README

QuickWheel

A radial quick-chat wheel for STRAFTAT. Send a message to the lobby without taking your fingers off WASD.

How to use

  1. Hold your wheel key (default: Mouse3, the back side button).
  2. Flick the mouse toward a phrase. It lights up once you pass the inner circle.
  3. Left click to send it. Right click (or letting go with nothing highlighted) cancels.

While the wheel is open:

  • You keep moving, jumping, sliding and wall running as normal.
  • Your aim is frozen, so the flick only picks a phrase.
  • Your gun won't fire, including from the click that sends the message.

Setting it up

Change settings in-game with Mod Menu (recommended), or in your mod manager's config editor (Gale, r2modman, etc.).

Tip: with Mod Menu, turn on Show Wheel While Editing at the top of QuickWheel's page. A faint copy of the wheel stays on screen while that page is open, and it updates as you change phrases and settings. It disappears as soon as you leave the page.

Setting Default What it does
Show Wheel While Editing off Shows a preview of the wheel while QuickWheel's Mod Menu page is open
Slot 1 to 8 gg, nice shot, push!, ... Your phrases. Slot 1 is at the top, then clockwise. Leave one empty to remove it
Open Wheel Mouse3 Any key or mouse button
Open Mode Hold Hold: open while held. Toggle: press to open, press again to close
Send Mode Click Click: left click sends. Release: letting go of the key sends (Hold mode only)
Freeze Aim on Stops the camera turning while the wheel is open
Select Distance 40 How far you move the mouse before a slice lights up. Shown as the inner circle
Slot Count 8 2, 3, 4, 6 or 8 slices. Uses your first N phrases
Wheel Size 360 Wheel diameter in pixels
Settings Preview 3 Seconds the preview flashes on the Mod Menu page after a change (when Show Wheel While Editing is off)
Cooldown 0.75 Minimum seconds between messages, so you never hit the game's spam lockout

If the key you pick is also bound to something in the game, the preview shows a warning in orange.

Good to know

  • Messages go to normal lobby chat, so everyone in the lobby sees them, including the other team. STRAFTAT has no team chat.
  • Other players don't need the mod. They just see a regular chat message.
  • The wheel won't open while you're paused or typing in chat.
  • It doesn't patch any game code, so it should get along with other mods.
