Flirper

Description
This Mod is not maintained anymore

There will be no more changes to this mod. If you wish to continue to develop this mod, please fork the source code and send me a message, and I will link to the new version.



Flirper changes the main menu background to a random image from a user-supplied list.

Usage

Subscribe to the mod via the Steam Workshop. By default, Flirper will then automatically try to fetch images from imgur.com. For configuration, please refer to the README[github.com].

Disabling the mod

Flirper cannot be enabled or disabled via the Content Manager, because its logic is started when the game checks the mod's name. Therefore, to disable Flirper, you need to unsubscribe from the mod (through Steam or the Content Manager).

Changelog
v1.1:
* 10 new images in the default list
* game version check (to avoid future incompatibilities)
* internal changes

If you have never edited the default image list, you get the new images automatically. If you did, you can delete your FlirperImageList.txt and restart C:S to get the default.

Known issues

Flirper should fail gracefully when it cannot load an image, but I have not tested every possible combination. Similarly, I don't know how it handles uncommon resolutions.

Some of the default image URLs may not be reachable at any moment. Flirper will write an exception to the game's console (F7) when it can't load a source.

Please report any issues (preferably with OS, error message in F7 console if any, which source you tried to load).

Okay, I'll think about decreasing the font size. I've been trying to keep it always readable, so proper credit is given, but I've never actually played around with the value.

Thanks for you mod. Been using it since release. Concerning the font size, I'd also like it much smaller. Here's a screenshot from my game: [imgur.com]

@topleya: Is it much bigger than in my preview images? If yes, perhaps you could provide a screenshot. I've tested Flirper on many resolutions and the text was never huge.

Please reduce the font size of the image detail in the top right. It's excessively large

@permutation. You mean I have to read the manual? :P LOL

@Simon: That is correct and stated in the mod's description.
