Most simple solution - if they are your friends they will abide by the rules

You still can make a mod that add that function to powerlobby.

I've considered VPNs like Hamachi and it would certainly help if we decide to play older games, but if FAF has unit-restriction support I could tweak the mod pretty easily. We've been distracted by other stuff for a while and didn't find out about GPGnet's demise until a week ago so I'm researching our options; from what I've seen FAF, Steam and VPN all have drawbacks.

I would use the FAF exe file located in programdata folder and then log me in himachi to play with your friends via lan

FAF, unit restrictions and LEM functionality

2012-06-04T01:20:33+02:00

Sorry if this is the wrong section but it sounds like it's too 'under the hood' for GD. A couple of friends and I enjoy casual FA play against Sorian AIs and we've created a mod that both spawns some units and has an itemized list of T4 unit restrictions that we use to keep Sorian on a short leash. When I create an FAF game I see my mod in the list, but the unit restrictions aren't available. The unit-restrictions part of the mod has a UnitRestrictions.lua file and some other stuff which enumerates a set of restrictions. This works by taking advantage of a Lobby Enhancement Mod feature that scans the active mods for these enum definitions and adds them to the main list, allowing one to create additive lists of restrictions across various mods.

From reading over patch notes it sounds like FAF doesn't work with LEM since it's got its own way of doing things, but is there similiar functionality in the FAF lobby?
