Context Menu API

Context Menu API

An API mod for X4: Foundations that extends the modding surface beyond what SirNukes Mod Support APIs covers, targeting menus and context frame modes not exposed by that API. Currently it supports the Information panel context frames on Map screen, and the Personnel Management, Inventory, Spacesuit Upgrades, and Transaction Log context frames on Player Info screen.

Overview

The mod intercepts createContextFrame on the supported menus and fires a signal before the frame is built. Consumers respond synchronously (within the same MD tick / Lua call) by appending entries via the builder API.

Two integration paths exist, both with equivalent capabilities:

• []MD API - for Mission Director scripts. Uses Get_Actions / Add_Action cue signals.[/]

  []Lua API - for Lua UI scripts. Register a callback via cmAPI.registerLuaCallback(fn); the function returns a list of entry tables, which the API renders using the same pipeline as MD entries.[/]
