Pause Menu Utilities

Mod ID : 1430749

Pause Menu Utilities adds a utility panel to the in-game Pause Menu that lets servers and players apply console command presets and personal settings without manual command entry. Server owners can define shared presets and display a custom server logo, while players can keep their own local configurations.

WARNING : THIS MOD ONLY WORK ON SERVER OR SELF HOSTED CLIENT. (Will never work in Singleplayer.)

The mod include one utility panel that opens with the in-game Pause Menu, allowing server owners to create custom menu-based INI options.

The mod provides EasyINI and HardINI options, both configurable separately for PC and console players to prevent known console crash issues caused by certain commands. There is no ResetINI option, as many INI settings cannot be safely reverted, it is better for players to restart the game to fully clear applied options. Players can also create and modify their own personal INI settings from the menu instead of using server-defined ones.

INI options also include a Discord link button that redirects players to the server’s Discord, and a Brand URL option that displays the server logo in the menu and on the bottom left of the player’s screen. With that also contain QR Code Link for PS5 users who cannot use browser from the discord link.

The menu is fully tested and optimized for both console and PC usage.

INI Configuration below contain example of settings and how to implement them in the INI Options.
