Unable To Use Hotbuild Mod.

Postby TheStrategist » 30 Jan 2016, 05:34

I used to be able to play with Zulan's Hotbuild before I took a break from supcom, now after trying to get it set up again. It's being a huge pain, please help.

I have been troubleshooting with a fresh FA installation, Fresh FAF installation and a fresh Mods folder, here's the steps I take:
-I am able to see GAZ_UIv6 in the mod vault so I download it
-I am not able to see hotbuild in the mod vault so I downloaded it from this thread (tried both versions) and followed the instructions on how to install it (didn't unzip). viewtopic.php?f=41&t=2575&hilit=hotbuild+integrate
-I activate both mods using 'Manage UI Mods' These are the only two mods I have activated I checked through the FA interface to verify.
-I click 'FAF' on the lobby screen and create a lobby
-The lobby says 'Some of your mods have been known to cause issues with FAF, so have been disabled.'
-If I start the game and press F1 I can see the Zulan bindable keys but resetting to defaults does not give the 'set hotbuild defaults?' prompt.

The weird thing is, this does not happen with just Gaz_ui but happens with both gaz and hotbuild enabled. even after deleting hotbuild.zip, the lobby still throws the error message. the lobby does not show an error if I disable both.

If I use Gaz_UI v9 only I am able to see the reset hotkeys steps and it asks me if I have a german keyboard or not, but neither of the options do anything if clicked.
If I use Gaz_ui v9 and either version on hotbuild I get the lobby error.
Logs are below, any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Both gaz ui and hotbuilding is integrated in FAF, do NOT use those mods anymore, delete them. Just set up hotkeys following this guide http://wiki.faforever.com/index.php?title=Game_Modifications_%28Mods%29#Hotbuild Extra options of GAZ UI can be found in Options - Interface.

Thanks for the reply, I did notice that the mods were included in FAF, but none of the keys are bound by default. There used to be a feature of the mod where you would reset to the Zulan default and all bindings would be set according to the layout reference. Can anyone upload any game.prefs file for an EN keyboard to help me out with this?

There are some different possibilities to select units via a hotkey. I want to use the "select all air/land/naval units on screen" binding but then the factories get selected too.
If i use "select all air/land/naval units" then only the units will be selected (as expected).

Is this a bug or intended?
