Hi all,

Just for fun I have prepared a branch in my OpenMW fork on github which disables pause in menu (inventory and main menu at least).

After playing I think this change is for gamers who like hardcore as much as possible.

Now you cannot calmly drink potions or select appreciate spell -- you will not have a time for such things during fight (or maybe during rest)!
If you are interested -- merge https://github.com/thegriglat/openmw/tr ... top_in_gui into your OpenMW source, build and enjoy.

P.S.: please use it "AS IS". I don't tested compatibility with Morrowind scripts but only rendering and menu should be affected.

Sounds like the perfect use for keyboard shortcuts...

Inventory not pausing sounds OK, but main menu?

Hi Sslaxx,

Unfortunately main menu is also "live".

That's... actually pretty cool...

Should be easy to fix:
1. Do not touch the "paused" variable in the engine.cpp.
2. Do not touch the renderingmanager.cpp.
3. Remove the "guiActive" variable an use the "paused" instead.

Note: it is unclear how the MenuMode console command should behave now.

Thanks! I will try!

Hi all,

Thanks a lot akortunov for help, the code has been fixed and now in main menu time is stopped (but all visual effect are "frozen" which is very beauty ).

At 0.46, it does not work properly - NPCs move in place.
