[Rel] Hotbuild [57164]

My version.
Altered to use default_keybinds system.
Also easier to read.
Removed some stuff.
Only 1 js.file
Can now type real keys instead of ascii codes.

Code:

//Pause / Unpause energy
function energyToggle(event)
{
      var currentOrder = model.selectedEnergyOrderIndex();
      if (currentOrder === 0) {
        eOrder = 'conserve';
      } else {
        eOrder = 'consume';
      }
      model.selectedEnergyOrderIndex(model.energyOrdersMap[eOrder]);
      closeFabMode();
      engine.call('set_order_state', 'energy', eOrder);
      event.preventDefault();
}

function polelockToggle(event)
{
            var allSettings = decode(localStorage.settings);
            var currentPoleLock = allSettings.camera_pole_lock.toLowerCase(); // the settings store this upper case, the engine processes it in lowercase... wtf
            var nextSetting = "";

I noticed you overrode reclaim, but do not have a new key for it - what do you use to reclaim ?

I think i, but I dont really reclaim much currently. It costs energy and most wrecks are destroyed before you even can reclaim them.

Updated my code with even less code

Code:

//HOTBUILD works in .57499

So i've been fiddling around with this a bit and can't see the problem mysel I defer to you guys maybe can help me out:

Problem occurs when using this mod with mexcounter. Either one of them individually works just fine problem doesn't exist.

When I start a game with this mod & mexcounter enabled through mod-manager I can create a game enter game but there is no zone for selecting at start (A, B, C etc.) And my name in upper left corner for players does NOT say "(Selecting)" nor does the AI.

Note: Probably completely UNRELATED problem but just incase somebody good detective and its relavant, my modmanager doesn't display bottom half of its screen. I'll upload image once uber-forums allows me to (limit on posts?)

Running Uber-Launcher with build 57703

Much appreciate the hard work you guys do!

It sounds like hotbuild and mex counter may be incompatible in some way that breaks the ui.
I've never used mex counter so far. Maybe I will look into it, but no guarantee on that.

I was fiddling around in the game files (to be exact I was adding catapults to a hotkey)

There are a lot of interesting looking units in the files which 'aren't' in the game... I'm not sure how new they are.. but there's no mention of units like the Crater Maker anywhere that I've seen?

@proeleert - nice I'll stick with Colins because I'm used to it now and I've found some of them a bit of a pain

Good idea, there are some bugs in my version, will package the fixed version nicely this weekend.

Indeed there are , can't wait to use them all

Im sorry I dont know what I meant when I said I've found bits a pain. Although if you can get catapults working that would be awesome!

My version see attached.
Compatible with mod manager.
It should have all functions of the original hotbuild mod.
In the hotbuild2.ini file you can choose which keys you prefer.
Change following line

Code:

live_game='../../mods/hotbuild2/live_game/hotbuild.css','../../mods/hotbuild2/live_game/hotbuild.js','../../mods/hotbuild2/live_game/keys.js'

to

Code:

live_game='../../mods/hotbuild2/live_game/hotbuild.css','../../mods/hotbuild2/live_game/hotbuild.js','../../mods/hotbuild2/live_game/originalkeys.js'

Or check out keys.js or originalkeys.js if you want to further modify your keys / actions.

On pressing a key you get a preview what the next building will be when you press the key again. See screenshots




TODO :
- Hide images / name after a fixed time ?
- Add a variable to toggle queuepreview thing on or off
- Give warning when there are keyconflicts
- Nicer queuepreview thingie/ placement / layout ?
- Find out if I can add strategic icon to queuepreview thingie
- Fix Bugs
- Any thing else ?
- Ideas ?

Offcourse this isn't compatible with hotbuild of cola_colin / so to use this switch hotbuild off.

cola_colin should I start a new thread for my changed version ?
Push it to github ?

If you give me your github account name I can add you to the pamods group, so you can push it to the repository yourself.
You can make your own thread, I will close this one and link yours.

EDIT:
Also good looking work. I guess I wont have to bother with a rewrite of hotbuild anymore. You can do it

I have enough on my todo list just with PA Stats anyway...

EDIT 2:
Something that the mods really needs is more keys, so any building/unit in the game is bound to a reasonable key.

It seems odd that, by default, the missile launcher and wall share a hotkey. Everything else that's key sharing shares a function.

I've never tried to do this "share a function" pattern, it just randomly happened.
Also I am surprised hotbuild1 still works. Haven't used it for a while. It's not supported anymore from my side.

Oh this is hotbuild1? ****, sorry, wrong topic

/lock, so nobody else ends up confused
