This is supremely exciting, thank you for working on this. I also immediately thought of Iroh for networking (nit: though I do think you could include the port in the copy-pastable player id).

Using Lua files for AI does not seem like a great idea if you have control over the game source, though you can likely run run one lua thread per AI player.

I wonder how much your project is an attempt at a faithful reverse-engineered version vs an improved one, though given that you improved on networking, I would guess the latter? There are many features I would love to see added in, such as multi-monitor (multi-window & multi view) support. My concern is: as you diverge more and more by adding features, you risk making it harder to compare to the original for accuracy.

Anyway, as I failed to install FAF in my Flatpaked Steam install a few years ago [1], I would really appreciate a native Linux build for this (though I guess I could try the .exe under Steam/Proton).

I also played a bit of Supreme Commander on my Steam Deck, and while it was playable, I would appreciate better controller integration (at least Steam Input to simplify UI overlay creation).

All of that, and more, would be doable with a decompiled port.

[1] It would have been possible, I needed to shoehorn a java runtime in there, but it didn't sound fun anymore and only had a few hours to play with friends

In your experience have you noticed that multi hour games on the largest maps have a tendency to crash? Is this fixed in your project?

looks great. can it run gap without someone dropping at minute 4?

This is super exciting! Also would love to see the code when you share it

Dude.....I need this. SupCom is one of my favorite games of all time (especially the "World" custom map, so many games played on that one). Super excited

Is there a repo?

so cool! Loved sup com
