Quick update! Added ability to select weapons with number keys - with cycling through weapons in the same slot by pressing slot key again.

Is the menu closed with a dedicated button? Because I'd like to select a weapon with the left mouse button (fire action), similar to Half-Life and newer versions of Postal 2.

Yes. You have to manually close the menu (with the same key that opens it) to select new weapon.
I thought about two ways to close menu by fire action, as you say:
1. Bind fire key to a script that closes menu if menu is open, and fires if menu is closed. This way is impossible because there is no ACS function to make player fire.
2. When menu is opened, watch for player input (with GetPlayerInput), and if input is attack, just close the menu. But when player input is received, player has already fired. So in this case player fires, then menu is closed, then player selects new weapon.

Currently I see no way to implement Half-Life weapon menu behavior exactly. I'll be glad to hear ideas about how to do it, if it is really possible, and if there is a way, I'll try to code it.

Edit: now it is possible to select a weapon with the left mouse button, just assign special fire/close menu key.

Hate to be that guy, but how about other IWADs next? Like Heretic, Hexen, Strife, and so on? :P

Re: Weapon Selection Menu Mod v0.14 (+Heretic, autoload safe

Post by m8f »

Thanks for the suggestion!

Update:
0.13:
Added options for colors and menu position.
0.14:
Added Heretic IWAD weapons (not tested, as I don't have this game).
Also added resorting to standard weapon selection on unknown weapon sets, so mod doesn't conflict with unknown weapon sets anymore.
And another option that controls slots printing order: ascending or descending.

Hexen: I don't really think that Weapon Selection Menu is needed to help selecting one of 4 weapons.
Strife: did I understand right that Crossbow, Grenade Launcher, and Mauler have two "fire modes", and you select "mode" by pressing slot key again (like SG/SSG switching)?

That is true, though Simple Strife consolidates those three weapons in such a way that merely pressing [AltFire] will swap firemodes.
Strife Uncut brings other weapons to the table, like the Pistol, Disruptor, Boltcaster, Thrasher, and Throwable Mines.

As for something like Brutal Doom v21 (Public Beta), some extra work would be necessary, due to the revised dual-wield mechanic (when using the Pistol, SMG, Rifle, or Plasma Rifle, hit your designated [Dual-Wield/Weapon Special] key to toggle akimbo firing modes).

Brutal Doom weapon listing is in the spoiler below.

Re: Weapon Selection Menu Mod v0.16 (+Strife, +Zandronum)

Post by m8f »

Update:
0.15: added Chex Quest (Single Player) weapons.
0.16: added Strife weapons.
added option to show/hide not acquired weapons.

Working on Brutal Doom support now. As Brutal Doom code is not the easiest to understand, I have some questions:
1. Player classes BDoomer (Rifle Start), Doomer2 (Pistol Start), and TacticalDoomer (Tactical Mode) - do they share the same weapon set, or there are differences?
2. Is SMG available for Purist? There is "ClassicSMG", but I'm not sure if it is really available in game.

It seems that dual wielding won't require extra work. With menu, you will select weapons in non-dual mode (like you do without the menu), and then switch to dual-wielding with designated key. But, slot system in Weapons Menu is independent of slot system in mods, and I can add dual weapons directly to menu, to any slot. Will it be more convenient, and should I do that?

1. Yes, all three of them share the same weapon set.
2. Not sure, never played in Purist Mode.
3. Dual-Wielding selection would be up to you...
