      at least compatible with downlords

      That doesn't make any sense, kyros lobby is about the lobby so the game code. Which is completely independent from the client.

          I have a mod idea, which can be usefull for everyone. Something like "scouting overlay" - just draw transparent decal with specific texture after 30-60-120-240 seconds of not scouting an area. You can just break map in 50x50 pixel chunks and if scouting plane (t1/t3) was around that square in last 1 secod (10 ticks) (something like if (centerX - 1.5 scout rarar/vision range < planeX < centerX + 1.5 scout rarar/vision range) && (same for Z) square[] = scoutedTimesamp()). And render new decal each 10-30 seconds.

          This will make remembering to scout specific spots periodically way more useful.
          Mod will not be 'cheaty' cause its better UI 😃

            While possibly not impossible its not a mod. I want to do. It’ll be more than a tad hard to code. And given my level or ability. If I did code it. Rip SIM Speed.

            Also I feel having to say its not a cheat mod is not the most confidence inducing honesty. I’ll atleast take a look. But I got several projects line up right now. In addition to scta things. After I do Deribus, Archi and some other requests.

            I can look into this

              Nah, check can be done once in 5-10 seconds, it can be made reasonably fast. Y can check only scout planes, and usually there is not a ton of them in game.

                I'd love a mod that makes players on a team all have similar colours if possible please. So Team one would be light blue, dark blue, light green, dark green, turquoise and team 2 would be red, dark red, pink, orange, yellow for instance.

                I get so confused in team games and the built-in option turns the entire team the exact same colour which creates its own problems.

                In case it's relevant I use this icon mod already so please only spend time on it if they would work together. https://wiki.faforever.com/index.php?title=Advanced_Strategic_Icons

                    That one sounds pretty cheaty. I'd run that by @biass before making it.

                      Its only avaliable information to the player. Basically like Supreme Economy it counts the enemy mexes for example you see or scouted and determines income.

                        Yeah I understand that part, but I still think it's too cheaty. However it's not my call to make which is why I said to talk to Biass

                          This isn't perfect, but I updated kyro's for UI scaling, and few other things that didn't work. It still has issues though which I cannot fix, such as colors not always assigning correctly. Works fine for me otherwise. You will have to rename it from txt to lua since it wouldn't let me upload it otherwise.

                              Hey @Dragun101, is it possible to add a mod or edit this mod to create hotkeys that cycle through these icons that appear when you have a unit selected: a185727d-41b5-4b48-9eba-a436d8626866-image.png

                              And preferably these icons if it's an ACU/SACU: 52fdd21a-0212-4e00-904d-663c06207a97-image.png

                              This will mostly just allow quicker upgrades, so perhaps just making bindable hotkeys for various upgrades would also be good?

                                Possible yes.
                                Doable? Easier said than done. Also Prize you on Discord?

                                    UI mod idea: a patrol that does not make unit follow enemy units. so basicly move orders instead of attack-move-orders.
                                    uses:

                                    1. autododge mmls, t1 arty and maybe other things, (frigate vs arty vs bomber vs mmls for example)
                                    2. ASFS and inties don't chase enemy units to enemy AA
                                    3. maybe other cases when you want to have units follow certain move orders and not diverge from them to chase random stuff

                                    Could be implemented by clicking move orders and then pressing certain hotkey to make it into patrol or making a patrol and pressing hotkey and turining it into a non agressive patrol

                                      A mod idea i had: 'back-off after shooting command', basically attack-move with a twist for slow firing units like mmls/snipers/ships/arty.
                                      It will 'attack move' to specific location and after after using a shot will move units in opposite direction for half time of firing cycle and will use attack-move to same place again, repeat until arriving to attack spot. This can be considered a bit 'cheaty' cause squishy slow firing units won't stand in same place waiting for arty shot each time they encounter enemies.

                                          is I hate seeing mixed colors like you mentioned.
                                          My OCD with this has me even sorting colors when I play AI solo.

                                          These are the colors for the Rainbow Tourny going on now,,
                                          finishes on Feb 6,,
                                          watch streams on faflive twitch and others to see your idea in action.
