F-Key Menu

[Wolfeknight]

I have been searching for mods but I can't seem to find what I want. I have several configuration gadgets in my inventory that open configuration options for this mod or that. Is there anyway to create a mod that you can pin (for lack of a better word) these gadget to a f-key menu so that you can still access them if you need, but it clears the clutter from your inventory? I would think this is something that would probably require OBSE, but I'm not a script-er / programmer so I wouldn't know where to start.

 

If there is something out there that already does this, would you give me a hint or author or mod name so I can find it.

 

If there isn't one out there, could I possibly convince a script-er to create such a thing.

 

Thanks!

I think Enhanced Hotkeys is probably what you need.

I think Enhanced Hotkeys is probably what you need.

 

I saw that one. True it would make it so that I could make the configuration menus come up on a single key stroke, but if I drop the item from my inventory, then the hot key becomes blank and useless. What I am looking for is something that will keep the option available to change configs at any time, but clear the stuff out. Even if I could combine all the config items together in to one single one, that would be nearly good enough. Then I would only have one piece of clutter instead of a couple on each tab.

You can try using the Bag of Holding to store your configuration items. Otherwise you'd need to create a whole new mod since it would mean having to combine the scripts of all those different inventory items into one.

Ya, I started using something like that now. but I still have some icon-menus kicking around. The icons must be marked as quest Items or something because I can't drop them or move them into my bags. Frustrating.

 

If I could figure out OBSE enough to bind a chest to open when you hit say F-12, and then find a way to move all the items into that chest, I would be happy. I mean it would be a ugly piece of scripting, but it would get the job done.

I could do something like that, it's not that hard. Are you sure that there isn't any mod that already does that?

 

I wrote a script for you to do what you wanted:

 

 

scriptname examplequestscript

array_var QuestItems

float fquestdelaytime

ref item
ref container
ref base

short step
short index

Begin MenuMode

if (step == 2)
	let step := 3
endif

End

Begin GameMode

if (fquestdelaytime != 0.01)
	let fquestdelaytime := 0.01
	let QuestItems := ar_Construct Array
endif

if (OnKeyDown 88)
	let step := 1
endif

if (step == 0)
	Return
elseif (step == 1)
	let step := 2
	let container := Player
	ForEach (item <- container)
		let base := item.GetBaseObject
		if (base.IsQuestItem)
			SetQuestItem base 0
			ar_Append QuestItems base
		endif
	loop
	ChestRefID.MoveTo Player 0, 0, -50		;ChestRefID should be the reference ID you gave your chest
	ChestRefID.Activate Player 1
elseif (step == 3)
	let step := 0
	let index := 0
	while (index < ar_Size QuestItems)
		let base := QuestItems[index]
		SetQuestItem base 1
		let index += 1
	loop
	ar_Erase QuestItems
endif

End

 

 

Make sure that the chest doesn't respawn.

I don't think so. I'll been looking on and off for two days, found ton's of bags, magic bags, inventory organizers, renamers, etc... but nothing quite like this. Course I still have 2 or 3 thousand mods yet to go. That's why I asked for any hint of what key words to search. So when all the possible things I thought up failed, I started going through them one by one under any topic I thought might yield a result. So far though... nothing. I am not apposed to searching, but I need a hint of what someone might have called such a mod or how they would have described it.

 

That's when I thought to post here. Maybe someone with scripting skills could do this.

 

Like I described before it doesn't have to be fancy, and invisible chest that opens with a FKey that can moves even quest locked icon-menu into them and let them open when needed. Sounds simple enough, but in reality it's usually the simple things that are near impossible. Maybe that's why I cannot find anything.

Eek, I didn't see that you posted a script before I just rambled off. Thanks. I will see if I can finish what you started.
