SourceMod Menu Generator (C# / .NET 2.0) (v1.0.0.1, 2013/04/05)

Powerlord · **Author**

One thing I see a lot in SourceMod is plugin developers having trouble making menus for their plugins.

I saw the AMXX Menu Generator and it inspired me. If someone can create an AMXModX menu generator, why can't someone make a SourceMod Menu Generator?

So I did!

It's written in C# using Visual Studio 2010, but targets the .NET 2.0 framework rather than 4.0. Source code is licensed under GPLv3.

Special things:

Only menu items that are selectable will show up in the MenuAction_Select area.
Menu items marked No Text or Spacer will not show up in the MenuAction_DisplayItem area.
return 0; is added if Item Translation or Override Draw Styles is added. This prevents a compiler warning.

To do list:

Add support for Vote menus.
Errors need to be presented better.
Make comments optional in generated code
Improve UI
Make a real program icon instead of the generic "Visual Studio Program" icon.

this looks nice!
I have not gotten any luck so far to bring up a menu....
could you do an example with basic commands ?

oh lol I think I know what I did wrong:

Code:

warning 203: symbol is never used: "MyFunction"

how can I call "myfunction" ?

MyFunction is just a placeholder. That contents of MyFunction goes wherever you want the menu to appear.

I think I have a page on the AlliedMods wiki somewhere with a more complete example of how each part of a menu works.

Making menu's I found to be one of the hardest things to grasp in SourceMod. Thanks Powerlord!
