Replacing purple background?

#1

Post by mdk_813 »

Hey there,
I'm not sure, whether this is really a suggestion or rather a plugin discussion, so move this topic if you deem it necessary.
But in the meantime, I would like to ask/suggest this:
Is there a way to replace the default purple background, which you can see behind a map, with another image chosen by the player? If so, how would I do that and which size would such an image have to have?
If not, could you maybe add that option (ideally without having to make it part of the plugin texture, because I would assume that it would take quite a lot of texture space ;) ).

I think it would be nice to have that option. I would probably want to use a background with stars and planets etc. so that it looks like the map is floating in space... :space

Thanks.

I don't think it would take a lot of space for the texture, because it is just repeated infinitely.
Well that depends on the size of the image. If you just want a repetitive pattern of some sort, then yes. But if you want a real picture of, say, space with stars and glaxies etc, then it would probably be significantly bigger.

An option to replace it via plugin will be added.
