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

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 \('-')/

@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
Paladin Aug 31, 2023 @ 12:01am 
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
KickingPanda773 Aug 27, 2023 @ 11:02am 
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
Garchslinger with Soup Aug 23, 2023 @ 2:47am 
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?
Krotter  [author] Jul 30, 2023 @ 1:36pm 
That should be just a visual bug, if you turn it on it will stay on.
shade101 Jul 30, 2023 @ 1:33pm 
sv_cheats turns off as soon as i close the menu, help pls
Baba Booey Jul 13, 2023 @ 2:00pm

Oshul Jul 4, 2023 @ 11:34am

matt gaming Jun 20, 2023 @ 3:37pm

Chapo Jun 4, 2023 @ 8:57am

Дилька May 27, 2023 @ 12:27pm

Chalo Apr 29, 2023 @ 6:49pm 
This is a really good mod. Its easy to use and fun to mess around with especially the cheats.
masonhunt12341 Apr 29, 2023 @ 5:20pm 
If its not working put pointer finger behind your ear
Mrbob Apr 4, 2023 @ 1:53pm

Skyblade Mar 21, 2023 @ 6:29am

Mkat11 Feb 28, 2023 @ 2:33pm 
im doing what its telling me in the description but it dosent work
cazanu Feb 10, 2023 @ 7:48pm 
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
Mrbob Feb 5, 2023 @ 3:56am 
can you make the strider in the menu?
Dinner-Time Feb 3, 2023 @ 12:36am 
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.
Dinner-Time Feb 2, 2023 @ 11:52pm 
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.
crocy crocodile Jan 26, 2023 @ 7:51am 
but awesome work on the menu its handy
crocy crocodile Jan 23, 2023 @ 6:09am 
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
crocy crocodile Jan 23, 2023 @ 6:04am 
and awesome job on the menu
Krotter  [author] Jan 23, 2023 @ 6:04am 
Do you mean adding extensions/new options to the menu through other addons?
leevee Jan 14, 2023 @ 1:59am 
is this meant to be used with the sandbx addon? or do they conflict?
Krotter  [author] Dec 26, 2022 @ 6:45am 
Walking about 5 meters away from it should close it automatically.
wleywonka Dec 26, 2022 @ 6:26am 
quick question how do you close the menu if its inside a wall?
Bordie3D Dec 18, 2022 @ 9:18pm 
this is cool
Nathan Dec 14, 2022 @ 7:53pm 
Can you disable NPC AI?
<width=1>PackMan09 Dec 4, 2022 @ 3:35pm 
could you make the improved crowbar mod crowbar spawnable?
Krotter  [author] Nov 30, 2022 @ 11:12am 
Spawning doesn't need sv_cheats, it's not enabled automatically.
Malevelon Creek Veteran Nov 30, 2022 @ 11:07am 
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.
Krotter  [author] Nov 30, 2022 @ 10:59am 
Enabling sv_cheats may disable them.
Malevelon Creek Veteran Nov 30, 2022 @ 9:43am 
does this disable achivements?
crocy crocodile Nov 29, 2022 @ 6:09am
