[Rel] Hotbuild [57164]

updated again, my last update broke the default mapping of y to stop

Hey.

I want to change the key to make buildings pause/unpause production. I don't particularly want the rest of the keybinds from your mod. How do I go about changing that keybind?

I may be really stupid, but I can't see it in the game settings.

**Edit**

I've also downloaded your mod. But how on earth do I rebind stuff? The energy conserve stuff seems to be commented out, but it definitely works, so I'm confused!

**Edit2**

Sorted. I just commented everything out that didn't refer to Tab

I am surprised somebody installs the mod just for that single feature.
But yeah that is the right way to do it.

Lol I know right?

It seems like a pretty essential feature -- it's also one of the commands on the UI that doesn't have a hotkey.

ColaColin, could you implement a hotkey that switches pole lock on and off? Or is this not possible atm with the game?

Attached a version that should do what you want. Only did a pretty rough test.
After you confirmed it working I'll make it the official version.

Default mapping is ^ to toggle pole lock. It stores the selected option as well.

AWESOME seems to work. Will improve polar gameplay for me1^^

Hey could you edd the first post to say if you have the mod manager installed all you need to do is put the file in the right place? It would make it a lot less confusing.

added a note about it

Added a new function I call requeue:

Whenever you queue up units the mod will remember it. When you press o it will repeat everything you queued so far 50 times. To reset the "remembered" queue that is repeated give a stop command.

So i.e. you can do this:

1. Select factory, press stop to make sure you dont have rubbish in memory
2. Queue up 2 workers, 1 ant, 1 scout (example)
3. Press o, you will now have 50 times 2 workers, 1 ant 1 scout more in the queue
4. Select other factory press o to give it the same commands, do this with as many factories as you want

loool

Hm... I may have to learn how to javascript.

Is there anyway to change the way commands work?

Essentially so that I can bind combinations like Ctrl+(something) to commands?

I tried it but I broke your code so it never worked at all.
Edit 2: Jokes. I just totally broke it. Time to revert to vanilla.

I was basically trying to make the map compatible with w, a, s, d camera controls.

Currently the system does not easily support modifiers like that. You would need to modify the map.js format and the handling in the keymapper js file to achieve that.

XD I'll grin and bear it Thanks so much for you mod man! I can actually edit the shift+click on build queues now. It's kind of meaningless to add 20 to the queue at once when I can just hit o and add 50.

I'm not at home to test it but does 'tab' actually pause your factory constructions, and then re-enable construction from the same point? Or does it stop the factories and then re-queue them up? Either way that seems neat and useful.

Tab works exactly like in FA: pauses/unpauses the queue is untouched

Is it just for selected factory or global? Is it possible to do a global pause?

Selected factory.
Global pause is most likely impossible. ... unless ... well maybe it could be hacked that whenever you select a unit it is automatically added to a unit group and a press on "global pause" selects that group, pauses and goes back to your previous selection by using another unit group. ... is an idea for a hack that _might_ be possible.

you can select all factories and press tab. isnt there a standard hotkey for selecting all facs?

I think there is, yes
