QUIP - Quick Use Inventory Panel

QUIP - Quick Use Inventory Panel

A grid-based quick select menu for weapons, aid items, and armour that works with both keyboard/mouse and controller.

What It Does

QUIP lets you access your inventory during combat without pausing. Press a hotkey to bring up a menu showing your weapons or consumables, navigate to what you need, and use it. The menu slows down time but doesn't freeze it completely - you're still vulnerable while browsing, creating genuine tension when you're fumbling for a Stimpak mid-firefight.

Hotkey 1 - weapons

Hotkey 3 - consumables

Hotkey 4 - armour

EDIT: Now these are fully reassignable with controller/keyboard which should ensure full compatibility with B42 Holstering

Weapon Menu

Items are organised into categories based on weapon type - melee, guns, energy weapons, explosives, thrown weapons.

Switch between categories horizontally with smooth animated transitions, scroll through items vertically within each category.

The categorisation is entirely automatic, using the game's own weapon type system. This means modded weapons slot into existing categories without any patches or manual configuration.

Each weapon displays its condition as a colour-coded health bar, shows equipped weapon mods, and highlights whether it's currently equipped. The selection pulses gently to show what you're hovering over, of course with configurable animation speed!

Aid Menu

Shows consumable items that are actually consumed when selected. This uses a custom NVSE plugin (UseAidItem.dll) that properly triggers all vanilla consumption behaviour - addiction checks run, item scripts execute, irradiated food applies rads, skill magazines give temporary bonuses, and everything works exactly as if you'd used it from the Pip-Boy. All mod-added consumables work automatically because the plugin hooks into the game's native consumption system rather than reimplementing it.

Optional filters let you hide food, drinks, books, and miscellaneous items so only medicine and chems appear. Particularly useful when you need that emergency Med-X and don't want to scroll past 40 Sunset Sarsaparillas to find it.

Side note: I have grabbed a few opcodes for future mods but will probably expose this function in a future bundled DLL, or add it to showoff/jg if the maintainers accept it. For now I wanted a quick release so it is in here.

Armour Menu

Quick access to all armour and clothing. Shows what's currently equipped with visual indicators. Equip, unequip, or drop items directly from the menu. Handy for switching between faction disguises or swapping armour sets without opening the full inventory.

Since armour doesn't really have categories, this menu is just ALL/Bodywear/H
