Usage:

- Open Weapons Menu by pressing assigned Smart Selection Keys or Open/Close Menu key.

Some options take effect only after Options are closed.

Has unofficial support for:
- almost every possible weapon set. Probably not in multiplayer.
This is achieved by using Weapon Menu Autodetection System. When you load weapon set that is not officially supported by Weapon Menu, a message will appear with a suggestion to try Autodetection.
Spoiler: To autodetect weapons: (Open)
- Enter 'wm_auto' in console.
- Relax for 2 minutes and watch while the script cycles over all of the weapons in your weapon set. Do not do anything while script works, even if you think script does nothing. Doing something will mess up the results.
- When script is finished, it reloads the level, taking away all weapons except starting weapons, so it is wise to run it at the start of a new game.
- Then autodetected weapon set will be remembered until the new autodetection will be run, so you can play a megawad or a bunch of maps with the same weapon mod. Remembered weapon set will be also stored in a save. But if you autodetect one weapon set, save the game with it, then autodetect another weapon set and load first save with first weapon set, autodetection data will only last until new level is started. Then you will have to autodetect again and lose acquired weapons or play without the Menu.
- Autodetection system has the following limits:
- no more than 50 weapons in a weapon set.
- no more than 6 weapons in one slot.
- weapon names are made of weapon class names, so they may be rough.
- autodetection will detect all the weapons that are in a mod (within limits), even if they are unobtainable in a game. So it is recommended to use an option to hide not acquired weapons.
- autodetection script needs cheats to be enabled (freeze and give everything). So if your mod or difficulty setting forbids cheats, set sv_cheats to true and restart the level. After autodetection you can safely set sv_cheats back to false.
