Menu option "replay level from the start" is misleading

[angilbert]

Currently in the menu there is an option "replay level from the start" which has the same effect as pressing R in the game. However if you have a game with multiple levels AND checkpoints this option doesn't actually restart the whole level (as it suggests).

Being able to freshly restart a checkpoint-driven level would be a useful feature. Currently the only way to achieve this is to restart the whole game or return to level-select (if enabled).

I suggest "replay level from the start" should be removed, or reworded or be adjusted to do what it suggests.

If the option is retained as-is then perhaps consider rewording it "resume with restart" which correctly describes its behaviour.

I think it could say 'the start' or 'checkpoint' if there is one.

Yes... if the menu option read "restart from the last checkpoint" that would definitely be more accurate.
If it actually restarted the level afresh (as if I'd gone to the level-select screen and reloaded it) that would be even better. :)

Unfortunately I find I cannot always, reliably reload/restart the level using level-select due to #156

"replay level from the start" is also broken for checkpoint driven games

It might be both less confusing and easier to maintain if the "replay level from start" option is removed entirely from the pause menu. The R key suffices perfectly as a means of restoring state back to a checkpoint.
