@magge I don't think so either, but I tried another approach of listening in on the OnCommandIssued event. This would not include every single click, but maybe that is a good thing? Curious if you or someone else can see something I don't here, before I go too far down this road.

This is a simple test, but it does correctly logs the current APM over the last minute. Multiple commands given at once counts as one action, but we could still aggregate that data and a lot more, if it could be interesting in the statistics.

APM_1.zip if you want to try, but this is really all it does right now:

INFO: Current APM: 6 .. Total actions: 6 .. Total commands: 20 INFO: apmlog: { INFO: - 21.650968551636: { INFO: - - AggressiveMove: 1 INFO: - } INFO: - 4.588408946991: { INFO: - - BuildMobile: 1 INFO: - - None: 1 INFO: - } INFO: - 6.1044588088989: { INFO: - - Move: 1 INFO: - } INFO: - 6.5816397666931: { INFO: - - Move: 1 INFO: - } INFO: - 5.6394691467285: { INFO: - - Move: 1 INFO: - } INFO: - 9.7966756820679: { INFO: - - BuildMobile: 13 INFO: - - None: 1 INFO: - } INFO: }

Sure, you can dive into that. I don't have a source on how the trueskill mechanism works though. Maybe someone else can point you to that. Regardless, I doubt that the issues you raise warrant any major changes to the system. It's such a niche case in which it hampers player enjoyment. To make the leaderboards more complex to cover that, doesn't seem proportionate to me.

@bronedooy I am working on this mod, slowly, and it will include a list of useful functions like this, so it might be added there in the future. This mod is foucsed on more overarching changes to the arcitecture of how hotkeys work though, and also has a thousand other struggles I need to solve, so might be a while until you can use it.

I have had similar ideas however and we should be able to solve your problems seperately.

You inspired me to make a new thread for this purpose, feel free to post it there with some more details

It is possible, I just don't think it is a good solution. We could increase how fast the time bonus for waiting in queue increases if people feel it takes too long to get to the maximum. But the suggestion to do it based on active people seems to me to increase complexity a lot for marginal benefits.

@Brutus5000 Seems "randomly" for older mods and all the time for recent uploads.

Hey, want to get your thoughts on some further ideas here.

I'm thinking to create a dialog, possibly opened from a new button in the default hotkeys page. From there I imagine a set of tabs for the different contexts, like for engineers or factories selected. In each tab it's possible to create commands for that context, even chain link several commands to run in sequence (for example: select all TML + Group scatter + enter launch mode). In the end you can create a set of finely tuned hotkeys from all possible default hotkeys commands.

As the next step i imagine an import function where users can share their hotkeys either for all or specific contexts. Maybe someone likes my engineer hotkeys, and your factory hotkeys - should be possible to mix. When importing it would be nice to be able to convert between different keyboard layouts (languages) so it gets the same placement.

I think it will be an awesome project, worthy of integration. It would be great to get your help. You in on giving it a try?

@arran Ah! That's right, I forgot the SMDs! For V4 they will have graduated from elemantary school, promise!

Casts, I know.. sorry about that 👼 You know what, I will write some YT comments and ask if they want to try it!
