I’m checking what FancyMenu can do for a vertical main menu setup and whether the button text can be rotated too 🙂

#

Got the key bit: FancyMenu can do the layout, but for clickable buttons the safest way is to use custom button textures with the text already drawn vertically 🙂

#

Yep, that kind of main menu is possible in FancyMenu 😄

For the vertical buttons:

  • Making the buttons tall/narrow: yes, you can resize them into vertical shapes.
  • Making the text vertical: not by resizing alone. The default button label stays horizontal.

The best way is:

  1. Create a custom button texture in an image editor.
  2. Draw the word vertically in the texture itself, like:
    • Empire for Multiplayer
    • Lonely for Singleplayer
    • Death for Quit Game
  3. Use that texture as the button background in FancyMenu.
  4. Hide/leave empty the normal button text, since the texture already contains it.

That way the button stays clickable and the text looks exactly how you want it.

A second option is to use a separate text/image element for the vertical word and put a transparent button on top, but the texture method is usually the cleanest and easiest 👍

So in short: yes, the layout is doable, but the vertical text should be part of the texture or a separate overlay, not just resized text.

If you want, I can help you set up the exact FancyMenu element layout for this screen step by step 🌙
