See my Super Hotkey Guide first to see if hotbuild2 is for you...

Awsome Video on hotbuild2 by trailq:


Features:

Hotbuild Keys : So the ability to press a key in rapid succession to cycle through buildactions
Extra Functions :
Toggle Pole Lock : on / off with a key

Might Implement again in the future

Hotbuild show Key on buildbar (see screenshots):

One of the things in hotbuild which make it usable over hotkeys is pressing u or U still toggles the build. To use this I would need no distinction between pressing shift or not. I guess I can edit your code but I'm not sure what this has over Colin's version (apart from way less messy code )

From the quick look I had at the code of hotbuild2 at least the old key configuration file was supposed to work like that.
However I dont have a PA handy here right now so I cant test. Maybe the new way of capturing input used here doesnt work out?

What does the shift build do? like build artillery being done by shift+v or v?

Yeah it's a problem with mouseTrap I have to work around.
It should work with something like this "['e','shift+e']"
But it doesn't work somehow.
Gotta do more research.

Shift build now is just a messy way to fix the difference between upper and lower case keys

From what I read on mousetraps page I thought simply binding e and E would i.e. do both e and E?

Yes it works now.
It's because I didn't directly do the bind itself.

I'll update in a jiffy

Updated first post :
so now everything should work upper or lower case

I'm about to add this to PAMM, but I notice you've named the zip v1.2, but it has v1.1 in the ini file - just confirming which it should be?

Edit: you also missed a space in your description ("buildactions")

1.2

Added to PAMM

Is it possible on the UI side to move my mouse to the closest mass spot, i.e. I push S for a mass extractor and it moves my mouse to the closest one?

Does a browser have an API to move the cursor? I doubt it.
Also as far as I know there is no way to tell where the next mex is right now.

Sounds like a fun idea though, but the upcoming area commands will probably make it unnecessary.

How about moving the view so the mass extractor is under the mouse cursor?

I dont know if it is possible to move the view, I think it may be.
You still need the position of the mex, we definitely cant get that right now, I think.

I've sometimes noticed metal extractors "snap" to metal spots? It's definitely not me moving the mouse

Yep they do, that is a standard feature of the game

Just an update , seems to be a problem with saving normal game settings when hotbuild2 is activated.
I'll check what's causing this and fix it as soon as possible.
Had to reinstall PA and lost all my settings so I am annoyed by it myself.

So why would mod move cursor to closest, if it kinda happens already.

Pretty sure the js UI layer is not what moves the mouse.
I dont have access to an installation of the game here to proof that claim though.
