What is this?
The Cyrus' Essentials (CE) mod is my attempt to include all the Essentials of enjoying the base AOTTG experience into one mod, as well as some popular options and personal picks that I think help give you more options and enjoyment. Details will be in an upcoming video, but the following list should give you a basic idea.
Features of the CE mod include:
----------------------------------------------
-NEW: Hero skins are in! Unlimited skin sets and an easy to share master string to transfer an entire set at once!
---UTILITY---
- Security beyond RC mod. Implements counters for many abusive techniques, and uses some common abusive techniques to increase the odds that an abusive modder you kick will actually be kicked. Autobans several common abusive mods including Vivid Assassin and Universe.
- Optimizations to greatly improve the game's performace.
- Networking optimizations to slightly improve performance in multiplayer. Very slightly.
- Bug fixes of quite a few vanilla bugs.
- Considerable audio and video options.
- A South American multiplayer region to improve ping for BR players.
- A revamped server browser.
- Username editing and saving so that you aren't just guest w/e.
- Server list selector so that you can play with your friends without risk.
- A news feed and version checker so that you don't even have to check this website or youtube to keep up to date.
- Perma bans saved onto your HDD.
- Titan Eren auto-kick.
- Server manager to adjust your server's hidden and open statuses, as well as the player count.
- Player list in the server manager to mute, kick, and ban individual players. Names are shown without colors in the server manager.
- UI and Effect togglers.
- GUI and chat color changing.
- Revamped ingame chat log. Hit enter to chat, scroll up and down to scroll through previous messages. Can now see what you're typing instead of guessing and praying.
- Option preset system to allow you to switch between different gameplay option sets quickly. Host a duel and switch the server to a chill forest survival with the press of a button.
- ASO KDR and RC's gamefeed options in the Misc Options menu.
---GAMEPLAY---
- Popular titan options such as size, number, type, armor and health.
- Toggle punk rocks and mohawks.
- Gradual titan spawning to improve performance when spawning titans.
- 3 Hero respawn systems that can change how a game of forest II feels.
-- Endless mode for your quick and constant respawns.
-- Respawn Wave mode, where after a set number of kills by everyone on the server, all dead players will be revived.
-- Respawn Queue mode, where after a set number of kills by everyone on the server, the first person to die will be revived.
- Body leaning toggle.
- Hero collision death that can be enforced server-wide.
- Simple map options such as endless city mode and forest wave configuration. Also a max titan count so that the later waves don't lag the hell outta you, incase you want the vanilla wave progression.
- Two rebinds for reel in and reel out and a gas burst rebind.
- The ever wonderful revamped reeling I can't play without.
- Fix for the slow mid-air turning.
- RC player spectator camera. (Photon camera) Just switch to WOW camera while spectating a player.
- Restored the crawler village.
- Fixes joining City 3 and OTW and not having checkpoints synced.
- Several map options to modify how a game of OTW will play out, including titan spawn rates and limit as well as point cap times.
This isn't really everything, there's a lot of little things I tweaked that I don't even remember. There's also a ton I already have planned, and that has already been suggested by my wonderful beta testers. This general rundown should give you the right idea though.

Download is on dropbox via the button above. Most recent version is 0.8d.
On mac? I don't have any immediate plans for a webplayer build, but run this through wine and you should be good to go.
