I know alot of you have missed out on some things, because you were not aware of certain hot key functions. I wrote up all I could think of and I know I have missed a few. So please add them if you see something missing. Smile

Well I was hoping to see more input here. I guess everything has been covered. I will "pretty this up" and seperate the old from the new as soon as I can. And post it all again.

In the mean time I am hoping if someone dosen't see a hot key on here to please post it.

Everything I know about is here. However, it might be useful to point out the various click-related functions in Tactical mode (all are part of the default JA2 engine):

Tactical - Real-Time Mode:
Click (on portrait): Select Mercenary / Move Screen to Mercenary (if already selected)
Alt+Click (on portrait): Centre Screen on Mercenary (if not visible) / Show Mercenary's Location (if visible)
Click: Select Mercenary
Alt+Click: Deselect Mercenary (if selected) / Add Mercenary to Selection (if not selected)
Right-Click: Cycle Current Click Action
Right-Click and Hold: Change Mercenary's Assignment (on mercenary) / Select Click Action from Toolbox (on other tile)
Left-Click and Drag: Select Multiple Mercenaries (when using selection cursor) / Fire (when using targetting cursor) / Walk Gunfire (when using targetting cursor with weapon in BRST or AUTO) / Change Stance (when clicking on mercenary and dragging up or down) / Scale Obstacle (when clicking on mercenary and dragging up)
Left-Click and Hold, Right-Click, Release Left: Order all Mercenaries in Sector to Move to Specified Location


Would anyone be averse to also posting a list of all of the GABBI cheats on the Wiki? I could do one up on relatively short notice.

GABBI cheats are useful for testing. Especially the fun kind of "testing".

Yes. I had planned on adding all that. But I was lazy and haven't put it in. But I will do a much better layout soon.

Yes. Please go ahead and do the GABBI cheat hot keys. I was also going to do this myself, but since you "volunteered", please do. Smile

Holding SHIFT in tactical also sticks the cursor to the ground for easy movement of mercenaries. Like when you absolutely NEED to put a merc in that spot in the northern wall right above a locker on the inside and all you keep getting is the hand cursor...or when you have all your mercs bunched up in a tight space and you want to add one more, but everytime you click in that empty space in between the other 5 mercs, you select one of them instead and your last guy in ends up getting shot from behind, or you move your other mercs out or what ever, very frustrating....SHIFT.

V... Brings up other information in addition to version, also lists some optional settings.

SPACE on map screen togles between paused and your last selected time-compression rate.

HOME/END/PGUP/PGDN/UPARROW/DOWNARROW - On map screen these scroll up and down through the message window.

LEFTARROW/RIGHTARROW - On Map Screen, these select the next/previous Merc.

CTRL - Loadscreen, brings up game settings for the selected save.

ALT-C Load last saved game (Main Menu screen ONLY).

1.13 -

ALT-LMB = Sell item in Sector Inventory (If option is turned on)

CTRL-LMB - Permanently Delete item in Sector Inventory.

That's it. I keep the UB book close by when playing, because it has all the keys on 5 pages, so it's easy to find what I'm looking for.

Not everyone has the original JA2 or UB though, with the hard copy manuals.

I'm sure I'm overlooking something incredibly obvious, but how do I get auto-mode to fire more than one round? When I select it, it always fires only one shot unless the merc accidentally fires too many shots.

@ Twinxor

Just keep right clicking it, like you do with your regular shot. Just remember you will need APs to use it, otherwise it stays at 1 shot.


And welcome to the forum. Smile

= Equals Key : Selects all mercs in the current sector, regardless of squad, but only in real-time. (same for auto-bandage 'A')
-gabbi ALT-O deals a 100 damage to all enemies in sector, bugs can take more and will stay standing.
(I know, I'm practically begging for that wet-towel.)

Serious here, could the respective key-info be added to the various ingame help-screens:
  • (Welcome to your Laptop (press H to get help at any time)
  • Welcome to Arulco (press H to get help at any time)
  • Sector Inventory Screen (press H to get help at any time)
  • The Tactical Screen (press H to get help at any time)


CTRL-GABBI
  • ALT-G (in tactical) adds a random merc on the roster, 14-days paid. (?random?, not really, but not selectable either)
  • ALT-I (in tactical) adds a random gun on beneath your cursor.
  • ALT-W (when viewing a large item-screen in tactical screen) scrolls trough the item-list in a progressive #-fashion.
    -Put the item-you're going to view in the upper hand, or the game will 'create' an item in the upperhand: item #1.
  • ALT-B (tactical) adds an enemy soldier beneath your cursor
  • ALT-C (tactical) adds a civilian beneath your cursor
  • ALT-2 turns selected merc into a babybug-creature.
  • ALT-4 puts selected merc in a wheelchair (no-character inventory, pretty useless.)
  • ALT-5 turns selected merc into a bigbug-creature.(now we're talking)

What can I say, it takes one to know some. Wink
I've missed out on some too, there should be keys for adding bloodcats and creatures as well.

@ Kaiden

Is the list above good enough for you to add to the wiki? Or did you have another format in mind? And since no one else has suggested anything else to be added then I guess there isn't anything else to be added. At least I couldn't come up with anymore.

Only one complaint: Kaiden, if you could do a search and replace on that page's text to replace "CRTL" with "CTRL", that'd be peachy. Wink

CTRL + D : Enemies can now drop all items when they die.

Where/when do you do this. I tried it, figuring it would be an easy way to get items at the start of the game. But, I can't tell any difference from normal play. Drops in Omerta still end up averaging out at a cple of pistols and and 3-5 ammo clips, even when they are firing rifles.

If you turned it on when your merc landed on Omerta, it won't work right away. You should have enemies drop all items in the next battle.

In the INI it says something about SHIFT+F emptying all weapons on the ground in sector and removing attachments, but this doesn't seem to work. Is this a planned feature or something?

EDIT: NM I was just trying to use it in the inventory screen, it has to be done in Tactical mode and there is no notifiation.

Two months late, but better late than never.

@DeathWalker, the Ctrl-D just turns the Drop-All option ON/OFF. It can also be done through the Options screen. Both methods accomplish the same results.

COOL TRICK : Unlimited Inventory Transfer Between Sectors:
You need to have mercs in both sectors you are transferring to and from. First, open the sector inventory, and put the item you want to transfer in the sector inventory. Second, on the left hand side of the screen, it should be displaying the list of all mercs. Third, this is the important part, pick up the item from inventory screen and left click on a merc's destination, as if you are trying to move the merc (the merc has to be on duty in order to do that). The sector inventory screen on the right will disappear and enter the sector movement screen. Fourth, Right-click the mouse to exit the sector movement screen. And TADA! Just simply right-click on any merc's portrait you are transferring the item to, and put it on him. This feature is a little too complex for transferring large amount of items. But in the cases when you are short of a certain type of ammo, it could save you.



I could not get this to work. Im using v.1.13.911

Im trying to do the 3rd step: item is already in the sector inventory list, and I clicked on the merc's "Destination" (Plot Travel Route) and nothing happens - the sector invetory is still listed. I tried this with or without CTRL GABBI cheat..

Good question. I do wish that the new hot key short cuts be updated at the wiki site as soon as there created. Because I have no idea what the new ones are. At the moment anyway. So if anyone remember's what they are, could you please list them here.

Shift -f unloads, then, shift-f again removes attachments if you have the ja2_options.ini file flagged properly, If I remember correctly.

(edit)
the correct link to the new wiki hot-key list is:
http://ja2v113.pbwiki.com/ja2_and_1_13_hot_keys

I think that the info is fairly old, but still relatively accurate. (end edit)
