What is CS_PedMenu?
CS_PedMenu is an advanced character & ped selection system designed for RedM roleplay servers.
It allows players to switch between human characters, animals, and custom peds while giving server administrators full control over what can be used on the server.
With 1600+ animals and peds included, servers can instantly offer a massive variety of playable creatures — from wolves and bears to birds and other wildlife — without needing additional animal scripts or extra resources.
Everything is fully configurable, allowing admins to easily control:
• Available peds and animals
• Outfit variations
• Access permissions
• Menu behavior and categories
CS_PedMenu is built entirely in-house, with no dependency on external menu systems, and features a custom NUI designed to match the RDR2 aesthetic for a clean and immersive experience.
