BrewLAN
Supreme Commander mod | TBD
BrewLAN is a unitpack and balancing mod for Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance with a variety of changes and additions at all tech levels for all factions, including Seraphim. The design goals for the mod are simple; to add new, interesting and visually aesthetic units which complement those already in existence and to maximise technical compatibility with other mods, even if said mods may be incompatible in concept.
The name BrewLAN is taken from Joshua Wilsons infamous LAN party of the same name, where the mod in its earliest incarnation saw its first multiplayer usage. The LAN itself taking its name from the fact that lots of tea was served there.
There are two different ways to download and play BrewLAN, either via the public betas or via the SVN oriented alphas, which contain the very latest, but possibly unfinished or experimental, changes and additions. For more information see the Google code page, if you have any issues, bugs or anything else that requires our attention please report them on the issues page.
Available in German
The current SVN version, and the version 0.3 beta download include full support for both English and German versions of Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance. The version 0.3 translation was a quick dodgy Google translation, 106.Bluebird has since corrected this which will be visible the next release and all future releases.
If you would like to see BrewLAN translated into your language, and don't mind getting your hands dirty with a bit of translation, drop me a line. There isn't actually that much work involved in it; its this one document which controls all the visible text in-game for the selected language.

Latest News: BrewLAN Development
0 comments by Balthassar on Nov 11th, 2009
The development schedule for BrewLAN, which is erratic at best, revolves around frequent small alpha releases every few days to a week. The driving force behind those releases being my desire to play SupCom with friends with the mod but not use old versions, so I can use my latest creations. There is a list I maintain on the Google code page. See the afore mentioned page for more information about the alphas and for download links. Only the intentionally public beta releases will get uploaded here, to ModDB.
Now on to the actual updates since the 0.2 beta release.
Updates
Additional Aeon units:
- Tech 3 Armoured Assault tank; 'Moldovite'.
- Tech 3 Heavy Air Transport; 'Cirrus'.
- Tech 1 Air Staging Facility; 'Pedestal'.
Additional Cybran units:
- Experimental Rapid-Fire Artillery; 'Scathis Mark II'.
- Tech 3 Torpedo Bomber; 'Zenith'.
Additional Seraphim units:
- Tech 1 Air Staging Beacon; 'Iathu-uhthe'.
Changes:
- Created a new tarmac for the Cybran Tech 2 Mass Storage and Tech 3 Strategic Missile Defence.
- Created custom strategic icons for the suicide weapon buildings (e.g. mines).
- Changed the menu sorting of experimental's so there is a divider between buildings and units.
- Removed large amounts of redundant data and fixed several compatibility issues.
- Added limited Sorian AI capabilities.
Forth coming
There is a full list of all BrewLAN units contained in the source files, the latest version being found in the latest alpha. The list includes all created, modified, in production and planned units related to the mod and even features a table of the experimental's planned for the mod.

keep this going! awesome mod in fact this convinced me to get FA at all and i made this account so that i can comment too! keep working on it until you get final release! (expect many updates before that but better that way)
Never think that anyone has stopped playing or wanting i can see SC in my LAN parties for many years to come.
I totally love this mod. Balthassar keep up the good work! I'm anxious for the next release! :D
I'm always up for a game of SupCoFA if anyone wants to play over Tunngle VPL (usern = Phyire) If anyone wants to play, just send an invite :). Balthassar, If you wana test any new tweaks/units I'm always available.
ps. I didnt know how to edit my previous post. :(
dead... thats a pity
Not dead.
I have serious problems getting this to work, I followed the instruction and 3.0b and global icon support 5.0 shows up in the mod manager but when I check brewLAN it says that I need GIS and don't have it installed. What could be wrong? I can check GIS and it works(as far as I can tell.) I've tried with 2.9 also, and I've tried with GIS 2.0, and it hasn't work. The brewLAN folder structure looks good to me(judging by the GIS instructions.)
thank you in advance
If you're still having problems, go into the mod file, open mod_info.lua and delete the requires and requiresnames lines and save. That will let you use any version of the icon support mod.
It doesn't matter at all which version of the support mod is used, I was tempted to release it without the direct requirement, but I wanted to avoid the inevitable "no icons" comments.
If you're playing with other people you may want to get them to delete the lines as well, but that shouldn't really matter.
different download mirror plz! filefront keeps sending me in a circle =/
There is a list of mirrors on Code.google.com
FileFront doesn't even have the latest released version, well, it doesn't to my knowledge anyway.
No, development is just a bit slow at the moment.
