SPM v2.0 is now public!

I quickly received a lot of feedback on SPM after release, so I've created a v2 with several improvements.

V2.0 Updates

  • All subcategories with a single result will have the result brought to the top pie menu when searching, as long as there is room for all of them. This prevents unnecessary clicking through categories like "Mean" just to see a single result.
  • A settings button has been added to the pie menu, which is only visible when using the shift+click pie menu (cheat interactions)
  • The settings button gives you two options currently:
    Change Search Mode
    Change Search Text Size
  • Change Search Mode lets you pick between search always being enabled, or you can activate the search by pressing T or the Enter key.
  • When using a key-triggered search mode, activating the search will display "search for..." so you know the search is active.
  • Search Text Size lets you change between the normal text size and a larger option for those who have trouble seeing the normal text size.

===========================

Simply open the pie menu and start typing whatever interaction you want, it will narrow the results for you. When there's only a single interaction found, you can press enter to run the interaction.

Features

  • Searchable Pie Menu: As soon as the pie menu is opened, you can type to filter the interactions. If results are found, the menu will refresh with the filtered results.
  • Press Enter to Select: If your search returns a single result, you can press enter to immediately select that interaction.
  • Time Controls with Search Active: Hold alt and press `, 0, 1, 2, or 3 to set the respective time.
  • Pan Camera with Search Active: Press the arrow keys for the respective directions. There is a small delay before moving which is unavoidable due to the core game engine restrictions.

Really happy with how it's turned out. 😊

does pink ui conflict with this too?

Hi Tmex, this mod is an absolute lifesaver, I don't think I could go back to playing without it. Thank you. I have two comments / requests if I may: - Would it be possible to have the alt-modifier work all the time, not just when the pie menu is active? For muscle memory it'd be nice to have the consistency. Also, I sometimes have a small delay when opening the pie menu (I don't think that's related to your mod) but say I click to open the pie menu and immediately try to pause the game by pressing alt+`, it doesn't work until the pie menu has actually loaded. If the keybind would be uniform whether the pie menu is open or not, that'd be alleviated. - Where I am from, the US-International is the default keyboard layout. With it, certain punctuation marks become sticky as to create accents on letters (E.g. pressing ` followed by an e makes an è). So if I pause the game using ` and then open the social menu and start typing to search, the ` is "loaded up" and I either print an ` (if the letter can't have an accent) or make an accented letter. I'm not sure what an obvious solution would be to this, but perhaps you could give it a thought?

As the code is actually in the pie menu's UI file, it can't work until the pie menu has loaded. For the second issue, I'm not really sure what you're explaining. I would probably need to a see a video of it, but I'd also be curious what happens if you type into the cheat console for example. The pie menu is just taking a regular textfield input so it should be identical to typing in any other field in the game.

Don't know if it's intentional or not but with the search mode option(with T or Enter), it automatically goes back to search mode whenever I go to a second tab of the pie menu sort of making the option useless. Like if I click on another sim it will be in non search mode but once I click the friendly tab, it automatically goes back to search mode.
