Customize Tips Screen

The tips screen is where your players see various information after selecting their character. This screen provides an opportunity to share server rules, gameplay tips, or interesting facts about your server.

Tips Content Configuration

You can customize the tips that appear during loading:

Note:

The texts in Config.LoadingTips are examples. While they appear short here, you can write any length of text you want.

Config.LoadingTips = {
    {
        title = "Did You Know?",
        description = "You can earn extra money by working as a delivery driver for the postal service. Look for the job at the employment office!"
    },
    {
        title = "Roleplay Tip",
        description = "Take time to develop your character's backstory. Having a rich background will make your roleplay experience more immersive and enjoyable."
    },
    {
        title = "City Life",
        description = "The Vanilla Unicorn isn't just a club - it's an important social hub for many citizens. Remember to behave appropriately when visiting!"
    },
}

Loading Screen Background Configuration

You can customize the background images shown during the tips screen:

Note:

Config.LoadingScreen = {
    backgrounds = { 
        "img/tip1.jpg",
        "img/tip2.jpg",
        "img/tip3.jpg",
        "img/tip4.jpg",
        "img/tip5.jpg",
        "img/tip6.jpg",
    },
    overlayOpacity = 0.45,
    displayDuration = 5000,
    cardDelay = 3500
}
  • backgrounds: List of image paths to be used as backgrounds
  • overlayOpacity: The opacity of the dark overlay (0-1, where 0 is transparent and 1 is opaque)
  • displayDuration: The duration each tip is displayed for (in milliseconds)
  • cardDelay: The delay before the tip card appears (in milliseconds)

Background Image Requirements

For the best loading screen experience:

  1. Image Size: Use high-resolution images (recommended 1920x1080px)
  2. File Format: JPEG format works best for background images
  3. File Location: Place your images in sw_multichar/web/build/img/
  4. File Names: Make sure your files are named exactly as specified in the config (e.g., tip1.jpg, tip2.jpg)

Note:

Make sure the file names match exactly what's in your config (e.g., tip1.jpg and tip2.jpg). Otherwise, the images won't appear correctly.
