EcoManager [v7 for 3641]

[Furud]

I have a hotkey issue that I'm hoping someone can help with. This only happens when I have Eco Manager enabled.

When I press Ctrl+T (which I have bound to selecting transport) it gives simultaneous orders to land factories to build scouts and air factories to build interceptors. It also doesn't select the transports.

I use speed2's hotkeys, so tanks and bombers are bound to T key, so that makes no sense.

If I open the F1 menu and then close it, it fixes the problem until the next game.

Have tried disabling all other mods, which doesn't help. Also had same issue with EM v7.0.

Using:
Common Mod Tools v1.0
EcoManager v8.0

I installed FA and FAF on a different computer with just 2 mods: Common Mod Tools v1.0 and EcoManager v11.0

The same issue of Ctrl + T sending land scout and interceptor orders to factories still occurred.

Does this happen to anyone else?

adding V11 of the EcoManager to this post since the mod search is currently not working

also adding common mod tools since it is required to run the EM

Added "Only massfabs" option so you don't need to type "/t 0" command every game if you use eco manager only for massfabs.

Added "Toggle throttle" hotkey (switching between "massfabs" and "auto" mode). Could be useful if you running "massfabs" mode and need to stop stalling energy at some critical moment (shields blinking, nuke/smd loading etc.)

i really like the additional option for massfab only
but i kinda dislike having more options in the option menu

i suggest something like this instead:
options.lua

Code: Select all

table.insert(options.gameplay.items,
    {
        title = "EM: Throttle energy",
        key = 'em_throttle',
        type = 'toggle',
        default = 0,
        custom = {
            states = {
                {text = "<LOC _Off>", key = 0 },
                {text = "<LOC _On>", key = 1 },
            {text = "Mass fabs only", key = 2 },
            },
        },
    })

throttle.lua

Code: Select all

local Prefs = import('/lua/user/prefs.lua')
local options = Prefs.GetFromCurrentProfile('options')
  if options['em_throttle'] == 2 then -- Enable only massfabs option
  throttle_min_storage = 0
  else
  throttle_min_storage = 'auto'
  end

Nice idea. Added your code.

Here is updated version without unnecessary option and with throttle hotkey.

And without syntax errors thanks to Philip. (English has never been my strong suit =)

Spoiler: show

note: There is a problem with switching between modes via options menu. For example: you have throttle "on" -> click "Mass fabs only" -> click "Apply" and nothing will change until you restart the game (or restart throttler using chat commands /t off/on). In old version with 2 options if you want change mode via options your algoritm should be: click massfab on/off -> apply -> click throttle off -> apply -> throttle on -> apply (simply put, you changed throttle parameter first and then restarted it). And you can't do it this way if there is only 1 option.

But all of this doesn't matter as I added "toggle throttle" hotkey

Bennis mentioned a bug when EcoManager randomly unpauses rebuilded mexes. I fixed it a few month ago but forgot/was too lazy to upload it

These files fix pause bug:

\Mods\EM\modules\pause.lua
\Mods\EM\modules\mexes.lua

and this fixes no overaly/no auto-upgrade issue for rebuilded mexes (!this one is for "Common Mod Tools" mod, don't put it in EM\modules):

\Mods\common\units.lua

Hi all,

Apologies if I missed this, but I've read so many threads on this, I'm now confused. I'm running v11 (you guys who write these things are awesome BTW) and I'm getting the bug described in last year's post:

Does this also fix the upgrade on-click and assist to build mass storages bug?

I am only using upgrade on-click and when I select an engy and right click a T2 mex, it upgrade pauses to T3, I get the build queue for the mass storage, and then the engy starts assisting the upgrade of the mex.

Am I missing some option to prevent this?

As far as I know, EcoManager is still incompatible with assist storage build by default. There is a workaround that triggers assist upgrade only if x storages are built already. In cases of adjacent factories, bad terrain or lost commands, you have to remember though. I tried x=2, problems came up very rarely.
I lost the code since my last reinstall but I'm pretty sure I posted it in this thread.

what does it triggers at 4 storages; The "start and pause" of the mexx upgrade or the assist on the already started but paused upgrade ?
