New radial menu for tools - hotbar
I used to put the euthanasia gun and other tools on my hotbar so I could easily switch between them and other tools (single click, no need to divert close attention to the screen and mouse). Is there a way to add a tool to the hotbar with the new radial menu? Or at least have N recall the most recent tool rather than a seemingly random one. So far it looks like I have to go back to the radial menu each time I want to switch back to the euthanasia gun.

So to disable guns how do we write it in the .ini
1) Just as the list showed with spaces in the item name? ex - RadialToolBlacklist=Command Tool,Euthanasia Gun

2) No space in the item name? ex - RadialToolBlacklist=CommandTool,EuthanasiaGun

3) Or as most Ark item names are in the
.ini? ex - RadialToolBlacklist=Command_Tool,Euthanasia_Gun

I agree Old Man -- I have exactly the same issue. every time i want to repeat an action with one of the tools i have to go back that stupid radial and select the tool again - use it once then rinse and repeat every time. How is this better than the way it was before? Or am i just doing somthing wrong?

Same here, I always had the transfer gun in my hotbar, using it a lot (really a lot). When building I would also always add at least the demo gun in the hotbar, and sometimes even the light/transparency/model ones. When I build I often switch the tool many times in a row, the new menu is totally unpractical for this. An option to either bring back the guns or to have a way to assign them to the hotbar would be really welcome.

hello. tried the new tool gun radial menu. not for me so how do i delete it or get it out of inventory & hotkey ?:steamthumbsdown: was easy to use the transfer gun when it was in slot on hotbar.. this radial menu takes more keystrokes, has 10 or so tools i never use & don't want. how is this a good thing? i just need it gone...

If nothing else, PLEASE just take the Transfer Gun off the radial wheel :steamsad: and put it back to a craftable, slotable item. I depend on it way too much to have to scroll through the wheel every time, especially when I need to use it several times in a row (i.e. crystal crackers to grinder).

Same for me here that why i came to see if there is a solution.. I always have to open again radial menu, re-set source and transfert.... source isn't always close to me :s . It's annoying but i think it's not impossible to fix. I hope for a solution because for this old guns were better.

i have a gun in my hand, i check inventory... When i close inventory, I lose the gun and have to re-set last one used.

N should at least pull up the last gun you had, let you use it however many times, then tap N to put it away. Have to select something else to get rid of it. Need the old functionality back and just let servers choose how to use em

I have tried every which way but cannot get the radial menu to populate. I am ascended and think thats why. I have tried respawning, re installing, transferring servers, everything! please help!

after some sciencing we discovered that the new ss radial menu wont work if you have alpha ascension. Not sure why. You will not spawn with it though. We have tested this with multiple players on dead deli and other servers

Would be better if we could make the gun and slot it in our toolbar and then do some sort of option to change its mode after its in our hands, but this hold N radial option is horrible!

Yes please just make the tool equipable and then have the radial wheel a press while tool is equipped. This N key nonsense is not working. Need my tools on my hotbar pls.

Totally Agree with @Vvulf - The Radial wheel totally sucks, great concept but bad application. Everytime you want to reuse a tool you have to use wheel again and have to be careful not to rush it - I'm often doing stuff quickly and LOVE having the tool in a hotbar. Having a wheel to select a tool to stay in hotbar would work fine, or an administrator option to put the old tools in OR new current system to be able to choose the one they want to use would be amazing.

Not only that the "N" doesn't even work for me i have to plug in my controller to use the LB to access any of them, and i usually just put the gun away so a lot of muscle mem i have to relearn and its not any better :-/ Please please please i love SS and I liked it over the S+ simply bc of the not "all in one gun" this is worse then that. Sometimes simple is better and in the case of the guns its better to just be the original way

the same for me.
I have restored factory settings, I have uninstalled the mods and deleted their folders to reinstall, with the controller pressing LB I can open the radial menu and I have tried to change the hotkey without result, I have uninstalled the game by completely deleting it from the system and after returning it to install remains the same, without working N. please we need solutions
