@jip After seeing what you said about the pain of developers, I feel very sorry and sad. Imagine how much FAF would have changed if these developers had stayed. In any case, there is no RTS on the market that can achieve the same quality, good visual design, and large-scale combat as FAF. I would rather the FAF changes and even becomes a completely different game to the FA than to see it remain stagnant.
Imagine if all these developers had stayed and contributed, we might now have multiple versions of FAF with different focuses to play! (For example, some focus on AI combat, PVE, or cooperative missions, some focus on 1V1, and some focus on 4V4)
Unfortunately, the unhealthy atmosphere of community discussion continues to discourage developers. While I hope you continue to contribute more to FAF, I also hope you find joy in what you do. Whether or not you choose to continue writing code for FAF in the future, I thank you for bringing us these exciting optimizations, thank you.

@zbc Great. I'm looking forward to your work

@saver Thank you for your work. I think I prefer exaggerated models over conservative ones (meaning they look larger and have greater differences compared to the original version). For example, Cybran's buildings have more and longer "claws" or "spikes", while other factions' buildings have more and taller decorations or structures

@obituarypizza The first method: In your faf client /reply section, you can search for your own reply according to your account name.
Second way: You can find the reply folder in the options at the top left corner of the FAF client. You can look in the folder according to the time when the reply was created
Third method: Every time the game crashes, the client will pop up a window to record the game log. If you open this log file and search for "ID", you will find a text that reads "reply ID".

@ZBC Thank you very much! The tail flame of a nuclear bomb is amazing. However, some effects are exaggerated (such as overly coarse and large explosion maps when buildings explode, and some overly exaggerated tml smoke effects), and some effects (such as smoke, fire) are still best used by the steam original. Are there plans to continue optimizing and updating this mod? Visual improvements are always exciting

@maudlin27 hi, I was wondering if the changes to the loud part will affect FAF's mod? Some mod units are weak, but I still want to see them in the game.
Also, when playing faf's high cheat multiplier, I found that the M28 hardly builds land T3. Basically, only a large number of ASF and experimental are built. Although I like to see a variety of experimental products, can M28 also make full use of the land factory in the case of high resource overflow? For example, if the resource overflow of M28 is high, can all these idle LAND factories build a large number of diversified T3 land, and directly set the production assembly point at the enemy base?

@jip Yes, mainly the lights and animations that only exist when the unit is alive still exist when it is destroyed.Thank you for your work!

@zbc Thank you very much for your work, and there is another bug about totalmayhem that I reported before, if you are interested
Re: Total Mayhem 1.37 for all game versionsReferencing a bug reported earlier in discord regarding the building animation of two aeon units (BROT3BT and BROT3BT2,) :

Re: Current air unit crash effect BUG report

@jip
As you can see, the air unit goes into the sea after being destroyed, and the animation on the model continues to play. Submerged in the sea, the areon experimental air craft has been destroyed, but the animation of the model continues to play above as if it were still functioning after the crash. And this process will continue for nearly half a minute, until he sinks to the bottom of the sea before becoming a wreck.

@zbc BUG report: The AEON experimental siege weapon (BAL0401) in the blackops MOD will summon 8 meteorites from the sky to attack, if you command the unit to stop or move when the 8 meteorites are halfway summoned (e.g., 3 or 4), The unit would be completely stuck here, unable to attack, unable to move, unable to give any commands.

Great work, thank you. However, I wish Serapham could get more attention; most mods overlook this faction.

BUG in d3d12 mode.

Additionally, I have observed that smoke particles from certain explosions behave abnormally; compared to the original version, they drift outward and upward for an excessive amount of time and fail to dissipate. At times, smoke particles remain visible directly in front of the camera for an extended period. I have been unable to consistently reproduce this bug.

@draiget Thanks a lot for your work, and I’m really glad to use this new release. I have two small requests:

1. I’ve submitted several PRs to the original FAF binary patches besides the particle pool limit one, including tracks/treads related fixes and memory optimizations. They may also be useful for your project.
2. I’ve noticed some visual differences compared to standard FAF. For example, ship wake trails appear much fainter than they are on the official FAF engine.

Thanks for your work. A small suggestion: you might want to make full use of AI tools to optimize the textures and visual effects for these ported units—the results could be quite impressive.

Another small suggestion: Could the M28easy also be divided into different styles like rush, navy, etc.? I like the rush style of M28, which allows building a large number of low-level units and land units, but I don’t want M28 to use micro-management like hovering.

@maudlin27 Thank you for your work. Is it possible to enable automatic formation movement for a certain number of land units, such as 10?

@saver Thank you for your work. I think I prefer exaggerated models over conservative ones (meaning they look larger and have greater differences compared to the original version). For example, Cybran's buildings have more and longer "claws" or "spikes", while other factions' buildings have more and taller decorations or structures

To be honest, I really hope that M28 can have a simplified mode that allows all micro-operations to be disabled, so I don't have to operate each unit individually. I don't want to see all the army units crowded together and bumping into each other. Moreover, many ASF and fish bombers tend to gather together or hover during attacks. I hope there can be a more simplified mode where M28 can just select these units with a box and issue a unified attack command, avoiding frequent independent operations on each unit.
The current M28 easy still has too many micro-operations.

@Saver Thank you. It is brnt2exm2 in the total mayhem mod. This unit has obvious track problems, you can try it.
Additionally, I have noticed that almost all MOD units have the same issue: their tracks appear to rotate upside down when viewed from the side. That is to say, from the top, the track is normally moving forward, but from the side, it is moving backward, which almost happens in all mod units.
The original Fatboy also had this issue. I am now very skeptical that this issue should be a common occurrence. The default movement animation playback for all track units is the opposite for the side of the track. Perhaps the way all track units move animations are played should be changed to solve this problem that exists in all track units.

@Saver Thank you for your work. Could you explain how to fix this issue? I seem to have found a similar issue in another mod.
