Files
Everything lives under BepInEx/config/ & BepInEx/config/CustomMainMenu/, not next to the DLL. The plugin creates the folders on first run if they are missing.
| File | What it does |
|---|---|
logo.png |
Start-menu title logo. Also accepts .jpg / .jpeg. |
discordlogo.png |
Image on the Discord panel. Also accepts .jpg / .jpeg. |
mainmenu.ogg |
Looping menu music. OGG Vorbis only. |
changelog.txt |
Text shown in the changelog panel. Edits apply live; no restart. Leave it empty to hide the panel (when custom text is on). |
LoadingArt/art1 to art12 |
Loading screen art. Use any subset. PNG, JPG, or JPEG. One existing file is picked at random each world load. |
Important: Replace these files before you ship your pack. Also make sure CFG has the right options for your modpack/server and also has correct discord invite URL. Also replace the placeholder test text in changelog.txt found in config\CustomMainMenu to ensure your custom text is present in changelog. Config and assets survive a plugin update.
Config
BepInEx/config/rdmods.custommainmenu.cfg
The Discord panel title and button label are fixed in the plugin. The invite URL is not.
