[REL][Server Mod] Statera Balance Mod

Well, but if a car twice the size of another is going at the same speed to the finish line, the large car would win?

Though I suppose it might not be noticeable enough.

PA doesn't care how big something is. It just cares what number that unit has for max speed.

Then they would look too fast

May someone explain to me how to install these kinds of balance mods, how they work, what is required to play them, and will they affect my game when I'm not using them because I am (frankly to lazy to read everything [sorry]) terribly confused.

You'll need to get the Planetary Annihilation Mod Manager, I'll go fetch it for you, one moment.

Then you'll just go to server mods, select install on Statera, then go to your mods and enable it. Afterwards go to the client mod section and install the Statera icons mod (Icons don't show up with server mods alone). Then enable that one. After that, launch PA and it'll be uploaded to the server and you can play on it! If you ever want to disable it, just go back to PAMM and disable it.

1. Get this: https://forums.uberent.com/threads/rel-pa-mod-manager-cross-platform.59992/ Go to available mods, then server mods tab, then find and click on Statera. You'll also want the Statera Icons mod, in the client mods tab.
2. They are uploaded to a server when you host an online game and are automatically used when you host an offline one. Anyone without the mod can join and play without consequences.
3. The server mod will do nothing if you aren't hosting a game. The client side icons mod will change a few icons if you forget to turn it off before playing the vanilla game, but that's no big problem.

Okay, here's the mod manager link: https://forums.uberent.com/threads/rel-pa-mod-manager-cross-platform.59992/

A newly installed/updated mod is enabled by default.

Oh yeah, forgot about that.

Also Stuart I had to mention this to you, you must make the client side icon mod a dependancy of the server mod, at the moment it isn't..

Also an icon would be good for the mod I'd imagine, how about an edited version of this, only just the S?

Thanks a lot guys!

Still no logo in PAMM, booooo

No logo causes people to subconsciously see it as incomplete, I'm sure. :<

Any1 even play this or any other mod? Never see it being played...

Mods weren't shown by default on the server list in the past; now they are. We'll hopefully be seeing a lot more modded games, I believe we already do.

well im sick of base game so hoping mods can save this game...but they cant unless people are actually dling & hosting it which ATM are not.

Pivo, your arguments are akin to saying that "I can't play the game because there aren't any lobbies up".

Want Statera games to be made? Host them yourself!

What good is that if the people currently online do not have the mods..just sitting there with empty game...

Anyone can see and join the game. You don't need mods to play. I hosted 5 or so 10 player modded FFAs yesterday which all got filled reasonably quickly.
