Tidbits

Automatically show helpful tips to your players when they join the game, during load screens and when the game is paused. Customize tips and loading screen images to your liking!

How to use

The module will be ready to use from the get go, but you can head to the module settings to decide when to show tidbits, you can:

• Show tidbits when the game is paused in place of the "Paused" text
• Show tidbits while a scene is loading
• Show tidbits when a player joins the game as a whisper chat message

Customization

Customizing the loading screen images

To customize the loading screen images, simply point the corresponding setting to a folder containing your images. The module will automatically pick a random image from the folder to display.

Customizing the tidbits

The tidbits can come from two sources:

• Included tidbits: tidbits that are included with the module, these are system specific, you can disable them by unchecking the Use default sources setting
• Custom tidbits: tidbits that you can add yourself, you can add them by pointing the corresponding Custom Source setting to a .txt or .json file

Tidbits support regular text as well as Markdown (opens in a new tab).

With a text file

In order to create a custom list of tidbits, simply create a .txt file containing your tidbits and point the corresponding setting to it. Each tidbit should be on a separate line.

Example:

This is a tidbit
This is another tidbit
This is a third tidbit

With a JSON file

In order to create a custom list of tidbits, simply create a .json file containing your tidbits and point the corresponding setting to it. The file should be formatted as follows:

[
    "This is a tidbit",
    "This is another tidbit",
    "This is a third tidbit"
]
