Rookspire Menus is a complete, ready-to-ship menu system for single-player Unreal Engine games, built 100% in Blueprint. Main menu, pause, 72 options, key rebinding, save and load with pictures, credits and a loading screen, in one consistent Nordic style.

Set one Game Instance, add two widgets, and your game has menus that look finished.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

• Main menu: Continue, New game, Load game, Options, Credits, Quit

• Pause menu: shows the location, time played and last save

• Options: 72 settings on six pages, driven by one Data Table

• Key rebinding: conflicts are detected and swapped in one press

• Save and load: player slots and auto-saves, each with a picture, location, play time and date

• Credits and loading screen: editable credits, player-facing level names and tips

• Playable demo: a winter-night main menu and a small level to walk, jump, sprint and crouch in

OPTIONS AT A GLANCE

• Video (25): window mode, resolution, frame rate limit, VSync, brightness, HDR, anti-aliasing, quality presets with nine scalability groups, post effects, benchmark

• Audio (8): six volume channels, output device, test sound

• Controls (14): mouse sensitivity, invert look, vibration, key rebinding, hold or toggle for sprint and crouch

• Gameplay (10): difficulty, field of view, HUD, crosshair, subtitles, tutorial hints, auto-save

• Accessibility (8): colour-blind modes, text size, high contrast, reduce screen shake, motion and flashing

• System (7): language, performance overlay, low-performance settings, 12/24-hour clock, reset all

Every option shows a description, its performance impact, its default and when it takes effect. Display changes revert after 10 seconds unless kept.

BUILT FOR DEVELOPERS

• Data-driven: add a row to the Data Table and the option appears on its page

• Save any actor: add one interface (BPI_SaveParticipant), with no central list to maintain

• Safe saves: the previous file is backed up, overlapping saves are blocked, and saves from a newer version are rejected rather than misread

• Ready-made hooks: GetSetting and OnSettingChanged, mouse look, field of view, difficulty, subtitles, hold or toggle

• Any screen: scales to 16:9, 16:10, 4:3 and 21:9

QUICK START

1. Set GI_RookspireMenus as the Game Instance (Project Settings, Maps & Modes)

2. Show WBP_FrostMainMenu in your menu level and WBP_FrostPause from your pause key

3. Call ApplyPendingSave on BeginPlay of each playable level
