Settings + Menus

Free, polished main menu / pause / options / credits template for Godot 4.3+. Persistent settings, audio buses, resolution + window mode, key rebinding, accessibility (font scale, colorblind filter, reduce motion).

Fully standalone and complete — no paid tier, no locked features. It pairs cleanly with the other CindieForge RPG systems if you use them, but never requires them.

5-minute install

1. Copy addons/settings_menus/ into your project's addons/ folder.
2. Project → Project Settings → Plugins → enable Settings + Menus.
3. Set your main scene to a script that instantiates MainMenuUI (or use a packed scene with one as the root — see demo/main_menu_scene.tscn).
4. Set play_scene_path to your gameplay scene.
5. Drop a PauseMenuUI into your gameplay scene root.
6. Press Play.

See docs/quick-start.md for the worked example.

Features

• MainMenuUI — Play / Options / Credits / Quit; configurable scene path.
• PauseMenuUI — listens for the pause action; pauses the tree; Resume / Options / Main Menu / Quit.
• OptionsMenuUI — tabbed: Audio (master / music / sfx buses), Display (window mode + resolution + vsync + fps counter), Controls (one-click key rebind for any project action), Accessibility (font scale, colorblind filter, reduce motion).
• CreditsUI — scrolling credits authored as a single multiline string with # headings.
• KeyRebindRow — drop-in row for one rebindable action. Used by the Controls tab; reusable in your own UIs.
• MenuTheme Resource — recolor every menu in one swap. Brand title + subtitle + background.
• Settings autoload — settings dict with get_value / set_value / reset_to_defaults, persistence (uses Save addon if installed, falls back to user://settings.json).
• Key rebinding persisted as serialized events. Keyboard / mouse buttons / joypad buttons supported.
