[SkylordLuke]

I know there is a shortcut to doing that,but that means I would have to load in all my 100000000+ creations that used conduits.. and save them again,just to fix all that hahahaha

...BTW where can I find the patch notes to all the updates coming out?

that would be the link in the first post of everyone of these update announcement threads.

Can we make it easier to change and/or add backgrounds to the main menu? maybe have an option to use a random screenshot?
Also the blur thing is very confusing and it makes me seasick, it's not easy to see on the standard background but when you change, well looks like this.
Otherwise this is an amazing update that helps a lot.
Another thing I would love to see is that we can have links in the descriptions for servers, this would be very helpful for servers such as NFD where we need our players to make an app before they can be whitelisted.

Expanding on this, can we also have the setting for the server description be moved to it's own text file like teh MOTD, and have the char limit lifted now we have that nice text box for it?

We're not sure what we'll end up as background, multiple ways of doing a more exciting one than just a still image but this was the easiest one. If we decide to stick with an image or a series of fading in/out images, we'll remove the blur effect.

Just having it customizable would be nice. It's not important at all but it would indeed be a neat little thing to have.
Could you also pic another resolution than 1024x1024? it lokes quite bad when the pictures is stretched and squeezed like it is right now.

Why is that image at such a shitty resolution anyway? it's not even at a screen ratio that anyone uses

That will result in a lot more data that needs to be fetched every time you refresh with the current system, it might be possible when it is changed.

Just have the data fetch whenever you click on a server. the checksums for updating the game will be bigger than most server descriptions

Use an activator instead.

Pictures need to have a resolution of a power of 2 or it will show issues. 2048 x 2048 should be fine for example.

It needs to display properly for every resolution possible, I don't know the code behind it so can't say why we need this particular format.
There's no point of making a high res picture of something we intentionally gave a blur, it only increases the load time to get in the main menu.

Yeah, but that's not how it works right now. That's why I mentioned "how the current system does it" and that it might be possible when we change it.

But that won't solve the stretching issues that come from it being streched to accommodate screen ratios almost 2 times wider than the images >_>

It's better than this:

 

[therimmer96]

It's better than this:

Why not just fix the bug rather than having it look off? or is the blur just there to hide stretching artifacts?

 

[Crimson-Artist]

When you change the background image just right

also for anyone who wants to know, to change the background image for the new menu just replace the image named "loadingscreen-background" in the data>image-resource folder

 

[kikaha]

I like that new menu.

I don't like my turrets not firing although they do aim at targets... :/
