Keybinder 0.9.0 for Wurm Unlimited

One update window for every Chamomilo mod

Hello, SKLOTOPOLIS!

Keybinder 0.9.0 is ready for testing.

Keybinder now embeds the shared Chamomilo update coordinator. The first installed Chamomilo mod to initialize owns the updater, gathers metadata for every other installed Chamomilo mod, checks their latest stable GitHub Releases in the background, and shows all available versions and download links in one window.

What is new in 0.9.0?

Shared multi-mod update coordinator

Every participating mod contributes standardized repository, installed-version, and release-asset metadata through Mod Launcher. The first coordinator instance collects the complete list through ModListener, makes one request per unique GitHub repository after the HUD is ready, and presents every update together. Duplicate updater windows and duplicate checks are suppressed for the whole game process.

Each row uses the explicit form Wurm <name> Mod. Installed version: <installed>. Available version: <latest>. You can download here: <URL>. GitHub is opened only after the player presses that row's Download button.

The reusable protocol and mandatory metadata for future mods are documented in SHARED_UPDATER.md; release builds fail if Keybinder loses its embedded coordinator or metadata.

Correct action animations for selected tools

When an ordinary action step uses a concrete Tool selected from the toolbelt, equipment, inventory filter, hovered inventory item, or an exact captured item, Keybinder now makes that item Wurm's active tool immediately before dispatch. Current active and Empty hand retain their existing behavior.

Bee-hive state normalization

Smart Improve now resolves empty, active, dormant, and noisy bee hives against the stable bee hive creation recipe and reports the correct skill.

What was new in 0.7.6?

Automatic external-object preparation

Smart Improve no longer requires the player to double-click Examine before improving a forge, altar, fence, or another external object. For Hover, Selected, and exact-object targets, Keybinder now:

• pins the exact target ID and selects it in Wurm's native Select Bar;
• sends a quiet Examine and waits asynchronously for its improvement data;
• resumes the remaining keybind steps once the matching response arrives;
• times out safely instead of acting on a different or stale target.

Queued Smart Improve actions for the same target can reuse their known requirement while still respecting the live action queue.

Partially used stone shards

Marble, slate, and sandstone shards remain valid improvement resources after their first use, including when the Wurm client reports the shortened generic name shards. Material and icon checks remain exact, so unrelated shards are not selected.

3rd Person View commands

When WU-third_person_view is installed and exposes its Keybinder command catalog, the editor adds a 3rd Person View category. This is an optional integration and does not add a hard dependency on that mod.

Compatibility

• The new messages are localized in English, Brazilian Portuguese, and German.
• Saved keybinds remain compatible with 0.7.5.
• Existing queue-monitor settings and layouts are unchanged.

Core features

• Wurm-styled keybind manager available through HUD Settings.
• One-shot capture of ordinary, server-mod, and client-mod actions.
• Action chains and Multi-keybinds that respect the character's action queue.
• Compact left- or right-edge action queue monitor with deferred cancellation.
• Hovered, selected, filtered, nearby, tile, area, inventory, equipment, toolbelt, and current-ride targets.
• Custom actions can resolve their Tool through a portable inventory filter, using toolbelt, direct inventory, and nested containers in that order.
• Mouse-wheel bindings for actions such as push, pull, and turn.
• Conditional 3rd Person View command catalog when WU-third_person_view is installed.
• Duplicate, merge, extract, import, and export tools for managed keybinds.
• Smart Improve with automatic resource selection, client-side chance estimates, and automatic Select/quiet Examine preparation for external objects.
• Archaeology Identify with automatic brush or chisel selection.
• Per-character enabled state across a shared Keybinder installation.
• English, Brazilian Portuguese, and German localization.

Installation and upgrade

1. Disable the old Custom Actions, Improved Improve, and i2improve client mods.
2. Download Keybinder 0.9.0 from GitHub.
3. Extract keybinder-0.9.0.zip into your Wurm Unlimited client directory, as usual for Ago's Client Mod Launcher.
4. When upgrading, simply overwrite the existing Keybinder files. Your managed keybinds are stored separately and are not replaced by the archive.
5. Start the game. If the KB icon is not visible, enable Keybinder in HUD Settings.

Keybinder is a keybind manager, not an unattended automation or scripting system. It sends ordinary Wurm actions while respecting your character's action queue.

Thank you to everyone who tested the new functions and sent detailed Event logs. They made these fixes possible.

If you find a bug or have another idea, please reply in the forum thread and include the relevant Event log. Enable Debug logging when possible.
