If that is your real name I am well jelous.

Woohoo!!!

Cannot wait until this is ready.

yeah this will be a VERY usefull mod

yay

Wild. There were hardly any changes to live_game.

no I was wrong.

Released to PAMM

ok now it's broken.

That's odd, I wonder what changed.

I've gotten some reproductions on large systems; unfortunately it's large enough I sometimes get stuck in generating planets. In those games, it simply doesn't work from the mod. It seems to be related to DOM focus, because if I can set a long timeout and click before it fires, then it works.

Mod is broken in current build (62857) it somehow prevents the system from confirming landing position. so even after you select "Start Annihilation" you will not spawn until timer runs out. Mod has been disabled until fixed.

Works for me. What other mods are you using at the same time? Might be conflict.

I'm guessing this doesn't work well in team armies?

it doesnt, it selects all commanders when shared army is on^^

That's the main reason I put the checkbox in. Perhaps someday I'll figure out how to check the number of players in an army and turn it off automatically.

Github has 2.0. I've rigged it with copy-pasted commanders in PTE, but it needs testing in real single and team environments. In theory it should be more reliable because I'm using a game event rather than a timeout to start things off.

and thanks, giving it a whirl

Failed in a team game, found an issue with different commander types. Github updated.

aaaaaaaaand giving it another whirl! (sorry I don't always find the time for team games)
