Public Release of Mouse Wheel Menu for Messages and Commands

Postby AceOfThumbs » Mon Jan 28, 2008 5:29 am

I've just released a Mouse Wheel Menu config generator. It creates a customizable menu that shows up in the game at the top of the screen and allows you to use your mouse wheel to scroll through and select messages and game options.

It is simple to use and hard to explain. Check out the web page and you'll see how it works. I put up a video to demonstrate it.

There are full presets for CTF, TDM, and Teaching. There are some menu components for HUD settings and switching configs. What would be great is if everyone pitched in with their own ideas on messages and useful utility menu components. It could be a nice resource.
So much to do, so little time to do it

AoT, that's sorta how I'm setting up the BCoB messages, minus the fact that BCoB doesn't use the MWHEEL click to enter.

So I'll add a little thanks to AoT for the idea, or something like that.

oh, and back to the topic of your messages:

I love the way you've done it it is really helpfull, though I'm not sure it I would have used the same way of echoing the messages, but hey. It's me, who cares ;)

LOL the generated scripts look awesome ;)

But I'm quite sure I'll use it for doing various vote calls, as I can see I can use this stuff for anything I like, not just say messages.

And you are more then welcome to use it this way. AoT has even built in the ability to save your config with a password.

It's a wonderful script and AoT has put a lot of work into it. It takes a little getting used to but it really does make things easier once you get used to it.

If you want to test the waters, check out the ninja config I saved, it's ~80% of where I'd like it to be, I'm still fine tuning it for options I use most.

Perhaps in the future, I'll create some configs catered towards different field positions.
