Easy Menus

This plugin adds a basic main, options and pause menu to your godot project that is compatible with both keyboard and gamepad controls.

Intended Use

It's intended to be used during gamejams to save some time on menus. Menus are nice to have but most of the time not a priority at gamejames. So here we come to help. You can also use it in a regular project as a temporary or even final menu. Use it however you wish.

Features

• Keyboard and Gamepad support
• Various audio and video settings
• Autosaving and loading of settings (Data persistence)

Main Menu

Just connect your scene loading logic to the start_game_pressed signal of the main menu scene.

Options Menu

The options menu loads and persists the settings when opened/closed. The data is saved in the user://options.cfg (e.g. C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Godot\app_userdata\<Project>/options.cfg on Windows) file.

The Options menu offers following settings to be changed

• SFX Volume
• Music Volume
• Fullscreen mode
• VSync
• Render Scale for 3D Scenes
• Anti Aliasing 2D
• Anti Aliasing 3D

The menu emits a close signal when closed. With this architecture the parent node decides what to do when the options menu is closed.

Pause Menu

The pause menu is called via the open_pause_menu method. It pauses the game (sets get_tree().paused to true) and opens the menu.

The menu emits a resume signal when user closes the menu and sets get_tree().paused to false. You can also connect the back_to_main_pressed signal to a method that returns to your game's main menu

How to use

• Add the res://addons/MenuTemplates/Nodes/menu_templates_manager.tscn scene to the autoload of your project.
• For the Audio Sliders to work properly you need to create 2 Audio Buses one called SFX and the other called Music in your audio bus layout file
