issue with FAF client games where the loading Image timer was not turned back on resulting in the auto fullscreen not working after the first game.

multiMonitor.txt

Version 1.02

• Added auto enable Dual screen mode (enableAutoDualScreen default is true)
• Added auto disable Dual screen mode, the script will check for the end game stats
  menu
• Improved some code and bugs

Add the following images to \pics\endgame

and under \pics\loadgame

Here is version 1.02
code.txt

Bugs

• The chart does not auto refresh when going from dual screen mode to single screen mode though you can just reselect the chart and it will refresh.
• In order for auto dual screen to work you the game window has to be active.

With my updated Windowed dual screen Script I found a few bugs with Party mod
https://forum.faforever.com/topic/123/guide-fake-fullscreen-and-optimisation/39

If you switch from dual screen to single screen when the match has started the idle avatar does not position correctly.
The ui-party icon also does not position correctly.
The drop down menu also does not quite position correctly

https://forum.faforever.com/assets/uploads/files/1631604436553-untitled-1-resized.jpg

Another improvement I just made is auto detect when the match is loading and auto switch to dual screen mode. This using the ImageSearch function.

To do this you do

SetTimer, loadingSearch, 100

loadingSearch:
	if (!ProcessExist(procGame)) 
		return
	;//checks if t
	if(!loaded) 
		return
	var := 0
	loop , 8
	{
	  var += 1
	  CoordMode Pixel,Relative
	  ImageSearch, FoundX, FoundY, 0, 0, width, height, *50, %A_ScriptDir%\pics\%var%.jpg ;
	  if (ErrorLevel = 0)
	  {
		resize(width*2, height,procGame,true)
		settimer, loadingSearch, OFF
		break
	  }
	 }
return

And the references pics you can use are here, put them in a folder in scripts called pics and call them
1.jpg
2.jpg
3.jpg
4.jpg
5.jpg
6.jpg
7jpg
8.jpg

Now i have only tested for 1920x1080 so if the ImageSearch cannot find the image you may need to play around with it.

I updated the resize rule

resize(x, y, gametype,active) 
{
	if(active = true)
	{
		if(dualScreenActive = true)
			return
		dualScreenActive := true
	}
	else
	{
		if(dualScreenActive = false)
			return
		dualScreenActive := false
	}	
		WinMove, % "ahk_exe " gametype , , moveX, moveY, %x%, %y% 
		WinMaximize, % "ahk_exe " gametype
		WinRestore, % "ahk_exe " gametype
}

So now when a game starts it will try and find the image and switch to dual screen mode. Have tested it and it is working quite nicely though you may need to add more images for different mods.

For my updated script you do not need to convert the ahk file.
Just right click on the ahk file and go properties and click open with and select the AutoHotkeyU32.exe file in scripts

Something i liked in planetary annihilation is having a factory be able to assist a engineer and have all newly created engineers and units assist the targeted engineer.

Would this be helpful to add?
