Introduction

• This is a simple plugin that adds a pause scene with a background image of your choice when you press a button on Scene_Map.

Features

• Pause the game pressing a button when you are at the scene map(This also stops the $gameSystem.playTime()).
• Choose an image to show when the game is paused.
• It saves the current playTime(Graphics.frameCount/$gameSystem.playTime()) before you pause, and restore it after you leave the pause scene.

How to use

• You can choose an image from your system folder. Make sure it is the size of your game resolution. You can also not use any image.
• Check out this site to find your desired javascript keycode:
