Two suggestions

[NodCommander]

Hello!

I had two suggestions, I am not sure if it has been discussed already or not but here it goes:

Change the strategic icon for the Mantis, just like it was done for The Brick and Percival. Why? Because early game it can be hard to tell what unit is what between Hunters and Mantis.

Secondly. The ACU management improvements that comes with the new version of the "Notify" mod really seems like general game polish. You know, like, being able to queue up upgrades or buildings after an upgrade. Why not add this, without the notification stuff?

There might have been one more thing I thought of, but I do not remember it at this point... I will get back on it if I remember it!

I agree. For instance when you have RAS and want to replace it with shield, in the unmodded version you get a message "do you really want to replace this upgrade", you say yes, then you lose your old upgrade but the new one doesn't start, you have to give the order again. That seems like a bug, and the Notify mod fixes it! Fixes like that belong in the general FAF distribution.

This is one of the mods i'd like to integrate too. It should happen eventually, just needs time.

for this you dont need any modding skill (only if you want make your own icon you need basic of doing grafic-GIMP is perfect for start)

I uploaded ASI file, just put it into:
C:/programy files(this is hiden folder, make it show in options) / FAForever(or something like that) / gamedata(right in this folder)
now run game and test it

// pretty much all icons are changed from vanila, icons I made in this file are for MEXEs,Engies,Power gens,SMD and maybe few more - the rest icons I didnt make

/// you can edit the filem, just extract by 7zip (you need this one), after extraction you can change and delete all icons you dont like(the game will use vanila ones) and then pack it again (use 7zip, choice zip format, change name to "Advanced strategic icons.nxt" and that should be it

//// dont know how is it with manta-LAB icon but you can try this and maybe change as you want
btw, GIMP and photoshop need some addon to open icon pictures, I can upload it for GIMP if you want, dont have it for photoshop though

Normal Ithilis logic: "You should come play my mod that changes the entire game just because it has a better icon for the mantis!" This is exactly what I and four or five other people asked you to stop doing a few months back. I would rather read 20 troll posts on the balance forum than these.

WHOA lets not get too crazy shall we?

Spoiler: show

but seriously you are getting pissy over a technicality?

well then lets begin our adventure:

so ithilis logic is a bit like this:
you like X
Y contains X
this is a reason to like Y

seems pretty simple to me.


what youre saying kinda like this - "yeah but it also contains Z which you didnt mention and thats a reason not to like Y!"

while that might be technically true, it doesnt stop the original ithilis logic from being fine. hes basically saying this is a reason to play his mod. and hes been posting these quite a few times now, so i guess that means there are many reasons to play his mod?

i also like how you attack his logic but not the actual mod, if you find something at fault in there then do tell, since i dont think ive heard any specific things yet

in any case i would rather read 0 salt posts on the balance forum than 20, have a nice day

honestly in a normal game you never see labs so its ok for mantis to have a lab icon. its only if you use labs for some absurd reason does this become an issue. since there is so much flame over labs im quite sure they will be never changed so this is kinda a non issue.

the other reason to change the icon is for consistency reasons - mantis have the same role as strikers, so why not the same icon as well?

as for the acu upgrade improvement, im all for it, it sort of makes sense to me that you should be able to queue upgrades anyway

hope this helps

Contains Z? Dude the mod changes the entire game. It contains the entire alphabet worth of changes. Therefore telling someone to go play it because of one very small thing is just ridiculous.
