Suggested hotkey setups

[Sparrow]

Anyone have any nice hotkey setups? Vanilla feels...odd. I don't know what it is. But I feel very slow playing it. Also wish the ui wasn't all laggy. Probably just my system though.

I use Hotbuild2 from PA Mod Manager

I'm trying to figure out how that mod works right now. It's not turning out too well. haha!

I loaded up a community default for WASD....in a match, e was assigned to a basic fabber and also a dox. If I had a bot factory and a vehicle factory selected at the same time, I had to use ctrl + e to build the fabber as opposed to just e which would have built a dox.

However, when I went into the hotbuild tab in settings, it said the dox was assigned to r. I also couldn't find a way to customize when you should use ctrl + key to get to a second unit if two units are assigned to the same key (such as in the aforementioned example).

I also don't know what I should do about the uber default keys...?

Also...what if I want to turn hotbuild off? Do I have to restart the game. Choose "restore defaults" in the hotbuild tab does nothing in terms of removing the hotbuild binds.

Figured out I like using buttons for camera instead of middle mouse.

For now though, my hotkeys are officially a mess and nothing's behaving like I thought it would. X is now assigned to a radar while simultaneously still selecting the vehicle build group. Radar gets priority though. I donno...gonna revisit this tomorrow after I get some sleeparino and figure it out.

If you get really stuck, let me know. I can hit the Hotbuild2 author with a stick a bunch of times and make him come help.

Love you too man :p

It sounds the default keybinds are still active best to unmap them in keyboard tab if you use full hotbuild bindings.

Unbind ALL of them? Or just the ones that have to do with building and unit movement (i.e. - not camera anchor/control group assign/recall and things like that).

PS - Hope he didn't use too big of a stick.. :(

Yeah all of the building and unit build keys :)
