Mr UnCheat thank You for this! Exactly what I needed for the Main Menu Suite :D Take my points!

What do I do if I have black screen when choosing "direct"?
I've created the direct folder and placed the "background.png" there but it doesn't work, a black screen instead of my picture.

Feel free to modify the page as needed, clarify points or add more to it

Sir Doggy Jvla 9. mar. kl. 7:53

Hello, I currently lead the Project Modding for the official wiki for the game and I made a page to document your framework for other modders to be able to easily find it:

The main menu changes to a black screen when I use my direct custom image, the default ones work fine.

TacticalKitten 27. feb. kl. 15:33

I am able to change the icon perfectly fine but when I go to change the background it does not work. I have all my mods disabled except this one and it still does not work. I have named it background.png

最近遇到画面闪烁的问题不知是不是原版还是mod造成的........喜欢你的模组 ~
Recently, I encountered a problem of screen flickering. I don't know if it is caused by the original version or a mod... I like your mod.

Sir Doggy Jvla 31. jan. kl. 0:28

Alright, I'll try to tinker with it to possibly add this functionality in

UnCheat [ophavsmand] 30. jan. kl. 16:35

Nope. Out of the game for now.. so may be later after 42 stable

Sir Doggy Jvla 30. jan. kl. 14:46

Hey ! I used your framework to add backgrounds for my mod, which I had already done before with single mods that need to be activated, reloading the game etc and your framework is great !

We did discuss that animated main menu backgrounds are possible and I plan on making one, have you added the ability to use the .bik videos ?

Dark Thoughts 30. jan. kl. 7:52

Hm, the devs tried to shove the blame onto the mods.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/108600/discussions/1/592887665229069696/

UnCheat [ophavsmand] 30. jan. kl. 7:22

Well that's a game API problem not a mods then...

Dark Thoughts 30. jan. kl. 6:38

Alright, I found the issue. Your mod (along some others) try to write into & consequently create a modOptions.ini instead of the intended ModOptions.ini. This confuses PZ and breaks the mod menu on case sensitive file systems (basically everything but Windows file systems).

UnCheat [ophavsmand] 30. jan. kl. 4:50

Oh well, might be update changed something. I do not play PZ anymore for some time so can't tell..

Dark Thoughts 29. jan. kl. 4:36

@UnCheat That does not answer my question. None of the mod options actually save. The moment I restart the game they're all reset to their defaults.

UnCheat [ophavsmand] 29. jan. kl. 0:09

@Dark Thoughts
It utilizes new vanila mod options api and saves config file for all mods via api

UnCheat [ophavsmand] 29. jan. kl. 0:08

@Blessed Mother
Well game engine does not accept JPG files...
But any size will fit and reside to any resolution

Blessed Mother 28. jan. kl. 14:33

Oh, also, is it possible to make it so JPG images are recognized instead of PNG? JPG file size is a lot smaller than PNG, so it would be really helpful if we can use JPG instead. :)

Blessed Mother 28. jan. kl. 14:30

If someone has a 4K monitor and they use a 1920x1080p image, will that image fill their entire screen?

Dark Thoughts 28. jan. kl. 13:29

Sorry if I missed it, but how does one save the mod options permanently so that they do not reset every time the game starts?

somewhatfrog 17. jan. kl. 15:29

Thank you!

Blessed Mother 17. jan. kl. 13:59

Thank you for the updates! :)

Is it possible to have the backgrounds images cycle every X seconds with a somewhat-slow fade between each image?

Also, I uninstalled my PZ game, and deleted a bunch of left-over folders, and re-installed the game, but the lightning strike still does not work for me. Maybe another mod I am subscribed to is conflicting?

UnCheat [ophavsmand] 14. jan. kl. 10:01

@Ashadar Re'souley

Ashadar Re'souley 14. jan. kl. 9:53

@UnCheat alright thanks for clearing up my confusion on where to put the direct file

UnCheat [ophavsmand] 14. jan. kl. 9:28

Stay tuned ^_^

Sir Doggy Jvla 14. jan. kl. 9:16

I think I'll use your framework to make my addon for main menus instead of proposing one mod for one main menu, here it sounds way better for users to just have a pack of backgrounds related to my TLOU infected mod

And if you ever add video support, maybe I'll be able to fuck around with it and add animations to my clickers in the background for example

Sir Doggy Jvla 14. jan. kl. 9:14

Nice !

UnCheat [ophavsmand] 14. jan. kl. 9:04

@Sir Doggy Jvla
Thanks for the idea! It was interesting to dig it :)

UnCheat [ophavsmand] 14. jan. kl. 9:03

So it's currently WIP but most likely that I'll add video support to addons on a weekend ;)

UnCheat [ophavsmand] 14. jan. kl. 9:02

So experimenting with videos:
1. Must know perfect video resolution or it'll rended badly:
perfect: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3407481437
badly: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3407481532
2. Looks like game supports .bik and .bk2 video formats

1st issue is not bad for addons where width and height could be set explicitly via api but is abd for direct where we can workaround it with adding image(screenshot or empty) of video with perfect sizes as video

UnCheat [ophavsmand] 14. jan. kl. 8:39

There is also restriction to put video files on media/videos/ folder but possible to add into subfolder media/videos/direct

UnCheat [ophavsmand] 14. jan. kl. 8:21

It does

Sir Doggy Jvla 14. jan. kl. 8:05

Check out the videos the game uses, if it does indeed uses that format then go for it

UnCheat [ophavsmand] 14. jan. kl. 7:55

Well that format is an only option to feed to java via lua :P

Sir Doggy Jvla 14. jan. kl. 7:50

I'm not familiar with what format the videos use

UnCheat [ophavsmand] 14. jan. kl. 7:50

Only one not user friendly thing is .bik format, are you ok with that?

UnCheat [ophavsmand] 14. jan. kl. 7:49

Thanks but I don't use discord. I figured it out )

UnCheat [ophavsmand] 14. jan. kl. 7:49

Ok there is a format called .bik and it could be rendered frame by frame (every background render call)
So it's possible

Sir Doggy Jvla 14. jan. kl. 7:48

Sir Doggy Jvla 14. jan. kl. 7:48

The game has native abilities to play videos in the game, I believe it was Skizot who did it

UnCheat [ophavsmand] 14. jan. kl. 7:42

Videos?
Interesting I'll check the possibility and performance and will add it if it's possible and reasonable :)

Sir Doggy Jvla 14. jan. kl. 6:37

Hey, I know I had seen someone manage to have videos as backgrounds too, perhaps that could be implemented in your framework too

UnCheat [ophavsmand] 13. jan. kl. 22:46

@Jakób .png only. It's limited by java side

UnCheat [ophavsmand] 13. jan. kl. 22:28

And you've to create that "direct" folder

UnCheat [ophavsmand] 13. jan. kl. 22:26

steamapps/common/ProjectZomboid/direct/background.png

Ashadar Re'souley 13. jan. kl. 13:22

do i put the direct file in "steamapps,common,ProjectZomboid"? or is that the wrong file

Coby 13. jan. kl. 10:06

would I be able to add .gif file as a background or is it for .png only?

UnCheat [ophavsmand] 13. jan. kl. 6:02

Sorry for the inconvenience if you used direct game folder before, but before this framework grows up better do all right way

UnCheat [ophavsmand] 13. jan. kl. 6:00

Updated:
-- Direct feed changed to /direct folder
-- New multiple direct images feed possibility
