Tutorial: Modify your HL2DM Menu

1) Download GCFscape Here
2) Launch GCFscape and browse to Half-Life 2 Deathmatch.gcf/hl2mp/resources
3) find the file name GameMenu.res
4) Drag-drop it to your desktop
5) Close off all windows, apps, DM, etc.
6) Open GameMenu.res using note/wordpad
7) this is how my GameMenu.res looks (modify as you want):

Code:

"GameMenu"
{
   "1"
   {
      "label" "GO_BACK"
      "command" "ResumeGame"
      "OnlyInGame" "1"
   }
   "2"
   {
      "label" "LEAVE"
      "command" "Disconnect"
      "OnlyInGame" "1"
   }
   "3"
   {
      "label" "PlayerList"
      "command" "OpenPlayerListDialog"
      "OnlyInGame" "1"
   }
   "4"
   {
      "label" ""
      "command" ""
      "OnlyInGame" "1"
   }
   "5"
   {
      "label" "FIND_SERVERS"
      "command" "OpenServerBrowser"
   }
   "6"
   {
      "label" "LISTEN"
      "command" "OpenCreateMultiplayerGameDialog"
   }
   "7"
   {
      "label" "MATES"
      "command" "OpenFriendsDialog"
   }
   "10"
   {
      "label" "MENU"
      "command" "OpenOptionsDialog"
   }
   "11"
   {
      "label" "QUTI"
      "command" "quti"
   }
}

(NOTE: this website automatically changes the word Q U I T to Q U T I so make sure to read the last "command" correctly. it is NOT Q U T I but Q U I T !!!)

Njoy

There is moar!

Add the following to the bottom for 1 click join of your absolute favorite servers.
#10 is a blank space so you dont accidently press the quti button.
You can add them to the top but it means have to change the numbers form top to bottom.

      "label" ""
      "command" ""
   }
   "11"
   {
      "label" "JOIN Arena night"
      "command" "engine connect ipaddress:27015; password ifany"

is there a way to show a special option only in the menu, but not in game anymore?
like "OnlyInGame" "1" but the exact opposite, like "OnlyInGameMenu" "1".
i tried alot of stuff, but it never worked, maybe you can help me.
thanks for any help

or maybe there's another way to achieve this:

here it looks as i want it to look with "quti" on the very bottom of the menu, but ingame there are 5 more lines added and it looks like this:

I actually looked at this a long time ago, as a way to exec all my sv_cheats 1 scripts in menu's etc.
I didnt spend much time on it but in the end i didnt end up doing that, i merely added one of my bigger scripts to the menu plus disable and remove.
I am slightly curious though if its possible to say have a menu with options, u click one option and it brings up a bunch of other options ie submenu.
But meh, cant be fucked figuring it out.
