Disable radial menu

[Mike89]

What update are you talking about? Any updates did not eliminate the full screen menu when switching weapons. Only this mod did that.

not as important as it used to be. With the latest update, using the hotkeys no longer brings up the radial menu.

I guess, but many people use the scroll wheel on their mouse to select weapons, and it's annoying to have the radial menu pop up as you're doing that.

Didn't know that. I'll try to get it fixed soon, then.

Thanks, your mod did what the game makers should have done.

Any progress in getting this Mod up and running with latest patch?

 

[gameqube]

here is a return of this mod, working with latest game patch.

Some patches made by volition did modify the same file that DataSnake had modded, so it needed an update.

Basically, in the patch_uncompressed.vpp_pc, there is a new version of hud.str2_pc
And in patch_compressed.vpp_pc, there is a new version of hud.lua

This later file hud.lua is already found in the hud.str2_pc from patch_uncompressed.vpp_pc, and they have exactly the same content. So, I have no idea why that file is included in patch_compressed.vpp_pc

My update contains both files updated, just to be in sync, even though hud.str2_pc is the important one.

===================================================

In the future, if those files are modified again in another patch, it is easy to update the mod again.

Details regarding what to do are found in this thread:
http://www.saintsrowmods.com/forum/threads/disable-weapon-select-pause.3266/#post-28764

1. Get hud.str2_pc from the patch_uncompressed.vpp_pc packfile, and extract its contents.

2. Open file hud.lua in Notepad++ or other editor

3. find the function (line 969 at present):
function hud_inventory_show()
and rename the function by appending the number 2 so it looks like:
function hud_inventory_show2()

4. find the function (line 1237 at present)
function hud_inventory_set_selected_weapon(selected_weapon_index)

add the following function call inside the function body
Hud_weapon_radial:game_equip_selected_slots()

the result looks like:
function hud_inventory_set_selected_weapon(selected_weapon_index)
Hud_weapon_radial:weapon_highlight(selected_weapon_index)
Hud_weapon_radial:game_equip_selected_slots()
end

5. do the same for function (line 1242 at present)
function hud_inventory_set_selected_grenade(selected_grenade_index)

so that it looks like:
function hud_inventory_set_selected_grenade(selected_grenade_index)
Hud_weapon_radial:weapon_highlight(selected_grenade_index + 8)
Hud_weapon_radial:game_equip_selected_slots()
end

6.save results and repackage hud.str2_pc and update .asm_pc files.

Thanks for bringing this back.

Does this still work?

Does this still work?

You'll need to get the updated version. See gameqube's post above, that's the one you want. The version in the OP is outdated.

Alright, thanks
