    • Random UI improvements [UI mod]

      This mod contains some UI improvements that I coded a long time ago but as I stopped playing ~3yrs ago and lost motivation, all these were buried on my harddrive backyard 🙂 Now they finally collected in one mod. Better late than never, right?

      1. EasyReclaim hotkey

      New reclaim order that behaves almost same as default one, except that it ignores empty spots and accepts only those clicks that were placed on reclaimable objects. So no more fake orders while manually reclaiming stuff:

      2. Attack/nuke orders ignore units and always placed on the ground

      No need to drag attack orders anymore, just put it wherever you want.

      3. While using "Move" command it's no longer transform into patrol

      Now you can place as many move orders in one spot as you want. Very useful when dodging with single unit, like t1 arty etc.

      4. HardMove hotkey for air fights

      When HardMove mode is active, all right mouse clicks will be move orders, no matter where they placed, even if there is an enemy unit under cursor. Very useful for ait fights

      That's all for now 🙂

    • RE: 4v4 map list

      Adaptive Crateria. I don't like this map (sorry Morax) because of 2 things:

      1. textures (looks depressive :D). But that's just personal taste so nvm
      2. Early t1 air fights for these crystals fields which are too concentrated and also located too close to mexes. So loosing your transport/engies hurts too much, because your lose both reclaim and mexes, and it's very hard to compete in eco after that.

      My sugesstions:

      Also textures on Adaptive Kusoge are so painful for eyes, mb it's just me idk. Anyway Petric is afk, so unlikely it will be fixed.

      Random UI improvements in the mod vault. I putted [UI mod] in title so it's easier to recognize that it's actually a mod name and not just name of the topic where I posted some random things 🙂

    • RE: Random UI improvements [UI mod]

      Yep. That's why I added special cursors for each mode. 2 for reclaim and 1 for hard move. Left mouse button also disables HardMove btw.

      Also I forgot to mention in start post that TML order can also be tweaked so it's placed only on the ground. But there should be 2 versions of it for sure, because sometimes you just zooming out and casually clicking enemy mexes with tml and it's very handy when orders snap to mexes.

      Anyway, if someone want to use it now as default, just change 14 line in this file 'Mods\RUI\hook\lua\ui\game\commandmode.lua' to:

      local selectTolerance = {RULEUCC_Attack = true, RULEUCC_Nuke = true, RULEUCC_Tactical = true}

    • RE: Why does reclaiming a building not use the same logic as building a building?

      https://github.com/FAForever/fa/blob/deploy/fafdevelop/lua/sim/Unit.lua#L736

      Can add some logic here that adjusts engie's buildpower (unit:SetBuildRate) if the target is live building and then revert it back in unit.OnStopReclaim

      I'm not gonna do it, just giving ideas 😄

      Yeah, mod is under WTFPL license, so feel free to do anything you want.

      I was thinking about making a pr to fa repo, but then I should probably rework the code a little bit and all that stuff (don't want to spend time on that now). In UI mods everything is simple: it works and doesn't lag to death? Approved. 😄

      Only with replay parser I guess. If player uses macros there should be a lot of reclaim orders that are related to one object. When macros clicks 10+ times at same rock, player will do 2-3 clicks at max. But yes, with this mod detecting macros requires more efforts
