there is serious issue with it when theres lots of action and players keep pressing directions and start, it just happens that by mistake we pick "end game" and its very annoying, pausing gameplay itself is very annoying so... i know there is "nopause " command to disable pausing in level but that doesnt solve the issue completely, would be nice if "nopause 2" would still allow us to get into pause mode but with pressing start + select in the same time , nopause is nice but i still want to end the game sometimes and id like to be able to do it somehow, i think nopause setting to 2 and pressing select + start would be solve the problem, what do you think guys.
Its really irritating when someone isnt dead yuet and keep pressing start to continue but he pauses the game unintentionally then by mistake press down and start again - voilla , game quits.
Also would be nice if nopause would be in levels.txt or models.txt not only per stage, its global setting and i dont think people would want to customize it so badly on stage by stage basis.

 
I completely agree, it's especially awful when FOUR of us are playing. We literally have to warn each other when we want/need to pause the game :-\ I wish there was some kind of "Are you sure you want to quit" function.
 
yea, i have nopause in level and its fine but i cant go back to menu even with escape button, nopause definitely need update to juts switch pause combination, maybe select+ start or holding start for about 3 seconds ?
Also if player 1 pauses then only him should be able to move in pause menus not other players.
 
Let me see if there're some key script solution.
You know even if you disable p2 start ,  sometimes p1 gets a game over before p2.
 
Maybe the engine should only take control of the one who press start first.


 
yeah but the problem is when people are dying they tend to press start too early (when death anim still plays)and it pauses the game+ other players still keep pressing buttons and pause menu is being controlled randomly, i would like to disable start button as pause, id prefere to pause the game using combination of buttons like start and select or holding start for a couple of seconds.
 
Well if only the one who pressed the start button can control, there won't be any "control randomly' problem. Unless this guy press screenshoot button to bring the secret menu, it is considered intended.

Holding buttons for a few second is not a good idea at all, becaue when one wants to pause, he usually doesn't want to wait. Key combination can work though. But maybe esc button is better than start button for the job because it doesn't have other functions.
 
some problems are non existant in 1 player mode, lots of problems are revealed when playing with others ;D I would like "esc" button to be active even if there is nopause setting active in stage.
