[REL] [CMM] Hotbuild2 v1.51 [113578]

Doesn't work any better. I do have T2 mex/pgen first in queue (why would anyone prioritize T1 with T2 fab ?)
Test reminder

While playing around I've seen this in the debugger:



Dunno when, how, why or what about it

Is anyone getting issues with latest build (71544) ?
Hotbuild key neither worked nor showed on build / side bar, so I checked both settings and they are ON
But I'm getting an empty Hotbuild :

Any confirmation /advice (appart from reset everything ) ?

Well I don't have any issues at all. How odd.

Bug: Changing any settings only has an effect after the main scene is reloaded

Tried re-installing the mod, didn't help.
Funny thing, if I try to reassign one key, all the purple colored key (Hotbuild) disappear (except the one I'm assigning).
If I hit cancel and go back to hotbuild, they are all colored again (but yeah, empty).

Where are the setting stored ?
Would it be helpful for you if I send you my corrupt / messed data set ?

Oh does main not reload anymore like it used to ? I'll try to fix all bugs during weekend.

Yep, it seems to show the settings in some sort of overlay scene instead. PA Stats happly continues to report data in the main scene

I've made myself a new set of hotkeys, mostly inspired by how FA hotbuild works:
Based on the german keyboard, but if you switch z and y, it should be qwerty compatible as well.
Basically for the key idea is to have all units layout just like on the keyboard, with the upper keyboard line as t1 and the middle keyboard line as t2

Also I have only 4 camera anchors, with f5-f8 used for selecting things instead.

Another "unusual" thing for PA is that the menu is on F10, esc is "cancel"

removed most of the other hotkeys

Also thanks for not attacking me to the AI for the last 90 minutes.

EDIT:
The AI only build this xD

Is it intended that SXX (No category) and Advanced Radar Satellite ("Recon" category) are considered as "Buildings" ?
The ARKYD (T1 Radar Satellite) is listed correctly as a unit, though.

That's what's in the json's.

Ok, so it's up to Uber to "fix" this, so your mod can properly read it from BIF, right ?

Yep, but that's not a big issue me thinks.

okay, so here is a weird one:

While playing some real 1v1 again (yey) I noticed I can't reliably select t2 mex with a group of t1 and t2 workers.

In a sandbox I can now reproduce why:


2 Workers. If I select them I always should be able to use hotbuild to toggle between t2 mex and t1 mex.

That works, if I make a box from the left to the right, so the t2 worker is selected first. If I make a box from the right to the left, only the t1 mex is available. The t2 mex shows up in the buildbar, but I cannot use the hotkey to select it.

It's not limited to mex, t2 pgens also have it. Probably all t2 buildings are only available if the t1 worker is selected first.

This guy hit it on the head. Exactly what's happening. I was wondering why I could only select commander buildings.....or just t1 buildings....

Great minds think alike

This bug should be fixed in new version.

Hotbuild2 1.29 released:
- multiple fabber selection bug fixed
- better community defaults (normal based on cola colin's defaults)

Unfortunately, it doesn't do the trick for me
Still depends on initial fabber selection

You haven't seen anything 1.30 released

Confirmed working, you are the man
