The custom pause menu script which was created by @Kratus himself, works wonders! It really works for my Street Fighter project and any other mod. However, it doesn't display itself in my Rhythm of Destruction mod. Despite using the same code from both the template and my SF project, it doesn't show in ROD.
This is my update.c for ROD.
I don't understand why it's not working at all.
Another issue I have is that I'm trying to include a certain model as a music option or something else. And I have to press anybutton and then escape button, to look at the music menu. Sometimes, I press "anybutton", "start", and then "escape", just to look at it too. I removed playgif and (excluded) setglobalvar("menuPause", 0) from the 3rd option, so I could input the music menu as an option in the pause menu.
Here is the invisible music entity as a list of music selection.
update.c:
I don't like when I have to press any button on a different option, and then the escape button after. I want to press any button on that particular option like I do to any option in the pause menu. How can I achieve pressing any button effortlessly without requiring button combinations? The music menu is a text type entity.

I made this (not boring, really) video which I struggled to access the select music option. I had to press start and go back to it for displaying the menu. But it was a text type entity that showed the song names in the list. This was before I started to change to a new pause menu for better access.
This step-by-step process is really helpful.
