This mod is intended to be a modder's resource.

Due to the limitations of the Radial Menu, we only have 6 menu slots available.
There's no free slot when a ship is in your squad. (However, there's 2 in the Orders menu.)
There's only 1 free menu slot when a ship is not in your squad.
There's 3 free menu slots if a ship is not owned by you. (Not that it matters much.)

This mod takes up that single remaining non-squad menu slot, and one slot each from the Orders menu and the not-owned menu.
It then displays all the menu items that has been registered to it, over multiple pages if necessary.
Choosing any of those menus (except the next/back) will lead to a unified "Relay" with the parameter that was registered with the menu item to identify which menu item was chosen.

All the modder has to do is register their menu items, catch the "Relay" with the right parameter, and lead it to their own menus from there.

2 extra cues, one for setup, another to handle the relay. Done. No, really.

I've included a "TemplateComm.txt" file that has the basic outline of everything needed to utilize this.
(It's in the MD folder.)


New in 1.1

Now expands the fifth slot in the Universe menu as well.

2 extra cues are needed here too.

"TemplateMain.txt" has the basic outline for utilizing the Universe menu.


v2.0 updated for XR 2.0.


v2.01 has some minor fixes for the "iterated list".
(You won't notice any difference unless you back out of menus a lot.)

There's only 1 free menu slot when a ship is not in your squad.

In XR 2.0 there's no free slot left for non squad ships.

BK Universal Menu System v2.0, updated for XR 2.0.

Universal Comm Menu has moved into the "advanced" orders for in-squad ships.
The "come back aboard" command that took over the last remaining slot for non-squad ships has been moved inside the non-squad Universal Comm Menu.
