krt0143 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I wanted to try batch training: Had lots of resources, plenty of population space, but when I shift-click (shows "5") on a unit type, nothing happens? Shouldn't there be a production queue appearing? Or a message, or something? I've tried it with several different units, on several different buildings, in several different games. Custom and stock units, standard and champion type ones. Whatever I do, shift-clicking on a unit button doesn't seem to do anything. What am I doing wrong?

I can train various sizes (per mouse wheel) of batches of various units. I shift-click and then the production queue appears. Maybe you have kaputt-gespielt your installation? Other than re-installing the game I wouldn't know what to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have copied + edited some template files, but even units I haven't touched don't batch-train. I haven't modified any code parts, I know my limits. Thanks for the screenshot BTW, it helps to know what it should have looked like... So, shift-click is indeed how it should work? Hmmm. I really wonder what happened.

real_tabasco_sauce Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 so you can train just 1 unit but not a batch? Ive never seen this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreakfastBurrito_007 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Maybe somehow a hotkey got changed that deals with batches? I guess you could try restoring default hotkeys unless you haven't changed any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unit by unit works fine, but shift-clicking does nothing. When I press Shift it does display "5" over all units, but if I click on the little icons, nothing happens.

I don't think it's a hotkey issue because as I said above, the unit icons do show a "5" when I press Shift, so at least this part of the Batch process seems to work as expected. If the Batch hotkey was changed to something else it wouldn't show that "5", would it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krt0143 Posted September 30, 2023 Author Share Posted September 30, 2023 Fixed it. By removing "Shift" as a hotkey for selecting/deselecting units. Apparently (although I really don't know why!) having "Shift" also as hotkey for unit selections interfered with the batch production, which now works as expected. Despite "Shift" still being used as hotkey for a bunch of other things. Go figure. Von wegen kaputtgespielt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for you! btw: when I suggested earlier to re-install the game I hadn't thought it through, as I believe your settings persist in the .cfg files which don't get deleted when you un-/re-install. In case you should again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are things which shouldn't break anything, like this one (there are already a dozen other functions using "Shift"), but well, bad stuff happens. 8 hours ago, Gurken Khan said: re-install the game Nah, whatever stupid thing I might do, it's very unlikely to damage the binaries themselves. If I damage something, it would be some configuration file, and always I back those up (elementary modder precaution). That been said, 0 A.D. isn't as straightforward as it might seem, I didn't find where it stores hotkey modifications. It's definitely not in \config\default.cfg, the key bindings shown there aren't the ones I have in the game. Go figure.
