try find a way to add mod support

I thought it did not work also HOWEVER I started a new game made sure ALL mods were on (-) then start the game with addons! that is what I missed works flawlessly

WORKS WELL THANK YOU SO MUCH also people who cant get it to work you need to have a weapon out the grab your left shoulder

does not work

I tried for ages to open the menu, but to no avail. At some point I started a new game from Chapter 2 "with addons" and hey presto, it worked immediately.

I've since found this in another mod:
"NOTE: The HL:A campaign has a known issue where playing from the first chapter disables addons, so start a new game from Chapter 2 onward."

So the problem isn't the mod, but a bug in the game itself when you start a game from the beginning.

if you wondered why this is not working and you are on oculus you actually have to enable the mods. make sure the symbols next to the mod are - that means they are on. to be honest i didn't know this at first so i was a idiot.

for people who were wondering how to open the menu most of the time its not where your ear is. For me it was my camera on the side or around the headset try that out and hopefully it come up \('-')/

gordons crowbar and stunstick spawnables would be pretty sicko mode

is this useable for novr?

one step closer to gmod vr

@Krotter If you're not planning on constantly updating this/adding support for more addons anymore,

could you provide a way for others to add stuff to the menu themselves?

I know this is probably dead by now but if u ever come back to alyx modding you should make a custom hl2 smg to replace the pulse smg

you dont have Scalable support on, I disabled that and it didnt work

It functions after trying a different method, the description is misleading as the menu only opens from:
1. Bring Hand to controller (NOT touching anything or making a gesture)
2. Click the trigger ONCE (Do NOT hold)
then it works, if you hold the trigger or especially if doing so before raising your hand like it says in the description to-then it wont open at least for me

if anyone is trying to open the menu but can't; it only worked for me after i finished the game once.
to use mods I guess it's somewhat similar to a new game plus-type thing

tried awhile and have had no success in opening it, tried multiple different maps-uninstalled/reinstalled the addon and the dependency; plus tried every position around my head that I could and still nothing even close to luck with it unfortunately; is there truly no way to re-bind it or anything?

That should be just a visual bug, if you turn it on it will stay on.

sv_cheats turns off as soon as i close the menu, help pls

can you spawn a ragdoll female npc with this? asking for a friend.. :)

this guy doesnt get it V

probably the most complicated way ive ever seen to open a menu

how to you open the spawn menu?

It's not working together with ''unpin ragdolls'' mod please fix! even using scalable init support

i'm goofy i forgot enable mod

dont working

This is a really good mod. Its easy to use and fun to mess around with especially the cheats.

If its not working put pointer finger behind your ear

the thing is tho there is no strider spawn

huh i worked for me great without any need to restart it

ligit best sandbox mod

im doing what its telling me in the description but it dosent work

any idea why this might conflict with gunmancombatoverhaul?thats just a cfg but it seems to cancel this utility tool no matter the load order

can you make the strider in the menu?

YOU KNOW WHAT? I GOT IT TO WORK.

here are some steps that got me to be able to open and use the menu.

Step 1. Download (Spawn/Utility Menu)

Step 2. Download (Scalable Init Support) (Download order does not matter)

Step 3. Open Half-Life Alyx and enable the mods above (Mods are disabled by default)

Step 4. Pre-Existing playthoughs cannot play addons, you have to start a new game and Start
game with addons enabled, and to clarify this doesn't mean just enable mods and start a
new game but under the start game button when creating a new game there is literally a
button that says (start game with addons enabled)


If this doesnt help re-download the mods on step 1 and 2 or restart the game, preferably both if needed to.

So I've fallow every command to open the menu and it never opens, not even for a couple of seconds. I've tried restarting half life alyx and restarting the chapter and to no avail. Is there a command I need to put in before using? or does it not work in story mode?

And I'ma be honest, why would you make the action to opening the menu the same action for retrieving items on your back.

but awesome work on the menu its handy

no the combine Consul you see around the map i was just wondering if you can add a spawnable so we can place one in the map like the puzzle interfaces like how you added the fabricater

and awesome job on the menu

Do you mean adding extensions/new options to the menu through other addons?

is this meant to be used with the sandbx addon? or do they conflict?

Walking about 5 meters away from it should close it automatically.

quick question how do you close the menu if its inside a wall?

this is cool

Can you disable NPC AI?

could you make the improved crowbar mod crowbar spawnable?

Spawning doesn't need sv_cheats, it's not enabled automatically.

If for example, i use this mod and spawn a bunch of ammo will this disable them? Or does it spawn them without turning sv_cheats on.

Enabling sv_cheats may disable them.

does this disable achivements?

awesome work love this mod
