FAQ
  • Unlimited items usage?

    That's how this add-on works.

    On server side, codes control weapon give, fire and strip related logic.

    On client side, codes drawn HUD to list options in visualized via and send request.

    So yes, unlimited for sure. Every time an option you picked was to reproduce above scene over and over.

    If you don't get it, consider this menu as a super-lite-handy spawnmenu that can only spawn items from supported mods.

  • Why menu's scope so narrow?

    • Icons. Transparent-background icon is essential, the icon is menu's soul as you shall feel it. Not all icons were pre-processed with that standard.

      Although it's convenient to make a player-inventory-weapon radial menu, but lack of fit at visual level, and merging could be a rocky task.

    • Auto-Use, Auto-Discard. Believe it or not, to achieve that costed much time on server-side codes, the main culprit is Medkits from EFT Medicine and Weapon with holster animation not declared in lua script, like this.

      It was a nightmare to track down as I want keep this feature.

    • So you want auto load all weapons and register to menu instead? Automated config generation or totally item get logic remake is an absolute HARD requirement if you want that. But is that even possible? Thousand mods probably got hundred types of codes, you dare to say every weapon can be simply given, fired and striped with no adaption covered? Even if it's done, how about management? By introducing another code review and re-design? Jesus.

    • Most important, doing any above will offset further to my first goal, even current version did, though. If you don't know it yet, my first goal was to bind a key to use STALKER2 Consumables item.

  • Bugs?

    Sort of edge conditions were covered and shall be good. Besides, multiplayer probably functional but no guarantee.

    Disclaimer
    I won't fix any potential or reported issue which related with MP since I don't play it.

    If you do have any with menu itself, feel free to leave comment, will check while I'm willing and free.

  • Customizations lack of depth and width?

    Might update later, or not.
