DBF Reforged — R50 HellForge edition

Automated Stratagem System (ASS)
For HellForge 0.4 / game build 25480438.

Your stratagems. In the game. Select from a wheel or list and DBF enters the code for you; you throw the beacon yourself.


Features
  • Native eight-slot wheel, expanded wedges and List Select, with in-game icons and cooldown displays.
  • Mouse and controller selection, with optional Select on Release. Return to the center before releasing to cancel.
  • Three cooldown layouts: icon dock, compact overview and compact row. Weapon status appears beside its silhouette.
  • An editor for settings, controls and blacklist management. Settings and diagnostics stay separate from the native gameplay HUD.

Install
Close the game, import divers-best-friend-R50-hellforge.11.zip directly into HellForge, enable DBF and restart. Import the DBF ZIP once; NEST is included automatically. There are no inner ZIPs to extract or import.

NEST (Native Extension and Settings Toolkit) provides DBF’s shared menu, input and rendering services. It is bundled with DBF and can serve future mods without a separate overlay for each mod.


Controls and optional mods
  • F7: open the DBF editor.
  • Page Down: open NEST.
  • Open the normal stratagem menu to select a stratagem, then throw the beacon when its code finishes. Default list controls are scroll down for Next, scroll up for Previous and left-click to confirm.
Configure selection, bindings, exclusions and HUD appearance in DBF. Ctrl+F searches the editor; F9 applies reviewed changes. Fresh installations use arrow entry for terminals; Instant is available in Settings. Existing preferences carry forward.

Existing BSL can remain enabled for other mods, with no BSL version requirement. The optional HellForge edition of DBF-MCM edits the same DBF preferences.

Upgrading: If standalone NEST 0.8.1 is still enabled, disable it and restart once. DBF starts its bundled NEST automatically. A compatible standalone NEST 0.8.2 is reused.

for some reason its not showing the wheel anymore no matter what i change. it started like 4 days ago and also updated it as well as soon as i saw there was one. also disabled a lot of mods to try to see if there is a conflict.

Looks like HUD+ causing a conflict. Try disabling its stratagems module

Mod Seems to not be populating the Keybind Section. At this time I have been unable to make the mod work. It loads, and its settings show up, but the keybinds do not.

(Even when only it and the dependencies are running.)

Any idea what I may have messed up?


Image below shows as far as I was able to get. Selection does not seem to be possible in this state.

Code: 
Diver's Best Friend R41 - MissionBlacklist
status=expanded wedges: 6 stratagems / 8 sectors
count=6
full_color_icons=true
wedge_darkness=70; wedge_opacity=75
centering=viewport=1920.0x1080.0 matrix=1,0,0,1,0,0 list=292.0x416.0 matrix=0.89999997615814,0,0,0.89999997615814,-319.5,633.59997558594 local_center=1275.68,-312.00; vertical_offset=0
pointing=off; keybinding list mode
mode=Experimental; experimental_layout=2
before_latest_apply=separate native sprites; no paging; tangentially scaled 45-degree sectors
selection=Game is not foreground
last_result=nil
last_confirmation=nil
select_on_release=false; release_status=Disabled or no valid radial snapshot
input_interval_ms=30
last_open=Game is not foreground; cards=0:124:no-timer:-,2:33:no-timer:-,4:65:no-timer:-,5:63:no-timer:-,6:134:no-timer:-,7:66:no-timer:-; selected=nil; buttons=unavailable
last_block=Game is not foreground


Same exact result writh R42.

The camera also does not lock on the radial menus making selection impossible.

You got something running along side it that's conflicting. I'd need to know what.

The 4 here are the only ones I have active right now and the keybind options still do not show up.

I previously tried with the loader and mod options inside of vanilla plus, which had the exact same result.

Update:

Managed to get it working by deleting the mod's values from the ModOptionsMenu.values and having them re-populate.

everything starting with "native_stratagem_radial"

The steering wheel can always be summoned, but the cursor cannot be summoned for selection.I've tried using different control schemes , but none of them worked. It's possible that a mod conflict is the issue, but I have so many mods installed and it's difficult to determine which one is causing the problem.

Since the number of available keybinds in Mod Binds is limited, would it be possible to add on/off toggles for keybinds in Mod Options? That would free up up to 3 available key slots.

Hey I love your mod, however i've been using the new HUD+ update and I noticed I kinda have to keep a count in my head now since the highlight doesn't seem to work on the strategem list that mod brings up in its' new "3D" environment or whatever,

https://www.nexusmods.com/helldivers2/mods/15298?tab=description

are you maybe planning on working towards compatibiility with that mod in particular? I'm kinda getting used to counting in my head now so I guess it'll be fine either way lol

I can add a compatibility layer.
