Hello Krapougnak,

well, it won't help you with your Napalm Bomb problem

It's basically a mod that creates the scripts (well its not more then an array) for the Sorian AI.
I am using it for mods like TotalMayhem or Experimental Wars to tell the AI how to use all those units.

There are also some basic checks for Unitblueprints.
For example: it's looking inside the catogories for "Categories.TECH1" and checks if the Techlevel is matching the "General.TechLevel" entry. For TECH1 it should be "RULEUTL_Basic" etc. Then i get a message inside the LOG window and have to patch the error by Hand.

And the soundcheck simply plays all unitsounds and weaponsounds. Inside the LOG window i will see then, if a sounds fails to play.

And i use this mod to hook gamefiles to check, bugfix or whatever i need to do.

greetings Uveso.

Hey Uveso thank you for the detailed answer. I run at home a compilation mod with all sort of mods and some custom changes, If I understand you correctly, I think your Debugger could be useful to me as I'm not originally a coder and I'm too lazy/ too uninformed to modify the AI to use all the new units in my mod. Plus the other functions could also help me debug my monstruous mod.

If it is easy to use would it be possible for you to send it to me ? Answer in pm please so we don't derail anymore Hussar thread.

Concerning my "Napalm Mobile Bomb" project, yeah it seems I will have to find a workaround on my own or drop it

I mean inside the Mods Manager like this:

modmanager.png

Then we have the same view like the tooltip inside the FAForever Play tab, and the Mod-Vault.

I dont think it makes much sense to add this to the Units Manager.

Thank you verry much, Hussar.

I use the beta and love your mod and unitmanager. Fantastic work!

Can you do me a favor ? is it possible to display the mod-version-number after the modname, like inside the Vault ?
This would make it from fantastic to perfect

greetings Uveso.

I'm glad you like it Uveso!

Are you asking to add mod-version-number after the mod-name in the Mods Manager or in a tooltip that shows up when one hovers over modded unit in Units Manager?

This is a known issue and it has been corrected in tooltips in Units Manager (see FAF beta). I will try to correcting it in game tooltips too.

Bugfix for Unit Tooltip

2016-03-30T08:08:51+02:00

This is the original Tooltip showing the UEF Fatboy:

There are 1x Gauss Cannon, 4x Hells Cannon and 2x Angler Torpedos. But this is wrong.

If i take a look into the Blueprint i see these Weapons:

Code:: Line 449: DisplayName = 'Gauss Cannon', Line 540: DisplayName = 'Gauss Cannon', Line 630: DisplayName = 'Gauss Cannon', Line 722: DisplayName = 'Gauss Cannon', Line 813: DisplayName = 'Hells Fury Riot Gun', Line 884: DisplayName = 'Hells Fury Riot Gun', Line 957: DisplayName = 'Linked Railgun', Line 1036: DisplayName = 'Linked Railgun', Line 1113: DisplayName = 'Angler Torpedo', Line 1170: DisplayName = 'Death Weapon',

There are 3x Gauss Cannon, 2x Hells Cannon and 1x Angler Torpedos.

The Tooltip should look like:

I Uploaded 2 mod files:
UnitToolTipPatch.rar
UnitToolTipPatch is correcting the Weapon count and adds the DPS/Mass and DPS Overview Line.
DPS/Mass Means, if a unit cost 100 Mass and has 50 DPS, then DPS/Mass efficiency is 50%

UnitToolTipBugFix.rar
UnitToolTipBugFix is only a bugfix for the Weapon count and dont add any extra line.

greetings Uveso.
