Shawn's Lucy Menu Modification Thread™

[ShawnSigma]

Hi, I just wanted to ask if some options could be added for giving players perks and if the regular grenades could be added to the weapon list.

The grenades are:

Frag			eq_frag_grenade
Acid Bomb		eq_acid_bomb
Wraithfire		eq_wraith_fire
Claymore		claymore
Sentry			mini_turret

Perks to include would be:

specialty_fastreload					Speed Cola
specialty_quickrevive					Quick Revive
specialty_rof							Double Tap 1.0
specialty_doubletap2					Double Tap 2.0
specialty_staminup						Stamin-Up
specialty_phdflopper					PhD Slider
specialty_deadshot						Deadshot Dealer
specialty_additionalprimaryweapon		Mule Kick
specialty_electriccherry				Electric Burst
specialty_widowswine					Winter's Wail
specialty_awareness						Death Perception
specialty_berserker						Dying Wish
specialty_cooldown						Timeslip
specialty_camper						Stone Cold Stronghold
specialty_extraammo						Bandolier Bandit
specialty_shield						Victorious Tortoise
specialty_etherealrazor					Ethereal Razor
specialty_zombshell						Zombshell
specialty_wolf_protector				Blood Wolf Bite
specialty_death_dash					Blaze Phase

The 17 perks actually featured as drinkable bottles all have their modifier effects too, all formatted the same way as "specialty_mod_[name]"

There are also other perks it'd be nice to have access to:

specialty_fallheight					Fall damage immunity (not included in PhD for some reason)
specialty_unlimitedsprint				Unlimited sprint
specialty_sprintfire					Fire while sprinting
specialty_sprintgadget					Use grenades while sprinting (not included in Stamin-Up modifier for some reason)
specialty_freefire						Infinite clip ammo (Freefire elixir effect)
specialty_ammodrainsfromstockfirst		Ammo is consumed from stock before clip (Stock Option elixir effect)
specialty_locdamagecountsasheadshot		All hits count as headshots (Head Drama elixir effect)
specialty_lowgravity					Low gravity (player only?)
specialty_doublejump					Jump thrust from multiplayer
specialty_fastweaponswitch				Switch weapons faster
specialty_fastmeleerecovery				Recover from melee faster
specialty_fastads						Faster ADS

Let me know if any of this is possible, the menu is really nice!

Yeah I can get these added, The menu does have Give all Perks, but it only awards the players set perks, so i'll have to test each one. Im in the process of rewriting some stuff, and how the menu is put together, so i'll do this while I change things.

EDIT: Also, thanks for the info regarding Shield, although I'm also changing the implementation for that, so I can utilise Shield Huds :D. I'll probably keep a legacy version with iPrintLnBold as well.

[ShawnSigma]

I was thinking the perk menu could just use the setperk/unsetperk functions, no need for full functionality right away (having both options would be nice since there are definitely some perks I'd rather get with setperk instead of drinking the bottle).

Also, I've seen a weapon name, "wraith_fire_fire", which says it's tied to a grenade called "Thermite". If this is the same thermite you can get with the Atian menu then it's definitely not what we're looking for, but I wonder if "wraith_fire" by itself would work, or "eq_wraith_fire" or something like that. Being able to get your wraithfires back after doing certain steps in some easter eggs would be the dream

[ShawnSigma]

UPDATE: I found the correct names for the grenades! I've put them in my original post. I've actually been working on this thanks to the menu being open source, and I've tested all of them, they're fully functional

I've also gotten a perk menu up and running, works fine too. I haven't been able to figure out how to get the bottles to work though

UPDATE 2: Modder SyndiShanX on Discord gave me the code to use to give and take a perk properly, HUD icon and all, just without a bottle animation. I'm putting them here for safekeeping

self thread zm_perks::wait_give_perk(perk); to give a perk
self notify(perk + "_stop"); to take a perk away

This is what the perk functions look like right now:

GivePerk(perk) {
    if (self hasperk(perk)) {
        self unsetperk(perk);
        self iPrintLn(perk+" ^1Disabled");
    } else {
        self setperk(perk);
        self iPrintLn(perk+" ^2Enabled");
    }
}

GiveProperPerk(perk) {
    if (self hasperk(perk)) {
		self notify(perk + "_stop");
    } else {
        self thread zm_perks::wait_give_perk(perk);
    }
}

(no notification for the second function because the perk now actually appears on the HUD and your character comments on it as if they got it from a perk machine)

[ShawnSigma]

Additionally, a problem I've encountered is that the mod seems to have an upper limit of how many menu items there can be. The new perks initially made the game crash as soon as I tried opening the menu, and they stopped when I commented out some other preexisting menu items I never use.
Since you said you're reworking the whole menu you should probably pay attention to that and see if it's still an issue with the new version

EDIT: This is just the same as Issue #2, the 512 menu item limit

Im aware of this, its an issue with the base itself, and documented in #2 on the reason for the crash. I just never actually got around to sorting this, as quite honestly I don't play BO4 or Cold War enough to deal with it. IIRC I did work out what was happening, just never got around to it, and eventually it stopped popping up.

As for the perks, the way BO4's system works is you pick 4 in a map to have in the machines, and thats it. You can of course get more with Perkaholic and such, but the Elixir Menu is there for that. zm_perks provides a dedicated function which we use already, which awards all the perks, and the modifier in use, but only for in map perks. You can also call setPerk(perkName);, then use zm_perks::function_305131b1(perkName); to just trigger the perk and dialog, FYI. Vending with the bottle is Vending_Trigger_Post_Think iirc

[AuroraDoesCode]

Taking me a little longer to go through this as well as make all the changes I want this update, but I've added these into the special weapons and items section, which is also going through changes right now. Idea is this update will mostly focus on cleanup, and sorting weapons into arrays and just using them that way, instead. Seems to cut down on the issue a lot, and since we have so much defined this way, I can do it for the Weapons, Upgraded Weapons, Elixirs, and more. Perks are in their own menu, and are working as you intended, even with all the current options.

[AuroraDoesCode]

Just pushed a bunch for you to work with, regarding this. You should be able to just switch out the wait_give_perk with vending_trigger_post_think and have it work for the current perks, I need to look at the others, as they crash the game almost instantly. Also, some of the perks don't actually like being awarded this way, Not sure why.
