Update Build 1335 Live on Fasttrack

[Balthagor]

This update represents incremental improvements to the game engine and content while work continues on SR Global Outbreak. Leader events also needed updates since some of our previous guessing can now be replaced with actual election outcomes. Leaders in 2025 and 2026 still represent possibilities or random leaders, we hope to keep updating those as time moves on. 2030 leaders are pure fiction or fun "what if" moments.

Here is the full list of changes

• Engine changes for further MP sync stability, testing ongoing
• Major review of leader change events from 2023 to end of 2025. Some new leaders added.
• Update AIParams file from senior community members
• Fix to start button gridding after host transfers file even when other players are ready
• Fixed possible issues in WMData progression over multiple eras
• Modders can now adjust unit "rate of turn" to experiment with different rates of banking for units
• Modders can change the hotkeys to make WASD move the map
• Updates to 3D terrain option resetting when resetting options
• Further engine updates related to zombie mechanics and infection mechanics for SR Global Outbreak
• Changes have been made to the 1936 events with the goal of improving AI behaviour to global events. Work ongoing with this ticket.
• Caches updated for all eras.
• Minor updates to various game data files

Modders can change the hotkeys to make WASD move the map

How do we do that exactly?

What information I could get from the coding team has been added to the SupremeWiki;

Search the page for rotationmult

rotationmult is supposed to change how fast units turn (doesn't seem to work in the current version), but i asked about WSAD keys. There is no recent change or mention about it in the wiki.

Oops, sorry. I was tired and read all that too quickly.

Here are the values you need to put into the Hotkeys.csv file

W - 0x57 0 0 3631 1
A - 0x41 0 0 3630 1
S - 0x53 0 0 3631 0
D - 0x44 0 0 3630 0

Three of those are already assigned though

W - replaces weather, could set Ctrl+W for weather
A - replaces regional atlas, could take Shift+A for this by adding a new line
S - replaces supply model, could take Shift+S for supply, next line down
D - Not currently used, no conflict

[Uriens]

Great, thanks.

Seems that D is also used. When you select another region it opens diplomacy panel. I actually use that one quite often. Shift+D gives alternate HUD display (no flags i think) and Ctrl+D changes flag position.
I moved diplomacy to Shift+D, moved alternate hud display to Ctrl+D and flag position to Shift+Ctrl+D.

Seems to work fine. Diagonal movement with keys is a no go but that is also case with arrow keys.

If i can suggest another feature related to hotkeys.csv - ability to switch mouse button functionality. For example switching right and middle mouse buttons would be great as right mouse button allows to scroll map only to the point where cursor is on edge while middle mouse button has no such limit (can scroll freely regardless of mouse position on map). Middle mouse doesn't trigger action menu either so i end up using middle mouse button far more then right one. I'm sure other people could use some flexibility too, like some left handed people could prefer to switch left and right mouse buttons functionality.

Right now mouse buttons are as follow in hotkeys.csv:
0x01,0,,,,,,,,,,VK_LBUTTON,,,,,,,0,-1,0
0x02,0,,,,,,,,,,VK_RBUTTON,,,,,,,0,-1,0
0x03,0,,,,,,,,,,VK_CANCEL,,,,,,,0,-1,0
0x04,0,,,,,,,,,,VK_MBUTTON,,,,,,,0,-1,0
0x05,0,,,,,,,,,,VK_XBUTTON1,,,,,,,0,-1,0
0x06,0,,,,,,,,,,VK_XBUTTON2,,,,,,,0,-1,0

Can't do much with it at the moment.

[Balthagor]

That would be much more complex a change...
