Replacing the STOP Button with an RLV Button in MLPV2

We are going to place the STOP button in your MLPV2 main menu with an RLV Button. This shouldn’t cause you any trouble with your MLPV2 because the STOP button on that menu isn’t very important. Most MLPs have STOP buttons on pretty much every menu, so you can easily find a STOP elsewhere if you need one. All it does is make the poseballs disappear, which they will do on their own anyway if you leave it long enough.

There are two ways to do this–the easy way and the slightly more complex, but tidier way. I prefer tidier method, but if you are easily intimidated, just go the easy route.

EASY WAY

Click on your MLPV2 and choose edit, then go to the contents window. The builder who made your item may have changed things around a bit from default, but you will definitely have at least one notecard starting with .MENUITEMS. If you have several, open the one that just says .MENUITEMS, or one that says .MENUITEMS.MainMenu (or something similar that designates it as a main menu. It should look like this

Double .MENUITEMS it to open it. You should see a section that looks like this

This is the main menu, and controls what is seen on the first menu that pops up. We are going to replace the STOP button with an RLV Button now by simply deleting the word STOP. This removes one menu, and the MLP will now automatically add the RLVStuff menu from the contents of your object in its place.

Now go to OPTIONS, then SHUTDOWN, then RESTART and restart your item. The RLV menu should now come up in the first menu.

TIDIER METHOD (may be challenging for newer users)

The builder who made your item may have changed things around a bit from default, but you will definitely have at least one notecard starting with .MENUITEMS. If you have several, open the one that just says .MENUITEMS, or one that says .MENUITEMS.MainMenu (or something similar that designates it as a main menu. It should look like this

You will end up with this

 Now, go into the contents of your MLP and Delete the notecard called .MENUITEMS.RLVStuff. You no longer need it.

Now go to OPTIONS, then SHUTDOWN, then RESTART and restart your item. The RLV menu should now come up in the first menu.
