About the Vortex design
Vortex is built from light. Instead of straight dividers, the slots are separated by spiral arms that curve toward the center, each trailing motion streaks so the wheel looks like it is turning. A dark field sits behind the arms, and particles float across it in a scattered pattern. In the middle, a containment core glows in the energy color, with the weapon name and attachment above the 3D center mark. When you select a weapon, its slot brightens with energy, pulled into the swirl. It is the most dynamic looking design in the sci-fi range, and it stays readable because the icons and counts sit in calm areas between the arms.
Matching it to the rest of your HUD
Vortex pairs with dark sci-fi and neon minimaps. Coolant, cyan on dark, matches a black map with cyan roads. Solar brings warm orange-gold for amber maps, Nebula uses purple and pink for synth or space themes, Venom is a toxic green for outbreak maps, and White hole is bright white for monochrome HUDs. Because Vortex already has so much motion, a flat minimap with no texture keeps the HUD balanced. Match the energy color to your map lines. Keep text white so it reads over the glow.

THE DOWNLOAD
What you receive
One zip, 4 files, built from the exact settings you leave the studio with.
- pityus_weaponwheel/stream/hud.gfx
- The wheel itself: the game HUD scaleform, rebuilt with your artwork and colours baked in.
- pityus_weaponwheel/stream/hud.ytd
- The texture dictionary the scaleform pulls its bitmaps from, at the same format and mip count as the stock file.
- pityus_weaponwheel/fxmanifest.lua
- A plain cerulean manifest. No framework dependency, no exports, nothing to configure.
- pityus_weaponwheel/README.txt
- The three install lines and your licence reference.
- pityus_weaponwheel/client.lua
- Only present if you pick the 3D tilt selection motion: a single thread that pushes the tilt settings into HUD component 19.
- pityus_weaponwheel/wheel.json
- The tilt numbers that thread reads, so you can nudge them later without a rebuild.
Installing it
- Copy the pityus_weaponwheel folder into your server's resources directory. Anywhere in resources works. It is a streaming resource, so load order against your framework does not matter.
- Add ensure pityus_weaponwheel to server.cfg. Put it with your other streaming resources. Nothing else in the config has to change.
- Restart the server. The new wheel is served from that moment on.
- Each player restarts the game client once. The game caches HUD scaleforms for the length of a session, so a reconnect is not enough: the client has to be closed and opened again.

QUESTIONS
Vortex weapon wheel FAQ
Does Vortex actually spin?
The spiral arms and motion streaks make it look like it is spinning, but the slots stay in fixed positions so players always know where each weapon is. Selection motion can be static, pop out or 3D tilt, set in the studio.
Can I tone down the particles?
Yes. Motion streaks, core light, particles and particle pattern are all adjustable. Fewer particles and softer streaks give a calmer wheel that sits more comfortably next to a detailed minimap. The core light can be lowered too if the center feels too bright.
Which palette suits a space themed server?
Nebula, with its purple and pink tones, fits space and synth themes. Pair it with a dark minimap with purple or magenta roads and the HUD looks like one cosmic interface. White hole is the alternative for a colder, starker look.
