New menu elements

[sherif181]

Is there a general strategy to extend the current menu with new items (for example a new advanced settings under settings) ?

It seems (correct me if im wrong) that the menu is edited using GUIEdit, but I was not able to find any gui files in the source code. That would mean that the menu structure is stored among the game files.

That would mean that a new menu entry needs to be either

1. somehow copied with the exe file after compilation into the game files
2. stored as a GUIEdit file inside a header file (or somewhere) and compiled into the exe
3. generated programmatically

What would be the best approach to do this ?
