Features
- Display custom PNG images on either side of the pause menu
- Smooth slide-up animation when pause menu appears (toggleable)
- Fully customizable position and size via in-game settings

- Works with any screen resolution
Installation

Configuration
All settings can be adjusted in-game via Risk of Options mod settings menu:
General Settings
- Slide up with Pause - Enable/disable the smooth slide-up animation (default: ON)
Left Image Settings
- Position X - Horizontal position (negative = more left, positive = more right)
- Position Y - Vertical position (negative = more down, positive = more up)
- Width - Image width in pixels (10-2000)
- Height - Image height in pixels (10-2000)
Right Image Settings
- Position X - Horizontal position (negative = more left, positive = more right)
- Position Y - Vertical position (negative = more down, positive = more up)
- Width - Image width in pixels (10-2000)
- Height - Image height in pixels (10-2000)
How to Use Your Own Images
- Create or find two PNG images you want to use (one for left, one for right)
- Recommended base resolution: 800x1080 or similar vertical images
- Navigate to AppData/Roaming/r2modmanPlus-local/RiskOfRain2/profiles/DesiredProfile/BepInEx/plugins/PauseMenuImages/
- Replace left_image.png and right_image.png with your own images
- Keep the exact filenames: left_image.png and right_image.png
- Launch the game and adjust position/size in Risk of Options settings to fit your screen perfectly!
Tips
- Transparent backgrounds work great and look professional
- Vertical images (taller than wide) work best
- Use the in-game sliders to fine-tune position and size for your screen resolution
- PNG format is required (use GIMP, Photoshop, or any image editor)
- The animation is subtle - disable it in settings if you prefer instant appearance
- Test different width/height values to make images fit your aesthetic
Notes
- Placeholder images are included as examples
- Images automatically respect your screen's UI scaling
- Click-through is enabled so transparent areas won't block menu interaction
- Images only show on the main pause screen, not in submenus
- Changes to settings take effect the next time you pause
- Requires Risk of Options mod for in-game configuration
Recommended Image Tools
- GIMP - Free, powerful image editor (what the creator uses!)
- Photoshop - Professional option
- Paint.NET - Simple and lightweight
Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.
Dependencies
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
