Radial Quickslots

A BepInEx mod for Outward that adds a radial (pie) menu for your quickslots. Hold a key, drag the mouse toward a slot, release to use it. Purely client-side, should work in multiplayer even if only you have it.

I was inspired by how much better the quickbar works on controller than on PC. Also radial menus are just great in general.

Very much still a work in progress, it's a little ugly, and there may be some edge-case issues I haven't found yet. Expect updates eventually.

Features

• Hold-to-open radial menu for quickslots
• Mouse-drag selection with adjustable deadzone, so releasing without moving does nothing
• Shows the hovered item's name in the center
• Camera look and attacks are frozen while the radial is open
• Your hotkey takes precedence over the game's own quickslot hotkeys while held
• Optionally hides the stock on-screen quickslot bar

Installation

Install with R2ModMan, it's super easy.

Or install manually:

1. Install BepInEx into your Outward folder and run the game once.
2. Take RadialQuickslots.dll, and put it in BepInEx/plugins/.
3. Launch the game.

Usage

1. Hold the hotkey (default Q).
2. Move the mouse toward the slot you want.
3. Release the key to use that slot.

To cancel, move back to the center (inside the deadzone) and release.

Configuration

Use the F5 ConfigurationManager in-game.

Setting	Default	Description
Hotkey	Q	Hold to open the radial. Rebind with the "press a key" recorder in ConfigurationManager. Modifier combos like Shift+Q work.
IncludeItemSlots	false	Adds the 3 item slots (8-10) as extra wedges.
HideStockBar	true	Hides the game's on-screen quickslot bar.
Deadzone	35	Drag distance needed before a slot is selected. Releasing inside it does nothing.
DragRange	140	Maximum drag distance. Smaller means less mouse travel to reach a slot.
Sensitivity	6	Mouse sensitivity while the radial is open.
UIScale	1.0	Overall size multiplier for the radial.
RingRadius	210	Distance of the slots from the center (pixels at 1080p).
SlotSize	104	Size of each slot box (pixels at 1080p).
SlotOpacity	0.55	Opacity of unselected slot backgrounds.

Notes and known limitations

• While the radial is open, the game's quickslot hotkeys are disabled, so the key you pick always wins over the stock binding.
• Only that quickslot handling is swallowed. If you bind the radial to a key the game uses for something else (dodge, sprint, etc.), that action may still fire.
• Only the first local player is supported (no split-screen).

AI DISCLOSURE: AI WAS HEAVILY USED TO ASSIST IN CREATING THE CODE FOR THIS MOD. HOWEVER, I AM ALSO A PROGRAMMER AND HAVE WORKED IN UNITY, SO I KNOW A GOOD BIT ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING. I BUILT THE ORIGINAL CAMERA MOD BY HAND, AND THEN USED FREE TIER CHATBOTS TO ITERATE AND EXPAND ON IT FASTER THAN I COULD BY HAND. I DO NOT PAY MONEY FOR ANY AI USAGE, AND I AM AGAINST THE RECKLESS DEPLOYMENT AND EXPANSION OF COMMERCIAL GENERATIVE AI AND ITS EFFECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT, LOCAL COMMUNITIES, AND ARTISTS.
