ImplantGRX-ActivatorHotkey
Requires Old World Blues
Old World Blues adds a perk, Implant GRX, that gives the player respawning doses of a non-addictive, Turbo-like ingestible. However they cannot be assigned to at hotkey, greatly reducing their usefulness, as they can only be activated from within the Pip-Boy.
This mods adds a way to activate the implant via a hotkey, with NVSE, and non-NVSE versions available.
With the non-NVSE mod, if the player has the Implant GRX perk, this mod will add an apparel item, [Implant GRX Activator], that can be assigned to a hotkey slot (1,3-8).
When the [Implant GRX Activator] is equipped (by hotkey or otherwise) it activates the Implant, removing a dose from the player, before unequipping itself ready to go again. Multiple activations will increase the duration of the effect, the same as if multiple doses were activated via the Pip-Boy (doeses run sequentially). It will play a sound effect if activated when there are no doses available.
As of v1.1, [Implant GRX Activator] is now a quest item. Thanks to turkmc for pointing out that quest consumables and quest apparel items do not have the same hotkeying issues. This means the mod is much tidier (activator can't be dropped, sold or otherwise lost) while still working exactly as intended. Again, thanks to turkmc.
This is an alternative to the original mod and made by request. It does not use the [Implant GRX Activator] and instead binds the middle mouse button (wheel) to activate the implant. This can be reconfigured via the console using the console command set grxhotkey to XX where "XX" is the DirectX scancode for the key you want. See http://fose.silverlock.org/fose_command_doc.html#DirectX_Scancodes for a list of possible scancodes that can be used.
For example, to reconfigure the hotkey to the 'b' key you would use the console command: set grxhotkey to 48
For numpad '9': set grxhotkey to 72
For mouse button 3: set grxhotkey to 259
The mod is currently labeled as 'experimental' but so far seems stable, reliable and without significant performance penalities - at least for me. Please report any issues you encounter in the comments section providing as much detail as you can.
Obviously, if you don't have the Implant GRX perk this mod will not let the hotkey do anything and will go into a reduced polling state. There may be a slight delay, upto 60 seconds, when switching between states before the hotkey becomes active. This delay should only occur the first time you aquire the perk, and possibly when loading some save games.
Select which version you want to use, download file and extract contents to /Data folder.
Place anywhere in your load order. (FOMM recommended)
(Running both versions at the same time will probably work but is not recommended)
This is the 3rd of my attempts to get hotkey-able Implant GRX doses, but the first method to be publically released.
Initially I removed the quest item flag, which allows the ingestible to be assigned to a hotkey. However, when the doses are exhausted the hotkey binding is lost and needs to be reassigned manually once the doses respawn.
Then I tried an NVSE driven hotkey script, but this was unresponsive and required the key to be held down so the script could catch the keypress.
This third attempt seems to negate the downsides of the other 2 solutions without too much clutter or clunk, after initial unreliable behaviour was corrected.
The latest experimental release is a revisit to the NVSE driven version by request. I rewrote the script and increased the polling levels. I do not know if this hotkey script will play nice with other mods that use hotkeys. The increased load of multiple hotkey scripts on the script engine in the game could be significant and negatively impact game performance. Please report back any issues that you encounter.
