Hands-Free & Accessibility Features

This mod includes a suite of advanced accessibility features designed to enable fully hands-free, vocal-control gameplay (integrated with SL5 Aura). These additions solve major real-time strategy (RTS) accessibility barriers, such as precise mouse coordinate navigation, target-clicking, and camera panning.

These features run natively on the user-interface (GUI) side, ensuring complete stability and compatibility with other interface modifications.

Key Features

1. Single-Key Town Alert Toggle (Vocal Command: "Alarm / Entwarnung")

• Key: ö (keysym 246)
• How it works: Instead of forcing the player to manually select a Civil Centre and click the "Raise Alert" button, pressing this hotkey instantly toggles the alert state across all own Civil Centres on the map. The player's active unit selection remains completely unaffected.

2. Multi-Tap Resource Gathering (Vocal Command: "Holz / Beeren / Fleisch")

• Key: + (keysym 43 - customizable)
• How it works: This feature implements a multi-tap (click-counting) system on a single hotkey to assign selected gatherers to the nearest resources without using a mouse. When selected workers are active:
  • 1x Tap: Finds the nearest tree within 150m and commands them to gather Wood.
  • 2x Taps: Finds the nearest fruit bush within 150m and commands them to gather Fruit/Berries.
  • 3x Taps: Finds the nearest wild animal within 150m and commands them to hunt Meat.

3. Relative Directional Unit Navigation (Vocal Command: "North / South / East / West / ...")

• Keys: Numpad 1 to 9 (keysyms 1073741913 to 1073741921)
• How it works: Moves selected units in 100-meter steps relative to their current average position in any of the 8 compass directions. It uses a mathematical diagonal-offset scaling (0.707) to ensure uniform step sizes in all directions. No screen coordinates or clicks are required.

4. Screen-Space Relative Camera Navigation (Vocal Command: "Camera North / ...")

• Keys: Alt (keysym 1073742050) + Arrow Keys
• How it works: Moves the camera in large 100-meter jumps. It calculates the camera's ground focal point via Engine.GetCameraPivot() and its rotation yaw via Engine.GetCameraRotation(). By applying a 2D rotation matrix with an inverted yaw angle, arrow key panning directions remain perfectly aligned with screen-space (e.g., pressing Up always pans the camera straight up), regardless of the camera's current rotation angle.

Voice Control & SL5 Aura Integration

These shortcuts are mapped to be seamlessly controlled via spoken commands using the SL5 Aura vocal service. You can find the corresponding open-source configurations and voice plugins Examples here:

autoCivP and AutoCiv

autoCivP

participation is welcome. are you a developer or want to become one?

This mod is an aggregation of features meant to enhance the 0 A.D. game experience. I usually implement these extra features as they come up with no general plan in mind.

Feature list added by autocivP (most features from autociv )

• Reuse Drafts: Your last chat message or the last chat message you received. Easy to select a portion and simple to copy. Type Tab in an empty chat.
• Auto-save Drafts in Chat: Never Lose Your Message Again! when you use hotkey for toggle beetween allies-room to all-room content or back. This feature ensures that the content of a chat message is not lost if it has not been sent yet. Instead, the content is saved and can be retrieved even if the user navigates away from the chat screen before sending the message. This can be useful to prevent users from losing their work in progress.
• msg2 copies 2 messages greater than 8. For example, now it's much easier to copy them to a translator app and translate them into our language.
• setup all defaults by type into the chat: feature value

you can't remember the hotkeys?

You can use single letters to build.

FirstLetter of the Building (press several times for toggling) ==> build the Building

Ctrl+FirstLetter of the Building ==> selects Building or the Buildings

ALT+FirstLetter of the Creature ==> selects Creature or Creatures

intuitive h. examles:

space = jump/toggle last attack

build examles:

h = build house
m = build markt
b = build backack
f = build farm
f,f = build farmstead
f,f,f = build fortress
.... etc. understand?

select buildings examles:

ctrl+ h = select house
ctrl+ m = select markt
ctrl+ b = select backack
ctrl+ f = select farm
Ctrl+ s = select Storehouse Ship Stable ElephantStable Dock ...
Ctrl+ X = select Barracks + ElephantStable + Stable (remember X like nearly everything)
... etc.

select Creatures examles:

alt+ W = select woman
alt+ I = select infrantrie
Alt+ P = select Pikeman, Spearman, Fanatic
Alt+ C = Cavalry
Alt+ A = Archer, Elephant&Archer, Slinger Javelineer, ...
Alt+ S = Swordman , ..
Alt+ E = Elephant for Support
Alt+ K = Catapult (exceptions becouse of conflict)
Alt+ H = Healer
J = wounded (exceptions becouse near Healer)
k = selects only nowoundedonly using mouse
.... etc. understand?

exceptionally other spellings:

this selects all >D<angerous E. archer-,war-,hero-Elephant,... (not Support&Elephant):

Alt+ D = Dangerouse Elephants
Alt+ V = Siege and Ministers (Siege: rams, not heros, Catapult, Bolt Shooter, Siege Tower ...)
Alt+ M, Alt+X = select all military ( nowoundedonly )
Alt+ N = select all non military
... etc. please tell if you missing something

https://youtu.be/MSnrCGFqxjo

select Barracks + ElephantStable + Stable) "Ctrl+X" (remember X like nearly everything)

Barracks, ElephantStable ,Stable = "Ctrl+X"

this selects only nowoundedonly using mouse (May think about oK. he is ok or so):

hotkey.autociv.selection.nowoundedonly = "K"

this selects only woundedonly using mouse (think about: Lie down to bed better to geht healty again):

hotkey.selection.woundedonly = "L"

selects diplomacy with < (think about: give out, move resources to your partners):

diplomacy.toggle = "<"

Howto find the names? i use create map scenario editor

BTW cant find WarElephant into the scenario editor
