About this mod

Complete RTS command scheme, playable out of the box: WASD/edge camera panning under a fixed-tilt overhead camera, left-drag marquee / click unit selection (shift adds), scroll zoom, right-click march orders with ring formations, and squads via clickable HUD chips (number keys 1-9 recall — no ctrl chords, browsers eat those). Ships the commander controller, the overhead camera, an order-following unit behavior, a HUD with drag-select rectangle and squad chips, and a starter fireteam of four units so a fresh install has something to command.

Versions

1.4.0Jul 16, 2026

Playable out of the box: ships a starter fireteam of four commandable units (soldier-1..4). Squads reworked — no ctrl chords (browsers eat ctrl+digit): brand/recall/clear via clickable HUD chips, number keys 1-9 recall. Command ring FX now inlined in player.js (fixes the missing move-ping.js reference from 1.3.0). Commander self-defends against install-order fall-through: stays bodiless and snaps back to terrain if dropped under the world. HUD boot sends both bare and namespaced input names, so the HUD works in dev folders and installed copies alike. Right-click orders play a confirm blip; march orders fan into ring formations as before.

1.3.0Jul 16, 2026

Clean installs now work with zero UI wiring: select/selectUp/command ship bound to the real mouse, and the commander falls back to the engine's pointer ray when no HUD is reporting clicks. The HUD is now an optional upgrade (virtual cursor, marquee rectangle, edge pan, squad chips) — it announces itself with a hudHello heartbeat, and while it's alive raw mouse clicks are ignored so nothing double-fires. Setup guide rewritten: bare install first, HUD wiring as the upgrade, pointerLock only with the HUD, plus a note that pre-5.2.3 engines don't namespace mod HUD sendAction (fixed engine-side in 5.2.3).

1.2.0Jul 13, 2026

Fixes dead controls in fresh installs: the HUD now works with or without pointer lock (real-cursor fallback for clicks, marquee, and edge pan), so a game that hasn't set camera.pointerLock still selects and orders. Setup guide rewritten — wiring ui.render to mods/rts-controls/ui.js is STEP 1 and its absence is named as the exact no-selection/no-edge-pan symptom. Also: control groups (ctrl+1..9 binds the selection, tap recalls it, dead units drop off; HUD squad chips), and the commander now stays invisible even if the engine applies a profile avatar after spawn.
