Talonos Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) Hello, all. I'm wondering if there's a way to add multiple pack backgrounds to a modpack, so that perhaps the launcher will switch between them. (I run a small private server, and it'd be kinda cool to have the splash screen show a screen shot of a random person's base or something.) I've looked at my modpack URL provided by the technic launcher, and when I go there with a web browser, it seems to return a JSon object or something. If I host my own modpack URL instead of pointing to the one given to me by default, I could put whatever I want in there. Theoretically, I suppose I could have my modpack url point to a CGI script that inserts a different image address in the "background" field every time it's called (from a list of possible choices I host on my own website). But is there an easier way? Hexxit does some pretty cool stuff with its background, for instance. Is it hardcoded in, or does it have a modpack URL that I can look at to see how it did it?

Talonos Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 Is there a rule against bumping threads? Even ones unanswered after nearly a month? If I simply must use a CGI script, could somebody tell me? Quote
rlego525 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Are you trying to say that you want a custom background when someone launches Minecraft with the modpack? Or the actual splashes themselves? Quote
Talonos Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 Good call on that. What I meant by "splash screen" was the "pack background" that you send in when setting up a modpack. (That is, the 880x520 one). I'll edit the subject of my first post to clarify. Thanks! Quote
rlego525 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 The only way that I know of to change the background panorama is to actually go in the minecraft.jar file itself and go to the title directory and change the pictures. For 1.6.x and above, the directory would be "/assets/minecraft/textures/gui/title/background/", and for older versions, the directory would be "/title/bg/" both without quotes. I personally don't know how to change the backgrounds since I just change the splashes around, so I can't really help you further than this. Quote
