F12 Fix

[PiaCRT]

Hello, today my co-worker found a bug in my game regarding the F12 button while sliding on ice(?) downwards. So, I remembered this script by Zeriab that replaces the reset function of F12 with a pausing image. I tweaked the script to be completely functional with Essentials, and I felt it should be shared for other developers. Enjoy:

############################################################
#F12 Pause Menu
#By Zeriab and tweaked by Pia Carrot
#Now will show pause menu over other menus
#
#Instructions
#Add an image called "f12.png" to your Graphics/Pictures folder
#F12 will no longer reset your game and will display this image
#until you press F12 again.
#
#
#Credits must be given to Zeriab.
#Enjoy this tweaked script for use of Pokemon Essentials

Instructions

Add an image called "f12.png" to your Graphics/Pictures folder. It should be the same size as your game's screen size (though it doesn't have to be!). And...Place the script above all other scripts. Yup...That's it.

Credits

Only Zeriab is to be credited, I only changed 2 lines of this script. If you want to credit me that's all on you.

Screenshots

Not much to show here but here you go anyway:

Compatability and Bugs

Shouldn't be any bugs, and if one occurs let me know. This freezes graphics entirely so it should be fine. This should not be compatable with any other F12 Fixes. That's the bucket list for ya'.

Thanks for looking, enjoy!
