Still searching for that perfect picnic place, marines? Now you've got all the time in the world for your elaborate tactical plans!

This mod brings long awaited pause for the map. Two operating modes for you to chose from:
1. Opening the map pauses the game, closing the map removes the pause. You can pause and un-pause the game with a hotkey when in map view. (for bMapOnly=true - see below)
2. Allows to pause and un-pause the game with a hotkey at will. Opening the map always pauses the game. Closing the map never un-pauses the game if you paused it manually. (for bMapOnly=false - see below)

Requires r457 Mod Loader.

To install:

1. Install r457 Mod Loader if you don't have it installed already.

2. Unpack the 7z file you downloaded anywhere outside of the game's folders.

3. Copy all the three files you got after unpacking (r457MapPause.pak/ucas/utoc) into SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\AliensDarkDescent\ASF\Content\Paks.

4. Open SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\AliensDarkDescent\ASF\Config\UserEngine.ini with notepad.

5. Add +ModsToLoad="MapPause" line to [/Game/R457ModLoader/BP_R457ModActorSpawner.BP_R457ModActorSpawner_C] section.

6. Add this text to the bottom of the same file:
[/Game/R457Mods/MapPause/BP_MapPauseModActor.BP_MapPauseModActor_C]
bMapOnly=true

You can change bMapOnly to false if you want a manual pause outside of the map.

Save the ini and close it.

7. Inside SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\AliensDarkDescent\ASF\Config\ folder create a new file named UserInput.ini, open it with notepad and add this text to the beginning of the file:
[/Script/Engine.InputSettings]
Skip this step if you already have this file!

8. Add this line to [/Script/Engine.InputSettings] section of the UserInput.ini file:
+ActionMappings=(ActionName="ModPauseGame",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=F6)

9. Open %LOCALAPPDATA%\ASF\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Input.ini with notepad and if it's not empty (!!!) add this line to the end:
ActionMappings=(ActionName="ModPauseGame",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=F6)

10. Save the ini and close it.

Change Key=F6 to Key= any other key you prefer - see UE definition doc for keys.

To uninstall:
Remove +ModsToLoad="MapPause" from UserEngine.ini and delete all three mod files (r457MapPause.pak/ucas/utoc) from Paks.
