Re: [minimod][v0.3.2] Gearbox - weapon selection mod
Not the biggest issue in the world by any means, but would it be possible to add an option to change the numbered slot boxes on top of the weapon slot boxes?

Change them to what? Font/color?

Re: [minimod][v0.3.2] Gearbox - weapon selection mod
Oops, sorry about that. I was referring to the colors, and only because sometimes after changing the weapon slot colors in Blocks Mode, the number slot colors will change to a random undesirable color. For example, if I set the weapon slot colors to a dark army green, the number slot colors will change to a hot pink, or sometimes they'll be a bright blue, the color seems to be random. As I said, it's definitely not a big deal, but it would be nice to have the option to choose if possible and have full control.

Ah, that's actually a bug. Will be fixed in the next release. It was okay before I changed the formula for color calculation.

Re: [minimod][v0.4] Gearbox - weapon/inventory handling
Thanks for the update. Very much appreciated. I'm not sure how often I will use the inventory wheel/blocks (should their style be choosable independently?) but I can see some people really liking them.
BTW, our old friend the truncation warning is back.

Re: [minimod][v0.4] Gearbox - weapon/inventory handling
Great update m8f! The inventory selection is awesome and extremely handy. By far the best inventory management mod I've used. The previous weapon key is super handy too and makes gameplay smoother, and the options cleanup QoL improvements are nice and clean. Thanks for fixing the colors issue in blocks view as well.
Would it be possible to increase the weapon threshold so that when using this with mods like Brutal Doom, or Kriegsland all the weapons would be visible at once? It might look squished, but it would still be nice. If not though, it's okay, I'll live.

Re: [minimod][v0.4] Gearbox - weapon/inventory handling
Thank you so much for reimplementing the last used weapon key! this mod is now permanently on my autoload list.
EDIT
Minor bug report, the previous weapon key does not carry over upon exiting the level.

Re: [minimod][v0.4] Gearbox - weapon/inventory handling
I want to say thanks, thanks a lot! Since I tried it, I cant play without it, it's soooo good! Love the wheel version with max number of visible weapons, intercepting the next/previous weapon key and mouse input disabled so I can still move the camera. More games should have this wheel thing to use with the mouse scroll, it's a huge quality of live improvement.
I just wish Smooth Doom's weapons would be visible.

m8f, Sorry if I didn't see this in one of the posts, but is there a plan to create controller compatiblity with this as well?

Yup, will do.StraightWhiteMan wrote:Would it be possible to increase the weapon threshold so that when using this with mods like Brutal Doom, or Kriegsland all the weapons would be visible at once?
Thanks for the heads up! Added to to-do list for v0.4.1.JohnDoe8 wrote:Minor bug report, the previous weapon key does not carry over upon exiting the level.
Fixable, will do. I won't do it for every mod, but Smooth Doom deserves it. This is better be done on mod's side.HDV wrote:I just wish Smooth Doom's weapons would be visible.
I'd prefer not to buy a controller to test one mod. Maybe if you describe what works and what doesn't, then I can make it compatible.TheBeardedJedi wrote:m8f, Sorry if I didn't see this in one of the posts, but is there a plan to create controller compatiblity with this as well?

Re: [minimod][v0.4.1] Gearbox - weapon/inventory handling
Awww man! I was soooo loking forward to this since the old weapon menu mod had compatibility with the universal bullet-time mod :cTime-freeze - probably yes. Time-slow - probably no.
