Advanced Strategic Icons mod

[ghostronin]

I have to whitelist it.

You can thank people throwing nxt/scd files all around messing with game.

Thanks Ze. Perhaps, this is happening to Duck's Lobby Manager mod as well? It also stopped working for me since that last patch, and like the icon mod is also not installed thru the mod vault.

Awkward situation, when will this problem be corrected?

Isnt the mod working? I cant play this game anymore without it, my eyes start to bleed due to small symbols.

Mod not working since last patch. My other mods installed thru the mod vault are working. Any change to make it into a mod installable thru the mod vault?

Apparently, Ze_PilOt blocked basic modding functionality with the clam that it's 'messing with the game'. He also said that he will 'whitelist' the ASI mod but I don't know when it would happen.
In the meantime you all just have to bare with the eye pain or play outside FAF (Through Steam or vanilla) as dictatorial platform patches that block modding is somthing out of my hands.

Again, blame the modders missing too much with the game.
And by the way, a .scd/.nxt file is NOT a mod but an alteration of the game.

You prefer people able to play the game flawlessly or people that have tons of problems without knowing why?

So yes, It come with restrictions that doesn't please you, but these are temporary and it's for the best.

Erm, mod = modification = alternation, right?

FA has a mod system. Any mod is freely useable with FAF.

SCD files are alterations of FA files. This is not directly supported by FA or FAF.

Yes, it's modding, but you don't use the mod support of FA, and so it's not 100% safe.

Excellent, that will spare a serious eye pain for a lot of people.. But what would happen when I create a new version?

If it means that mods that gives unfair advantage like an automatic fabricators would be denied then you just turned me into an enthusiastic supporter.

From what I recall this modding method is called "Shadowing" and it's one of the original ways for modding the game before the new way was added by a patch.

Hey, you can block modding altogether by me, I just answered one of the many complaints I keep getting recently that may portray me as an incompetent creator just because of some unknown dictatorial patch from space (It dictates what mods would work and what wouldn't).

Thanks for getting this done Zep! Sorry if this is obvious, but how do we get the now whitelisted mod back? I tried to play Sunday night and the icons were gone. I tried looking through options to see if it had been incorporated but I couldn't find anything (it also is confusing because GAZ has a lot of options that look like they might be this mod but aren't of course). I tried searching the mod vault and didn't find it.
