No offense, but people need to stop "being sure" about things they do not know enough about .

Looking at the script, the mod modifies several files that would cause something like this to happen. I know for myself because I've tried to implement this mod in my own and I know why it breaks things, so I for one am 100% certian that this mod is, indeed, the cause of the problems .

P.S. I will not be fixing it because the explosions in the current FAF patch look better anyway, and I have a few improvements planned for them

Mex rebuild fix thread, since it'll probably have different feedback from a few players due to 2 different options, I've made a separate thread for the fix:

Hi,
I am a noob at FAF but I found a bug with the latest patch where my 2 megaliths wouldn't get up after i finished building them so they crawled everywhere. Just so you know in the game i am using cheats and a mod called Fiery Explosions 2.6 Beta. I have attached the replay and hopefully 2 steam screenshots of the megalith/ game

I dont know what caused this but if someone could look into it it would be good

Thanks
ArkonBGaming

I think I posted this into wrong forum in the first place

I came across a strange bug while messing around with AIs...

If you build a T3 pgen next to your Salvation, it fires faster. If you build two, or three, its even faster.
BUT, if you build four T3 pgens around it, it actually starts to fire slower then normal.

Also, surrounding it with T1 pgens do not give it +50% RoF anymore.

I found out that alone Seraphim TMD is unable to counter 1 TML if it launched just enought to hit TMD with AOE. Idk if it's right topic to post this, but i think it should be fixed.

After some tracking down, I believe that Reddev32 may have fixed the bug which allows Atlantis to pull units such as the Tempest inside itself. The fix at present (Being tested more) is to remove the "Repair" category from the unit blueprint, and also from that of the other Aircraft Carriers (Which also exhibit this bug).

Strictly speaking this is a workaround rather than a fix, as it means that these units will no longer be able to use their BuildPower to assist other units under construction. I think this was unintentional anyway, so it's not too great a loss!

not sure if the right place to post
but it would be great if uef tmd could shoot directly upwards - right now it seems to not be able to shoot down a tml launched right at it:
http://faforever.com/faf/vault/replay_vault/replay.php?id=1859827
(green player,me, gets tmled by orange com at ~9:20, when tml hits tmd which only fired at it once, when 4-5 seconds passed after the first shot)

yes, it was a commander tml, and the tmd should have died anyway, but it should have shot twice, and not once (unless i am blind/stupid)

seems that the tmd was pointing directly upwards,while the missile was coming at it from a very small angle so it couldn't align its barrel properly, not sure though

checked the unit db and it seems to be able to fire straight up, so i'm not sure why it didn't, and it should fire once every 2 seconds

oh well, not much to do about it, just a strange thing that i noticed :/

Hope it is right place to report a bug

after this change "Bombers targeting a wreck are no longer permanently prevented from firing (By Brute51)."

i decided to test again, and indeed issue with wreck was fixed...
However for every non-carpet bomber (actually i had time to only test all t1 bombers uef/cyb t3 and ahwassa)
if you try to attack forest, does not matter by ground fire or not, you get similar issue, but bomber also produces sound when it tryes to drop a bomb, that loosk silly, i hope it will not be hard to fix in next patch or someday, and also it actually drops bomb well on 1rst time but then fails

The symbol of preset SCU is an icon upgrade. For example, the Aeon combat SCU uses the AOE upgrade symbol. So it will be displayed as a unit, with this icon. Thus, you can easily distinguish your SCU (but so can your opponent). Some presets combine several upgrades, but they use only one icon, it's something to get used to.

SCU not doing their queued order after telporting is hard to fix. Just baby sit them after teleporting, that's not that hard.

I'm not trying to hide anything, I paraphrased. My entire point is that he said this horribly wrong and it came off flippant and non-carrying. As such, the best why to express that was to paraphrase the subtext.
Also, my intent wasn't to shame pip, it was to remind how things sound a lot different in your head then on text. As I said, he likely didn't mean to come of that way -but he did to me (at first). My only goal was to bring that up cause the leadership in this game tend to forget the view looking from the outside in.

Now you on the other hand are trying to make me look bad by putting words in my mouth. There is a huge difference between paraphrasing and misquoting.

You should know by know Gorton. I speak my mind and I don't lie or sugarcoat it.

On topic: My point was made. I don't really see the logic in 'SCU is suppose to have a weaker telly, so this is okay' (again, paraphrased gorts). I don't use the things enough to care (cybran XD) but still think it's worth fixing later on. I don't see a huge balance impact and it's an inconsistency.
I can also never agree that queing up orders the way you plan can ever be a balance issue. Queing is a trade for APM now for APM later that is set in stone -mostly. The ratio isn't even and the tradeoff is perfect. That said, this is another discussion for which this isn't time or place for.

Cheers!

I will even add that I find it better for gameplay that SCU cannot do that. It is quite clear that GPG intended SCU teleport to be weaker than ACU teleport (time to teleport was double in FA) and I assume they purposefully didn't make it possible for SCU to prepare orders before teleporting. Why? Because it would be too easy to make a diversion with for instance an air attack somewhere else, while your SCU carefully prepared to TML a nuke defense or a t3 pgen, build a shield and a firebase, etc. In the current situation, you have to do the diversion and micro your SCU at the same time, the same way the player on the recieving end has to deal with the diversion and the SCU. It's more fair this way. Being able to do it with ACU is ok, because it's far more risky, it's a big gamble.
