Hello everyone!

I need some help creating a complete custom main menu for my Half-Life: Decay port (Based on Yet another PS2 Half-Life PC port).
Source code can be found here: https://github.com/piper742/ya-ps2hl-dll-updated (I am aware that the documentationa needs some updates)

I need a simular looking main menu as in the original ps2hl (PS2HL menu is mainly sprite based), so far I havent managed to come up with a solution,
so here is what I dont want to use (but will try if it really becomes necesarry):
  • Cry of fear method (using a custom hud element as a menu, bc it requires loading map)
  • Using Xash3d (that itself gives you a quite similar main menu)
It would be good to have the a solution that can:
1) run in goldsrc
2) doesnt require map loading (or to be loaded)

I have no experience modifiing the main menu (besides changes in the resources folder).
I know this would require some big changes in the dll file or potentially some workaround, but I just want to get a good looking PS2HL menu.
If such thing is impossible in goldsrc (without loading a map), then feel free to call me stupid. Thanks in advance! (Sorry for bad english in some places)

EDIT: PS2HL menu is basically WON menu with a bit more customized buttons (forgot to mention this)
