combo_tracker

A Warhammer 40K: Darktide mod that adds a widget keeping track of your melee combo.

Darktide Mod Framework

This mod utilizes DMF, a monkey patching framework for Darktide's Autodesk Stringray engine, and is structured accordingly - a .mod file, 3 standard .lua files, a .lua file containing a table of weapon action trees, a 3-file HudElementCombo class definition and a set of .lua files defining relations between each melee weapon's relevant actions:

• combo_tracker.lua - main logic of the modification.

• combo_tracker_data.lua - in-game configurable variables used in the logic.

• combo_tracker_localization.lua - localization strings used in UI.

• combo_tracker_patterns.lua - table of action trees for every melee weapon.

• hud_element_combo_settings.lua - HUD constants

• hud_element_combo_definitions.lua - scenegraph and widget definitions

• hud_element_combo.lua - widget functions

• combo_tracker_{weapon_name}.lua files - tables of relevant actions and their dependencies for each weapon

Make sure you are familiar with the DMF mod installation procedure before attempting to install or modify this repository.

Concept

This highly customizable mod adds a melee weapon combo pattern widget to your HUD. It is updated in real time and accounts for special actions, such as blocking, pushing, push follow-ups etc.

Usage

Upon installing this mod, you are ready to go. This mod keeps track of your melee combo and displays your whole weapon attack pattern, the sweep you're committing and potential next sweeps, accordingly to the preferences you set inside DMF's mod settings:

By default, the widget is located above your crosshair:

You can configure the widget's color, position, fade in/out speed and visibility outside the Psykhanium to your liking.

Thanks to Zombine, Redbeardt and others for their input into the Darktide modding community. Their work helped me a lot in the process of creating this mod. The Emperor protects.
