Another option is make the lights the player colour.

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?

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.

@banani
This fits so well.

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.

@emperor_penguin just tested it, the AutoBalance works well, however I think there could be bug where some players were not placed correctly (their positions in the lobby did not match their game positions). I was the host on gap map and I was front on team 1, then I auto balanced and I was moved to air team 2. However when the game started I was placed front on team 1 (not sure on the other players) can you confirm this?

Back in 2019 I created some code with the idea to quickly find the fairest Teams for the players in a lobby. A pull request was made by shalkya called "Button for balancing teams". It would be nice if someone with FA lobby knowledge could finish this pull request as I think most of the hard work has been done already.

That way all players would need to do a hit the balance team button and then decide which positions they want to play (players can then manually balance slots for who vs who).

Should Strategic Missile Submarines be able to make AntiNukes? This can add more strategies in defending navy from nukes. Also a way to hide your smd if water is near your base. Maybe the cost of the AntiNukes could be cheaper and quicker to build as the Strategic Missile Submarine is more vulnerable. What are your thoughts

Should also allow Factories to Assist engineers/units

@adreno349 Do you have memory overclocking turned on in the bios? xmp/docp/eocp
and is precision boost overdrive turned on?

How about when stealth is turned on, it uses more fuel.

@M0rPh3u5 https://forum.faforever.com/topic/123/guide-fake-fullscreen-and-optimisation/66
Try out the Launcher, supports single and dual screen borderless fullscreen window mode for FAF.

The problem is at 11.40 or 17mins there is T3 air at that stage, it is just too risky to have the ACU be out in front with the splash upgrade were all it takes is 2 strats to take the acu out.

If T3 air did not come into play until the 17-20 min mark then splash upgrade is a good option as there is time to use it before t3 air comes.

If you ask me under 10 min strategic bomber is too fast, however that is a another topic.

If the Novax is allowed to intercept nukes maybe it could be listed as a feature of the unit in the description or added to the wiki so it can be more clear it is not an exploit but rather a feature.

@ZooDoo4U Make sure you are not using the old nvidia driver with the lag issue.
Also with 5950x make sure you have docp/xmp turned on and also precision boost overdrive.

I have found that by the time you can afford the splash upgrade there are strategic bombers on the map (around the 10 to 15 min mark). Once there are strategic bombers on the map it is not safe for the acu to be walking around.

Here are 2 options

1. Make the splash upgrade be on par as the Cybran laser, making the seraphim acu be able to do tele snipes like Cybran with laser.
2. Make it a lot cheaper but only have it increase the gun range and speed a little.

Would be good if the ground around hydros and mexe were flat, sometimes you cannot build metal storage around mexes or airports next to hydros.

Run some software such as aida64 to see if you are thermal throttling, this will determined if your thermal past has degraded or your vents are blocked.

Also if you are going to keep using this laptop upgrade to a 1TB ssd, they are quite cheap; However it really is time for either an upgrade or build a new PC.

For Ryzen make sure your memory is overclocked (XMP, DOCP. with an extra overclock) and precision boost is turned on.
Also make sure your memory is running in dual channel.
If you want to upgrade at some point check your motherboard CPU compatibility list.
What would be a good option is wait for the next Ryzen CPU release (which is soon) and upgrade to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D when it is on sale or second hand.

However a Ryzen 5 2600 is still quite a good CPU.
