Upgrade SACU Mod

[Falkyron]

Hey guys. I've been looking around for a mod I've seen mentioned a few times which would allow a player to upgrade their Support Armored Command Units without manually clicking through for each separate ACU, with no luck. Whether it would be one that would allow queued upgrades on a single ACU, or perhaps the ability to upgrade multiple ACUs at the same time? Upgrading gets pretty tedious in a lot of games where SACUs become prominent.

Has anybody encountered what they're talking about? I'd prefer one that didn't tamper with the balance of the game too much, if possible.

hey,

i think Gaz UI thingy does that in the SCU manager part,

BUT in DMS ?(my mod) you can grab a bunch of units by type (SUBCOMMANDER) and apply some code to all units...

to actually grab all them units is not hard without DMS, ui code is not difficulult, but with DMS global enhancements you could very easly add any enhancement to all the selected units with just one function call. i added sim code to init an enhancement on any unit or group of units with just one function call. :/ the code actually builds the enhancement
provided the unit has pre req enh (if any) it doesnt just give the enh.

try modding one yourself? ill help where i can as im sure others will also.

give it a go?

The Gaz UI already lets you select a bunch of scus and start the same upgrade on all of them at once. Im not sure what additional functionality you were wanting Falkyron?

He wanted a way to either:
A: Queue upgrades
B: Build a set of upgrades (like the SCU presets only you can do it with SCUs instead of the Quantum Gate)

Both would be nice to finally get over the "adjacency but not adjacency for Quantum Gate because MUH CHEAP RAS" thing

I believe the existing UI allows for multiple SCUs to be given an upgrade order at once. I believe without mods I was able to create multiple SCUs, select them, and give them all an upgrade order.

If you're looking to queue multiple upgrades, the Notify V2 and higher should provide that for you. I actually just released Notify V3.3 today which makes some really good enhancements I think to the queueing behavior seen in prior versions of the mod.

The upgrade beacon you mean? Never got it to work on my part.
Thanks absence of documentation

I assume you're referring to the first part of my post. I'm talking about literally selecting a group of SCUs, clicking the enhancement tab and clicking an upgrade. I don't know what the upgrade beacon is.

GAZUI allows you to upgrade multiple at once. GAZUI has been implemented into FAF for a while, that is why you don't notice. Notify allows queueing up upgrades, but even better is automatically upgrading SACUs when they leave the gateway and reach a certain location. To do that you can use the upgrade marker from GAZUI's SACU-Manager (it is implemented, no download needed). You first need to bind a hotkey to it using F1. When you have a SACU you can select upgrades in top right corner menu under the score panel and then place a marker next to the idle SACU and it will start upgrading. All SACUs that are unupgraded and idle near the marker will queue up the same upgrades..

Thanks for that explanation. I'll have to try it out.

I was under the impression that this was a fan site for Forged Alliance with a social interface you could download to find other players. Since I've been satisfied with the LAN games I play with friends, there was a lack of motivation to pursue it.
Now it is clear to me that your lobby client also has a bazaar of excellent mods and balance improvements!

It's like opening an easter egg and finding a rolex. BRB downloading easter egg.
