@Tyrant, will try to look, but last time the code for this interaction eluded me. Maybe I figure it out, but can't really say 100%.

Works perfectly, thanks a ton! :D

Could you add an option for a border to come up when the game is paused via opening the main menu (i.e. the thing that comes up when you press the escape key)?

Hi, Cecil. The update is out 2.0.0.18 version allow to set the top offset for the border, so you can adjust it now in the mod options.

Let me check, should not be that hard to add.

Any chance of getting options to offset from certain sides? I use "UI Not Included" to add an additional panel on the top of the screen and the pause border is cut off by it.

Small fix pushed that fixes the 1.5 mod options that was broken with compatibility update for 1.6

@lRey, last update from (16.06.25) have Keyed settings strings so feel free translate them up to your likings.

@lRey have no idea at the moment how localization is works for those type of options. :)
Thank you for shouting out will take a look on this.

I love this mod because it is a very useful QoLMOD, but the text in the mod settings is hard coded and cannot be translated.

Could you please change the options so that they can be translated by the Languages folder in your spare time?

@Altumnus, you are welcome.

Thank you very much for sharing this helpful mod!

I had no idea I needed this until after I used it.

Thank you everyone for liking this :)

lets gooo the king is back! thank you so much :D

Updated for 1.5.

been playing the whole past 9 hours and i'm still on day one

the most important mod!

@Cat Man Dan.
No worries! All reports are useful. Thank you for spending time and recheck!

I also tested with only this mod, but I think my game must have been outdated or something. I just tried it now and no issues. Sorry for the false alarm!

@Cat Man Dan
Can you share some debug logs? or how to do you achieve this.
There is no black screen in my tests but I am only using this singular mod and nothing else.
Thank you for a reporting problem!

I did some tests and found that this mod was causing a black screen issue when starting the game.

Yea, I know those yellow warnings are insignificant, but I like having mods that are clean clean

@Araylie, from the look of warnings those should be harmless for now. Will definitely need to took some time and readup on new Rimworld warnings though.

ouch. Time to look and update. Thanks for shout will take a look in the next two days.

The mod was amazing, but now it shows yellow warnings...

I'll be keeping my eye on your progress if you decide to try anything new! I love making Rimworld uniquely my own. My colony. My mod list. My own custom touches and spin on things. That's what makes life unique. The ability for us to make things feel more personalized. I'll always have this mod in my playlist. It's 100% essential.

@Kyrox, custom textures. Newer thought about that. Should be interesting.
The only future feature I was somehow "planning" is to add pulsating animation to the border when it is paused. This should technically help more people. I would still need to dig through RimWorld to understand how to do this properly, though.

I love this mod! Is there any plans for the future to perhaps add textures? Or allow us to place our own textures for a new border? For examples, adding a textures that's flames. Or barbed wire.

Just pushed update that should remove overlap defects in texture.
I really don't like when they appear and it looks like I was able to finally find why they appear.
(It was due to UI scaling).

@muhanga thank you so much! you are an angel and an inspiration to all of us who get confused about if the game is still running or paused! seriously can't thank you enough for this :D

@Hawler, just pushed update for 1.4. Functionality is working now. There is very minor cosmetic change in how 1.4 display gradients, will take a look later on how to 'fix' it.
Thank you for bringing my attention that this is not working as it should.

It's so weird not having this in 1.4, it's such a minor change that makes such a major difference, why is this not in the base game?
Anyway thanks for creating this mod, I only realised how much I loved it and took it for granted as it was snatched away out of my shaking hands :')

Updated for 1.3 compatibility.

@Анатолий, thank you for the kind words. This mod was created to help people to enjoy rimworld more and I am very happy that it succeed in that.

l really like your work!
Please do keep at it
hope my comments
make you happy

@test, currently, it only draws overlay when pause is on, so when game is running there is no overlay textures are present.
Here it is checking if we are in pause and create a textures only then:
https://github.com/aardvark/BorderOnPause/blob/master/Source/Core.cs#L32

i know that overlays are very slow due to the way rimworld itself is coded but that doesn't really matter during pause, does it not draw the overlay when unpaused or does it just make it transparent?

@test, this mod add overlay border when pause is on. Overlay is done by adding a transparent texture above word level. So answer to you question is both.
Not sure if I can clarify this more. Please let me know if you have additional questions about this.

is it just a texture mod or does it add an overlay

>Works great in multiplayer games for less accidentally un-pausing after someone else paused!
That's why I'm here. Thanks for making this @muhanga!

@ubergarm, glad that you enjoy the mod. This actually makes a happy person , +10 mood.

Works great in multiplayer games for less accidentally un-pausing after someone else paused!

Updated mod for 1.2 version.
No functional changes just a compatibility update to new RimWorld binaries.

reminds me of spore dood

Just checked out - works well. Thanks again, great mod and support.

Fixed hiding of borders when screenshot mode is active.
Thanks goes to the arch4n631 for reporting this one.

Nice mod, fully adjustable. Thanks.
P. S. From my testing, I noticed it doesn't hide border at screenshot mode (F11), if you can fix this, it would be perfect.

Mod updated to the latest RimWorld version (which is 1.1.2562 at this moment).
Mod is now depends on Harmony mod for Harmony mod distribution.
Harmony mod should be installed through workshop manually for 1.1+ to work normally.
1.0 version is still bundled with 1.2.0.1 Harmony version.

This funny carousel should remove any additional mod conflicts for now.
Thank you all for support.

Found incompatibility with "Simple Search Bar".
Problem were in Harmony versions.
Mod updated.

If you facing similar problems, conflicts with other mods after update or something else, please feel free to contact me.

Looking on possible conflict issue with "Simple Search Bar".

In theory this mod shouldn't conflict with anything as there is no XML patching involved.
If you have any additional logs or information please feel free to put them here or in discussions.
