Yeah, but the vast majority of stuff listed on looking for SupCom mods were rebalances and slight adjustments. I was late to the SC party as I only bought it last year, but compared to my first PC game WH40KoW, which was overflowing with new maps, skins, models, full race conversions, etc, it feels a little lacklustre. It mostly goes down to how easy stuff was to mod and how easy mods were to find. I did look extensively for SC mods and didn't find the ones you listed above, aside from BOps being in -Mike's signature
....gtfo. You didnt look in the right places obviously. The GPGnet forums (Whats left of them) and moddb are the best places to find such mods.
Stickies man, read the Stickies! xD But this is a bit of a concern since GPGNet was taken offline, the Vault, while clunky, was still useful. Mike
You drive me up the wall... I even forgot to mention SORIAN AI. I'm sure you've heard of THAT one? no? It probably had so little fame as a mod too few people knew about it and the modder was forgotten and nobody thought I'd be a good idea to contact him to help on even the smallest of games. Just : 1: place your SC key on steam let steam download and install Forged Alliance, only Forged Alliance (you get both if you insert either a SC key or a FA key from either a single CD or the golden edition pack) 2: http://users.edpnet.be/zepilot/FAForeve ... 0.8.53.msi download and run. Login with your GPG account or create a new one. 3: go to the find games tab and double-click on "Forged alliance Forever" in "host custom game" to host a game including: better graphics mod (in high textures), firery explosions, autogive, Hotstats and Sorian Ai (and of course a fully reworked game lobby) these are mandatory defaults for ranked games. you don't have to do anything, a patched version of the .EXE is run containing those mods. 4: on unranked you have a bunch of other mods, most of which I talked about earlyer. just double click to host one. Black ops is a fully balanced unit addon. Nomads is the one that adds a fully balanced Fith race. When I say race I do mean each and every one of them has ~106 different units. there's also Engie redesign which I forgot to mention but that one IS a question of changing the playstyle a bit more towards PA's playstyle. Do give it a try, FAF's modding and mapping has no better word to define it than overflowing ..... unLESS! overflowingest? I did play WH 40k Dow2 don't know what the first was like, I liked it. now if you type these words into google by adding "gpg" to the end the right mod will be first result : Total Veterancy ; Black OPS ; Orbital wars ; Experimental wars ; Gaz_UI and Hotbuild These ones : Total Mayhem ; nomads ; Enhanced campaign AI ; Firery Explosions and 4th Dimention ; with moddb at the end. Phantom X and Phantom N with forged alliance this one like this : Galactic War indiegogo Wave of death and zone control are maps that contain their own mod information. You may only get them on faf. Civilian Defense ; King of The Hill ; Murder Party ; and Claustraphobia are mods you can only get on faf. all out easyest way to have all the mods is just to download the lobby just like Spring. here is also my selection of three UI mods (the list grows smaller as one by one they are engulfed by faf, become ranked default and you no longer need to download them) these are: Hotbuild : really really popular, for all people coming from starcraft II, it is a must. Gaz_UI, next in the list to become stock. And sequentially upgrading mass extractors v.2, name says it all. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22720750/mods.zip here are vids demonstrating a few: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XA7mBDGvnI 4th Dimetion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHHwwP6jBMg Experimental War http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPfc1-i5TFs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVTbHAjalHQ Phantom http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb7_mHxtDqQ Orbital War http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XskpQ51YiyU Black ops http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCIMiX9AABQ hotbuild http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF29Cz5fHpw claustraphobia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIVL169H4JU zone control http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7va3dSbu4jo another of the bagilion map mods (do check out aperture's portal map) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO76_EDVECE Nomads http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6r98YZMNV3Q Galactic war (nothing was leaked you must be part of the alpha and beta to see)
Lol yeah, Nomads was released only for FA, and I'm pretty sure all of the major mods that are (still?) going on are for FA. FA really is so much better... But IMHO, TA was better than both.
When GPG shut down GPGnet, it was a harsh blow, as a gesture they promoted all existing SC or FA keys, be they CD or steam to a steam Gold edition pack. this way people could continue playing online but also be somewhat compensated for the harsh blow. normally you should have gotten promoted, try retyping your key. If ever you can just wait for another THQ steam sale, during those it goes down to 2,49€ rcix, mushroomars, I don't get you two, ya sure rcix you play SC2 but mushroomars you have a Nomads avatar wth? if you were online you'd know the community count is booming RIGHT NOW we're now hitting 700 dayly. Galactic War is sson to be released.
I've kinda abandoned FAForever. I was a major developer for the "new" Nomads team, and there IS A BETA RELEASE OF THE NOMADS RIGHT NOW ON FAFOREVER, but I eventually got around to playing Total Annihilation. And in all honesty, I'm kinda pissed. I'm angry that Supreme Commander wasn't a direct sequel to TA, because IMHO, Supreme Commander was worse than Total Annihilation. By a large margin. SupCom was never my game, TA was right on the money.
