Personal menus

Collect frequently used settings in your own sections, such as Graphics, Duel and Sound. They control the same game settings as the factory menus. Factory pages remain intact, and game updates do not overwrite your personal sections.

Getting started

Open Settings → Menu settings and enable Edit My menus. Editing lasts until disabled or until the game exits; saved sections remain usable when editing is off.

Open a factory page. Click + beside a setting, or select the row and press Insert. Choose an existing personal section or create one, name it and confirm. Both individual settings and submenu links can be added.

Settings → My menus lists all sections. Continue editing there, or use the finish-editing button at the top right of any menu.

Sections, placement and categories

Open a personal section while editing. The management area below its contents provides renaming, placement, ordering and deletion. Russian names and labels are supported.

Choose a parent menu and the row before which the section link should appear, or leave it at the end. This gives direct access from the main menu or the relevant settings page.

A category is a shared heading for several sections. Create a category or reuse an existing one. Sections sharing a category also share its placement; selecting an existing category shows its current location rather than creating another heading elsewhere.

Reordering moves an entry within your section. Section deletion requires confirmation and removes its links; factory menus and the settings' values remain intact.

Adding through search

Use variable/command search when you do not know which factory page contains a setting. Search shares the Cvar Browser reference: English names, Russian descriptions and English names accidentally entered with the Russian keyboard layout are supported. Read the selected result's description before adding it.

For a variable, choose its label, control style, limits, step and application policy. An existing factory control is offered when available. Limits should follow the variable's help; a personal slider does not override engine restrictions. A command becomes an action rather than a value slider.

Apply value:

Auto follows the existing factory control when one is found. For example, gl_modulate changes lighting while the slider moves.
Immediately sends each changed value immediately.
On leaving applies the value when leaving the page.

A variable that requires a renderer or game restart still requires it; Immediately does not remove that requirement.

Using and storing your menus

With editing off, only your settings and links remain. Management controls and add buttons are hidden. Entries retain their hints and tooltips.

The layout is global and stored in baseq2/q2pro-x/personal_menus.dat; no per-mod copies are needed. Setting values follow their normal persistence rules. The personal layout file is excluded from game-update archives.
