Teeworlds - development

still looking for a couple of 2:1 icons for https://github.com/teeworlds/teeworlds/pull/1707

Theme selection by Dune-jr · Pull Request #1707 · teeworlds/teew...

Implemented a Theme selector in Settings/General. Themes are located in datasrc/ui/themes. This is the content of my themes folder: For each theme, you need at least one map, at most two and a 2:1...

What about a container format? @Dune flat concatenation of a describing text file (name, localized, whether day, night or both, credits for the author), the png icon (please make it mandatory for ux sake), and one or two maps? If you can't just flat concat them, use a <length><encoded> format similar to BER

Makes it a lot easier to distribute as "compiled" theme file, is a very simple encoding, putting info text at first makes it even editable in every better text editor and supports localization

I prefer ease of replacement/editing

Besides, if we have it that way, make it more powerful and let the theme override particles, etc as well (im tempted to say every file in a similar fashion as storage.txt, like implement it there and specify a loader on a very low level (or just use tar archives) but I'm not sure if that's a good idea)

@Dune do both and make it a compile step like datasrc/themes/<name>/day.map,.... Compile to data/themes/<name>.theme

could be good, I don't know

I mean, if you have a specific idea, propose it with an issue or PR. I have a lot to do already before release ^^

Bam themes

but then the user needs to figure how to compile to edit his stuff, unzip/zip, etc.

13:53

right now you can just draw your little map and set it as a background, with 0 skills and never opening a console :)

Told you, make it a zip archive

if you have ideas this precise on how you want it done, do it ^^

Or just support both
