[minimod][v0.7.2] Gearbox - weapon/inventory handling

Post by m8f »


(Wheel with Heretic)

(Blocks with Treasure Tech)

What it is

Gearbox is an add-on for GZDoom that provides more convenient ways to select weapons and items.

It is a successor to the old Weapon Menu mod, which is no longer developed.

Download: latest release or development build
Source code
Discord

How to use
  1. GZDoom 4.5 or newer required
  2. open the menu by assigned key, or by next/previous weapon keys, if enabled in options
  3. select the weapon with next/previous weapon keys, or with mouse (wheel only)
Features
  • Different representations: blocks, wheel, plain text
  • Press Fire key to select and Alt Fire key to cancel
  • Color and scale options
  • Customizable behavior
  • Multiplayer compatible
  • Reaction to number keys
  • extras.wad icon support for vanilla weapons
  • Inventory item selection
  • Moving weapon between slots and changing order
Compatibility
  • For mod authors: if you want Gearbox to support your mod out of the box, assign Inventory.AltHUDIcon for your weapons! Tag property is also nice to have.
  • PyWeaponWheel v0.3 overrides time freezing. If you are using both mods and want to freeze time with Gearbox, set PyWeaponWheel's option "Freeze when wheel is open" (py_weaponwheel_freeze CVar) to Off. Note that PyWeaponWheel may be built in some mods, for example in Project Brutality. The solution is the same: disable time PyWeaponWheel's time freezing (Main Menu -> Project Brutality -> Gameplay Settings -> Weapon Special Wheel Freezes Time, set it to Off).

This mod is a part of m8f's toolbox.

Good afternoon!

GZDoom 4.1.3 don't work for me(

It is hoped that in the future it will be possible to run on older versions of GZDoom?

Error on 4.4.2:

Code: Select all

Script error, "gearbox-v0.1.pk3:zscript/wheel/view.zs" line 119:
Unknown identifier 'DTA_Rotate'
Script error, "gearbox-v0.1.pk3:zscript/wheel/view.zs" line 128:

I forgot to specify the requirements in the topic and in the mod itself. GZDoom 4.5 is required to run this properly.

If someone really wants to run this with prior GZDoom version or with LZDoom, open the mod with Slade, go to the lines with errors, and just comment them out. The weapon wheel will look off (weapon items are not rotated and highlight stays on the same place), but it should be functional.

Hey, great work as always!
I'm gonna use this the instant it supports number keys as well, as what bugs me with two or more weapons per slot is that I can't double-tap to skip over the SSG for example.
Say, this is probably not quite the right place to ask this, but I thought it's the most immediate way to reach you and since most forum members don't have a GitHub account, I thought this'd be the best place to get some more opinions.
I have an idea for another thing that might fit in your toolbox, a metronome which displays whenever a damaging floor hurts you. For most this is 32 tics, same as and in sync with weapon bobbing. What do you think?

Reaction to number keys is on the way. Edit: added to devbuild.

Regarding damaging floor metronome - it would be very impolite of me to hog all the good ideas ;) If someone makes such a mod, I'll be glad to notify my social media channels that it exists.

Hoping to see this develop more. Weapon Menu was one of my favorite minimods from you, so glad to see this. However I have one crash and an issue.

I noticed when using the wheel menu, you cannot move the mouse to select a weapon while moving at the same time. Each time a movement key is pressed, the cursor the mouse controls goes back to the middle, meaning you have to stand still to select weapons, which without the SloMo cross-mod support this time, is a bit difficult in combat.

As for the crash, I got this when starting a new game with Quake Champions: Doom Edition.

EDIT: I also noticed some mods, like Nobody Told Me About Id, use the same sprite for multiple weapons. (The SMG and Dual SMG both use the chaingun sprite) so maybe it would also help to display the name of the highlighted weapon?

When I use the block representation and when I select the only weapon I have in my inventory, I have a crash. (Test made with "Weasel Presents: Terrorists!")

Just gave this a shot with LegenDoom 2.8 (with the Rifles addon, which probably doesn't matter) - I don't think that mod specifies inventory icons, due to its unusual circumstances of determining how a weapon looks. As a result, the wheel looks rather barren:

This with the latest dev build as of January 4, 8:30 AM PST.

The absence of icons for certain mods is a known problem - I plan to mitigate this by allowing creating patches that would define icons.

The real question, however, is why placeholder black circles are not in the center of their sectors, and why the wheel is so big. Can you please tell your screen resolution and Video Mode settings, like resolution and scaling?

I'm quite happy it works with Malice, but is it normal for it to be on one side of the screen? Also, is a time-freeze and/or time-slow option a possibility?

It's the intended position and size. I may add options to move it to the left or to the center later. Time-freeze - probably yes. Time-slow - probably no.

This was running on a 1080p panel in borderless full screen mode, with the video Scale Factor reduced to 0.5. The Scale setting in the Gearbox options was at 1.
