      Also an idea for mod 'select units with <25% hp(to fallback and ctrl-k), <50% hp'(to fallback beside healthy units), select veteran units with <25% hp (so they can heal a bit)', probably a best way for UI is to filter current selection like 'no fuel' does.

        @Fearghal @ZLO @techmind_ I uploaded this mod to the vault. It is called "ChatBeepLite"

        I uploaded it with @Uveso 's permission

        I'm calling it a "lite" version of Uveso's ChatBeep mod, rather than overwriting the existing ChatBeep mod, because it does some things differently:

        -A different noise (it's not really a beep, it's a chirping noise)
        -It doesn't chirp for global messages because those usually aren't worth reading
        -It won't chirp more than about once per second even if there are lots of messages
        -It has different configuration options

        I recommend this mod to EVERYBODY who has ever watched a replay of your own team game and noticed that you missed important chat messages during the game . . . if anyone tells you that they didn't notice a chat message, you can recommend this mod to them

            Is there some version of advanced strategic icons that only has only important changes? like SMD/SML/ACU maybe TML and no other weird stuff?

            Edit: Tho not sure how much that helps. i have seen Paralon using penis icon for Nuke and it didn't help him to notice it https://youtu.be/PCE3H78CJQ4?t=5933

              I would like such UI mod as well, I remember my game vs Petric in a tourney on Seton's where I couldn't see his Nuke because the t1 pgens around it hidden it.

                PM me and I’ll discuss the details its 100% possible and quite easy to do so. Its just rather convoluted

                  You can do it by yourself. Install advanced strategic icons and delete unused icons
                  Why it is better to do it by yourself?

                  • You can save the icons that needs only you
                  • You can always restore another icons

                    Or you can do it another far easier way. And come a couple months even easier

                        Well maybe, there is a small chance anyways.

                            People are looking into letting vault mods modify strategic icons by modifying tje init

                                  The mod vault can't hold ui mods that modify icons in the game. There is work being done to let it do so. The solution to letting them do it is different from the way advanced strategic icons is currently built. So building on that foundation is going to be different than the more future-proof method he is talking about.

                                    While it is not released yet, we can use the "old" solution... No?

                                      Of course it is would be cool if there will be the release where we can modify textures like lua files via hook in mod folder

                                        Well you can always use the old solution afaik; it just can't be put into the ui mod vault which means it's a PITA to go get and then update when needed.

                                          a mod that removes the unnecessary huge borderline from the minimap.

                                            Edit:
                                            So I've been told that downloading that file and just adding it to that directory didn't work. Don't know why, perhaps during the installation of the mod it adds something to the game.pref file. My mistake, and my apologies if I wasted your time trying this. At least it works on my pc.

                                            dfeae774-df21-475d-bf2d-fab560590238-image.png

                                            I know it's been said that the Advanced Strategic Icons mod is getting worked on to be easily customisable, but here's a temporary simple solution for anyone who wants it. Place this .nxt file:

                                            https://ufile.io/ucr5qs4r

                                            in

                                            C:\ProgramData\FAForever\gamedata

                                            It uses the small versions from the mod of nuke, SMD, TML and TMD. I also took the ACU icon and increased it from about 12x12 pixels to 16x16. It made it blurry due to pixels doing their thing, so I touched it up just now by hand in Gimp to make it crisp again.
