Which file can i send with all my keymappings?

Hello, is there a single file in the PA folder which contains all the keymapping (especially the hotbuild mod). i want to send them to a friend.
thx

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Uber Entertainment\Planetary Annihilation\localstore\

that folder contains all settings of PA, copy it. It should work. Never tried it so far though.

Ofc you also need to install hotbuild(2?) in addition to that.

That should work

Only if you actually send it to friend. Contents of "localstore" contain some private sensitive information as well, so don't make it public.

Yes, sounds good. Thank you all!

It should be possible to write a script that you could run in the debugger to export and import stuff in the local storage. Or maybe there is an existing tool to open a web browser's local storage outside the browser (PA's UI is technically a web browser). Time to use google...

Or maybe using ajax to submit that data in a mod to some server.
But don't plan to set up a server but if anybody is willing to I will put a share button in hotbuild that sends your mapping trough ajax to somewhere.

You can see the local storage contents in the UI debugger's Resources tab under "Local Storage".

Run the following script in the debugger's console to export the keybindings:

Code:

(function () {
  var exported = {};
  for (var key in localStorage) {
    if (localStorage.hasOwnProperty(key) && key.indexOf('keybinding') === 0) {
      exported[key] = localStorage[key];
    }
  }
  console.log(JSON.stringify(exported, null, 2));
})();

Send the resulting JSON to the other user and tell him to run the following script in the debugger's console, of course with the dummy data replaced with the data from the export:

Code:

(function () {
  var imported = {'foo': 'bar'}; // replace with data from export
  for (var key in imported) {
    if (imported.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
      localStorage[key] = imported[key];
    }
  }
})();

Use at your own risk.

P.S. Would somebody like to write a plugin for importing and exporting settings inside PA's settings screens?

I think it could become handy as more and more mods will be storing stuff in settings.

What is the advantage over simply copying the localstorage files?

That way you don't need to replace all settings. For example systems you have created are also saved in local storage - which brings to my mind that an UI for copying individual systems would be nice as well. Currently you can copy systems by editing the local storage's systems entry directly in the debugger.

Ah I just realized you only copy "keybinding" things. Yeah makes sense in that case.
