I couldn't close armory screen by pressing ESC anymore. I guess I'm kinda used to that. Also I found the lack of the when-you-speak-in-mic icon disturbing.

I removed mic icon intending to add it back but forgot to it should be easy to readd.
I guess the Esc armory bug is with my keybind mod loaded it didn't get as much work done on it as my menu

By the way, a bit of an annoying bug: When you use the "I need a medpack" voice command, or any other where you need to press a number key, it also switches weapons.

From some testing It seems the weapon input Move bits need tobe pulsed it an easy fix.
I initially was unable to install this mod on my 64 bit windows system due to the .bat file not correctly finding my install directory. (unsure why but I couldnt get the alternate install method to work either). However, I opened the .bat and, after I saw how it tried to determine my install location, I compared it to my registry and realized I had to make a change before it would work.
Originally the file read: <div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain' style='height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto'>"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Valve"</div> I had to change it to: <div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain' style='height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto'>"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Valve\Steam"</div>
Afterwards it worked perfectly
Additionally, I am getting a bug with the keybind mod where any attempt to change a key causes it to become bound to 'B'. It seems that when i double click to select the value it becomes selected extremely briefly and then binds to B. I found that it is possible for me to bind other keys but I need to press them down very fast before it is suddenly bound to B.
Outside of these small bugs though, it works great so keep up the good work!

It seems I forgot to change the registry path back after testing. i don't have a 64 bit windows to test it on. Your second problem has me perplexed unless you have some non standard keyboard/mouse. The next release should have some fixs to do with the keybind page but, I'm not sure it will fix your problem.
I don't know if this has been reported, fixed already or even if I am the only one with this issue but the key events while the chat are still read by the game. So it makes me move and ask for ammo and whatever when I type a message. It's particularly annoying when you hit the drop weapon key. This was not the case in build 180 I think, but is present since then.

It seems I broke something in my hook system when trying to fix another bug it had. This seems to have caused the chat movement bug. it should be fixed in the next version which i hope will be very soon

Is anybody able to run NS2 in a window (specifically, a 1280x720 window) with this mod installed? It changes resolution just fine, but it stays in fullscreen.

No errors in console after changing. Tried alternative resolutions to no avail. Hope there is a fix as this mod is almost a must have.
EDIT: It seems to work fine if the default menu is put in window mode first, then exiting the game, then using the mod. This boots into windowed mode fine then, but not once its in fullscreen.

This mod is great! So good to finally have a disconnect button and a menu that disappears when you press ESC... I also like the window-system, although you might change the layout a little bit. But its ok!
Please make your mod work in the upcoming build :D
I've got some problems installing the ServerQueryHelper mod... I've extracted the files to ns2/menumod/mods and also activated the mod in the mods menu, but no dialog pops up when I click on a server :/

I can't get the server info to come up either. Is it supposed to come up when I right click on a server? I've tried both installation methods and I have the C++ runtime.
Also, I'd like it if the selected server highlight was a little bit clearer. The dark blue can be a little difficult to see sometimes.

Is there anyway to get it working with the other install method? It's easier for me just to modify my launch options in steam and then run it directly from there rather than having to run the bat file every time.

Are there any errors in the console?
