Federal Unit Manager v1.9104r + Hooker Bugs

Hello troopers!

Major news today! Federal Unit Manager got a Hotfix fixing the >2.0.0 incompatibility crisis!

That's not all; today is the day the official Scenario Editor is released into the Open BETA. If you haven't obtained it, go obtain it.

That's ALSO not all. Today marks the day Hooker Bugs are globally released! Prepare yourselves... This new bug is sure to spice up the battlefield!

Hooker Bugs are here!

Move Aside, Control Bugs! We'll change war forever!

What are Hooker Bugs?

Our new Bug Type, Hooker Bugs are deployed and deeproots itself to Terran Command's process!
This allows Hooker Bug to recode and modify the behavior of the entire game. This major step forward has opened a plethora of doors for me to develop with and "SOME" of those doors have been opened to the rest of the world today.

What are the possibilities?

Using Hooker Bug, understanding the behavior of Starship Troopers have become even easier for even more tool development regarding the game's modifications and hacking. Here's just a taste of examples of what I've been looking into.

• Activating Dev Mode

• Controlling Other Teams and Factions

• Online and Local Multiplayer

• Camera Rotations

• Enhanced Console Commands

• On-The-Fly level editing

Some of those features are currently being developed, others need major testing and yet this is only a slither of the possibilities Hooker Bug makes possible.

How is it Used?

Using Hooker Bug is extremely easy! Just open FUM, click the Hooker Bug Icon and you're now into the Hooker Bug settings. Press "Deploy Bug" and that's it! You can even close FUM and it'll still work perfectly fine.
Hooker Bug has no interface so it truly works in the background, attached to Terran Command. Once you're in the game new hotkeys will have been created in Terran Command which you can customize in FUM. That's it! Just press "Kill Bug" in FUM to detach any Hooker Bugs from Terran Command.

Will This Break Terran Command?

Hooker Bug makes no permanent changes to Terran Command. If you do not want it's features in your game, just press Kill Bug and there will be no trace Hooker bug ever even existed!

Current Features

Currently, Hooker Bug has been stripped of a few of it's features due to incompletion and stability. Only the most stable features have been put into it's current 1.0 release. Here's a list of them:

• Enable Dev Mode
     Dev Mode has a bunch of cool features. Full list at the bottom of post.

• Enable God Mode
     God Mode allows teleportation and invisibility.

• Rotate Camera
     The most difficulty function to make work properly. This allows you to rotate the camera in 360 degrees!

• Tactical Pause
     Pause all action, take a breather, and give commands which will all be fulfilled when you unpause.

Many of these features are true quality of life features, especially since they can be toggled with a hotkey at any point. I'm hoping to design new features that are most wanted in the future as well.
Even though the list of features aren't as big as they could be, I hope this changes how you play Terran Command from now on!

The Future

More features will be made each new update to Hooker Bug just like FUM.
Hooker Bug is a separate install and updated separately from Federal Unit Manager.. When new Hooker Bug updates come out, you won't need to update FUM and vice-versa.
Whenever Terran Command is updated to a new version, even a minor update, that new update can and most likely will break some, if not all, of Hooker Bug's features. To avoid being impacted by this, Hooker Bug will also have a separate Auto-Updater in FUM and I'll work as quickly as possible to fix issues regarding Hooker Bug's compatibility between each update.
Hooker Bug is now a staple to FUM. I hope you consider it a staple to your gameplay.

Usage

A detailed tutorial for Hooker Bug and it's features will come out in due time when I have a proper, more stable bug. That's where you guys come in! Please help me by using it and reporting any problems you have! I'm only one person and I can't catch kinks from all angles. So for now here's a short rundown:

• FUM:

Using Modifier Buttons:

Modifier Buttons (Alt, Shift, etc.) are highly recommended when dealing with Hooker Bug. In the future hopefully I can program a more convenient way but currently, Hooker Bug replaces your in-game hotkey with Hooker Bug's functions. This has no effect outside of Terran Command, of course, but if you map a hotkey to a letter, that letter will no longer work only in-game. This is important if you use the console a lot as hotkey letters will not type. To fix this, simply use a modifier. Modifiers are used by holding the modifier button and then pressing your hotkey. For example: Ctrl + P is P with a modifier of Ctrl. When using Function keys (F1, F2, etc.) then modifiers aren't needed as they have no lettering.

• Hooker Bug

Using Dev Mode:

Dev Mode has many functions so here's a rundown:

Zooming maximized.
Can control all units regardless of factions.
Can deploy units from enemy or neutral stations.
Infinite Supply/Support.
No Ability cooldown.

Hotkeys:
DEL - Kill selected unit.
END - Reinforce selected unit.

Using God Mode:

God Mode has these properties:

Instantly acquires any station.
Instantly destroys Hives.
Invincibility.
Teleportation.
Squad Killing. (Kills an entire bug squad if even one bug in the squad was killed)
Maximized Damage

Press ALT + CTRL + HOME to check the status of Hooker Bug. Nothing will happen if Hooker Bug is not deployed.

If you have any issues with the camera, press 0 on the digital number pad to reset it the camera. You may also press "Kill Bug" in FUM and deploy it again to fix underlying oddities. When deploying Hooker Bug, You don't need to restart Terran Command.

The War Never Ends

I hope you enjoyed reading all about the new Hooker Bugs and I hope you are as excited as I am for the future of Federal Unit Manager as well as Hooker Bug and even Terran Command! I appreciate all of my supporters. This work takes a lot of time, energy, effort and even skill and thus the support, whether big or small, I get from all of you guys have not only made this possible but also kept me with something to look forward to! Thank you and never stop killing bugs!

Download

Finally, the best part. Hooker Bug v1.0r is available right now! This goes with FUM v1.9104r. Without that FUM version, you won't have the update to deploy Hooker Bug so make sure you get it down below.
