## Starting Menu Starting menu should be the one to follow the connection menu and the one that actually sends the player into the game as a set character or as a spectator. It also serves several other purposes: Provides a list of servers or information about a selected server:

Provides a list of players and occupied roles:

Allows changing the game settings (video and audio settings the same as in the [#in-game-settings](#in-game-settings "mention")):

And allows editing character at any point prior to embarking. ## Edit Character This menu is made to set up player's character. This requires several other systems, like shape keys, clothing and jobs. The character appearance is the menu where the player decides the character's shape, mass, hair, skin color, special features and other things:

Character loadout is the menu where equipment like clothes, tools and cosmetics are assigned to the character:

Sound volume levels and sound-related settings:

And the same controls menu page from the [#starting-menu](#starting-menu "mention"). There are other types of menus that are actually taking part in the gameplay directly, such as crafting menus or console menus. Most of them are either a part of the player's initial interface or a specifically set up type of window with unique interactable elements. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://ss3d.gitbook.io/art-guide/2d/ui-elements/menu.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
