Loading-screen tips and pictures, and other one-file additions.
Not every mod is a system. Some of the nicest additions are one file.
Loading-screen tips: .ultip
One tip per file, anywhere in your mod:
lua-- LoadingTips/ynl_tip_last_orders.ultip
return {
TIP_TEXT = "Tip: Bars call last orders an hour before closing. Don't be the one still ordering.",
}
Tips from every enabled mod are shown at random on loading screens. Use them to teach players what your mod adds.
Loading-screen pictures: Loading/
Loading/background.png and Loading/logo.png replace the loading screen's background and logo. The latest mod in the load order that ships each file wins.
