How to create an options menu

There is a way to make an options menu without python, Like I choose to turn the lights on or of or filters on or off trough this menu?(im on 2.49b version).
If there is no possibility of make it without python, someone can show me an example about how to make it, I think that it is just store some data that can be read on all the other scenes trough a property or a message.
I want to make this game avaliable online via burster till the end of the year and I m almost finishing it, but there is some details that I cant handle by myself.
Thanks

I believe you could make the meny on a new scene. Then add it as an overlay scene. Then based on what button is clicked you alter variables in the game.

But with overlay scenes, It ll have to load the scene, and the game ll not work properly especially with the filters and the shadows, but thanks kmccmk9!

good luck

Thanks mr blender, But this way I ll never be abble to put all my game togheter, using overlay scenes, I want a way to store the data.
Like I have an options menu, there is an option that is, shadow on or off, so If its turned off when I enter on the game, as Im passsing trough the scenarios the shadows ll be off allways, and the same for the filters.
On my computer I have 30FPS on the game, but I have a GTX 285 on it, and not all the other members ll have it to play, that s why I need so mutch this menu working, otherwise only few guys ll be abble to play it.
thanks for your help but so far, but what I need s a little more complex.
Please, help!

I made a simple menu for u. As far as sending propertys between them without python i’m not to sure.

OHHH, cool cuervo, mutchas gracias!!!
I ll check this out after I sleep, thanks a lot for this!

Very cool cuervo, I check the menu here and Im litle lost, but I ll figure it out how to use it.
I have a question, how can I change the filters on and off and lamps? I really need this to make the game work out for more users! But thanks this is amazing!

Anyone that knows a link or something, I want to give this options for the player on the options menu:

1 - Screen resolution
2 - Filters
3 - Shadows
4 - Exit

But I m lost here, I can make this on the game( except the shadows), but I want to use it as an options menu for the whole game, that way the user ll not need to change the settings on every scenario.

If you know a link or some information about how to create this kind of options menu, please help!

Thanks!
