How do I make a custom options menu?

[Gianluco]

I'm trying to make a section of the options menu where I can easily set the values of some custom CVars. I've tried reading the wiki, but I can't quite wrap my head around it. How do I do it exactly? I'm on Zandronum, if it helps.

For an example of a custom menu see RUSSIAN_OVERKILL 3.0e

Menudef and write anything you want.

AddOptionMenu

An OptionMenu whose contents are added to an existing OptionMenu.

 

 

 

example:

AddOptionMenu "OptionsMenu" {	
	StaticText "$M_soaOptions"
	
	//StaticText ""
	Command ">> Český jazyk <<", "language csy"
	Command ">> English language <<", "language enu"
	Submenu "$M_u2poptions", "UseToPickupOptions"
	Submenu "$M_tiltplusoptions", "TiltPlusPlusMenu"
	Submenu "$M_flashlightoptions", "FlashlightOptions"
	Submenu "$M_targetspy", "m8f_ts_Options"
	Submenu "$M_hellscapenavigatoroptions", "hn_Options"
	Submenu "$M_swayMenu", "WSOptions"
	Submenu "$M_footstepsoptions", "FootstepOptions"
	//StaticText ""
	Option "lowDetail shader", "gl_lowdetail", "YesNo"
	Option "CRT shader", "cl_crtshader", "YesNo"
	OPtion "Survival", "soa_survival", "YesNo"

	//Submenu "$Blood_Options", "BloodOptions"
	//Submenu "SoA DEBUG menu", "soa_debugMenu"
}

AddOptionMenu doesn't work in Zandronum. If I put OptionMenu instead, the setting works, but it's the only one that appears

Well, in this case you uave to either start using gzdoom, or completely manually redefine optiknmenu with your added option...or make a separate menu for your optijns.

How do I do the latter?

Please, pay some time for studying menudef, you'll find out. There are even examples on the wiki...
