Problems with hotbuild

Postby Laserpoint » 24 May 2014, 15:41

Hi Guys,

I had changed the hotbuild keymapping. Now I want to set it back to Zulans settings. When I go on reset, it asks me if I want to reset to Zulans settings. I said yes, then it asked me about my keyboard layout. Since i am German, I chose Germen. But here is the problem: when I chose German, the game froze. After restart, I dont have Zulans keymappig. Is there a way to fix this?

I hope my post is understandable. Thank you for your help.

1) do not use GAZ_UI and hotbuild mods
2) GAZ_UI and Hotbuild are implemented to faf, if you have mods in your folders they will break stuff, so unfortunately you will have to remove mod files from mod folders
3) Zulans keybindings (preset) were buggy and there are no Zulan's preset in faf version of hotbuild
4) all you need to do is just press F1 in game and set up keybindings, there should no be any presets, if there are some i wonder if that is a bug or something...
Yes you need to manually bind all keys, there are now better explanation for them

Hotbuild is now integrated into faf. If you still have it installed you should uninstall it.

You will need to set the keybinds manually, however this only takes 1-2 minutes because the main keys are all in order.

You can basically just go down the list w,e,r,t etc. Then you will have to find the section with reclaim/patrol etc and do them seperately

Thank you for the quick answers. I deleated the mod files and did set up the keybindings. Works fine now. I just couldnt find loop or infinite build in the options. So I couldnt bind "Y".

For some reason I can't find "Loop" when I go F1. I looked throu the whole menu 5 times and still couldn't find it. Also looked for "infinite build" and couldn't find it eather. So what am I doing wrong? Do I have to Look for a diffrent expression? Or did I just oversee it? This really freaks me out right now, because I don't want to move my mouse down to the bottom of the screen anymore for everytime I build a new factory.

I see. Tryed that and it didn't work, but I think now that it is only because of my German keyboard layout. I will try to put it on Z asap (Z and Y are switched on German keyboards). Thank you partytime : )

Forget about my last post. It still doesnt work. I tryed it several time with several keys now. When I assign a key to "toggle factory repeat build" it just doesnt work. Any suggestions what could be wrong and how to solve it?

a) remove all mods then test
b) you know what to expect right, all it means is that repeat build (looks like a looping arrow) icon lights up and once a unit is built, goes to end of queue again
