pausemenu13.lua: A pause menu for all 1.3/old episodes that don't have a custom pause menu! (v2.1)

[SpencerlyEverly]

I have been upset that the vanilla pause menu can potentially corrupt saves when exiting to the broken launcher, or even the broken launcher corrupting saves period. So I decided to make a new pause menu compatible for all episodes.

I haven't released it until now, so here we are...

pausemenu13, a.k.a. Pause Menu 1.3

Old Version (v1.1.1):

Spoiler: show

New version (v2.0):

This can be replaceable for all episodes. Simply add the folder and .lua files on any 1.3 episode and you're good to go!

This library even disables the disabling of cheating. So you can cheat all you want and still save your progress!

Download it here (v2.1).

All versions

Enjoy!

(v1.1.1 and below's code was based off the Mario Challenge pause menu originally by the SMBX2 Team, v2.0 and above was rewritten from scratch)

v1.1 released! The new version should now properly cancel the original pause menu on the map. Please redownload to have a more stable installation.

v1.1.1 released! This should fix a bug where you can pause while dying. Please redownload to have a more stable installation.

v2.0.0 released! Major changes include the following:

- The entire library was rewritten.
- The pause menu look and feel is more accurate to SMBX 1.3!
- An exit to map option can be enabled/disabled! Along with a text change boolean if it's not a map and rather a Hub instead
- More customizability! Such as custom SFXs, font, cursor, and other stuff

If upgrading from pausemenu13.lua v1.1.1 or below, make SURE to change anything related to disabling the pause menu to:
pausemenu13.enabled = false

Thanks for this! It would be very annoying to lose saves due to corruption... Is there any clue for why that happens, anyway?

1 year ago, I have released this script to the masses. Now that we've passed a year since then, v2.1 has officially released!

- We now added the ability to add menu items to the menu. Removing menu items won't be added yet due to how the system is atm.
- The hasCheated player boolean can be toggled on pausemenu13.
- Other fixes and stability updates
