Quick Menu

A BepInEx (mod loader) plugin for Shadows of Doubt. One menu for the actions of your mods, so you never have to learn their keys. Press G, or D-pad Down on a controller, and pick what you want to do.

If it saves you hunting through config files for key bindings, please leave a like on its Thunderstore page. It keeps me motivated to make more mods. Donations are welcome too:

What it does

• One menu, every mod: the actions of your other mods sit in a ring in the middle of the screen. Point at one with a stick or the mouse and press A, click or Enter.
• Only what fits the moment: an entry only shows when it can be used. "Evict tenants" appears inside someone else's apartment, "Pin case" when a case is open, "Stop waiting" while time is passing.
• Works with a controller: D-pad Down opens it while you walk around. It stays out of the way in the inventory, in conversations, at computers and on the case board, where D-pad Down already moves through lists. G works everywhere.
• Holds you still: while the menu is open you do not walk or look around, and the button you choose with does not also make you jump.
• Close it any time with B, Esc, a right click, or G and D-pad Down again.
• Looks like the game: the game's own menu font, in deep red.

Entries from my mods

Each of those mods still works exactly as before without Quick Menu, keys included. Older versions of them simply add no entries.

Config

After one launch, edit BepInEx/config/sm3gm.sod.quickmenu.cfg with the game closed.

For modders

Any mod can add entries without referencing this one. Add a static class named QuickMenuHook with a static method Entries() that returns IEnumerable<(string id, Func<string?> label, Action run)>. The label is read each time the menu opens; return null to hide the entry for now. Quick Menu finds the class by name when the menu first opens, so your mod keeps working when Quick Menu is not installed.

Install

Use Thunderstore Mod Manager or r2modman and install as normal. BepInEx is installed automatically.

To install by hand:

1. Install BepInExPack IL2CPP version 6.0.755.
2. Put SoDQuickMenu.dll in BepInEx/plugins/QuickMenu/ inside your existing BepInEx folder.
