[1.10.22] Custom loading texts/topics

[Lobby]

image.png

The short messages that are shown on loading screen are called topics. Verison 1.10.22 lets you add your own topics into the game by defining a plugin of type topic. That plugin's text will then be shown if the topic gets displayed by the game.

It's as simple as that

Code: Select all    Reset

[
  {
    "id": "$topic_custom_unique_id",
    "type": "topic",
    "text":"Some custom text",        // Text to show
    "weight": 10,                     // 1 by default
    "color": {"r": 255,"g": 0,"b": 0} // Color, yellow by default
  }
]

The optional weight attribute can be used to specify the likelyhood of that topic to be shown relative to other topics. The default value is 1. A value of 2 would make it two times more likely for the topic to be shown.

The optional color attribute can be used specify a custom color for you topic. By default the game will use yellow to draw the topic.

	Be careful to use a reasonable weight, otherwise your plugins may not get approval.

Finally my suggestions was granted :')
But is there a way to make this only shown on specific date of the IRL year?

[rtobby]

Is using a weight lower than 1, e.g. 0.2 possible?

[Hadestia]

How about an attribute on how often it would display? Around 0.2 would be enough as a max value

Also how about with lua?

what if i change it to "never gonna give you up"?
