BrewLAN is a mod for Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance that has been in on and off development by a team of one for almost a decade. It adds a wide variety of new units for all factions, as well as offering several new game modes and features. The core 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.

In order for me to easily and quickly diagnose the cause bugs you find, and then do something about them, there are a number of key pieces of information I need:

  1. The specifics of the bug, and how I can recreate it.
  2. The specifics of the technical environment the bug occurs in. This includes:
    • Which version of my mod(s) you are running; version number for public releases or revision/commit number for dev builds.
    • Which version of the game you are running; Steam/FAF/Retail/Other ect.
    • What other mods you are running, and their version numbers. Ideally reduced down to just the mods that are causing issues.
      • In the case of more obscure mods, a link to where I can access the mod for testing.
  3. Logs. Any WARNINGs that appear on the log around the time when the bug happens, then those warnings probably directly point to the issue.

Giving me as much of that information as possible will help me greatly; in general, it's best to assume that any given bug doesn't happen for me, and that I need to find out what the important differences are between our situations, so that I can make things work across both of those situations.

Tips for getting better information:

To view the log you will first need to run the game in windowed mode. To enable the log you can either set the launch option /showlog or in a cheats-enabled match press F9. Having cheats enabled in general is very good for debugging since it also allows access to the ALT-F2 spawn menu, meaning you can spawn and test units directly, and narrow down the causes that way.

  1. When building or even assissting any unit with the UEF T3 Engineering Mass Extractor the pumping animations stops. It won't restart after toggling production or any other actions.
  2. I'm using the Steam version of SCFA, BrewLAN 0.7.5.5 and disabled all other mods to be sure it is a bug from BrewLAN.
  3. The log is spammed with this warning:
    WARNING: SND: XACT3DApply failed.
    Invalid arg
    It even appears before I can get any buildings. If there are any other warnings, I'm not able to find them.

1:When Brew Lan is run with Unit Capx4 from the FAF client, the map fails to properly load, loading only one resource node, and no ACUs or anything of that sort.

2:Latest Dev Version of Brew Lan, Steam FA, and the FAF client, with the Unit Capx4 mod.

3:None that i am aware of. The game does not crash or seem to have any major issues outside of this

a rather nasty bug I'm encountering with the Panopticon experimental, whenever I build one and after some times passes and I'm assuming some unit cap is hit the game freezes like I paused the game. I am running the Steam version of FA and 1000 unit cap in a standard skirmish. The only way to get out of the game is to close the .exe in taskmngr

disregard previous post, don't know whats causing it
