Question about adding extra star backgrounds

Post by Emton »

If I want to add extra star backgrounds how do I go about naming the files so that they get picked up and used by the game? If that's how it works what are all the categories? Like is it bg_blue* , bg_lonely* , or is it just bg_*. Do the planets just get put in randomly? Any advice is appreciated.

I've never done backgrounds before, but look at the events_imageList.xml file.

Yeah if you need more examples you can also check how this mod goes about adding image. Extract the .ftl and look at the files basically. events_imageList.xml file is indeed the way to go. I don't think how you name the files matters, but you'll have to add them to the lists in that file in order for them to appear in game.
