Would the splash screen be able to also display images (whether in ascii art or just normal)? or allow for custom animations/designs to be imported into it?
I could see this working like a book/dream/vision for the player and they will see the title of the book, or have some neat image/animation for the splash screen (when dream/vision) then the information will be presented to them.
That would allow for more system agnostic setup as well, and allow for some fun roleplay and information gathering or backstory reveals, etc.
The modules supports a large amount of customization. These are some of the things already in the module:
- You can set the background to an image or video
- you can define your own ASCII for the splash
- you can define the colors for most things
- you can set your own border for the window.
- the audio for click, login, logout and ambient can be set
With these you should be able to get a theme close to what your describing.
I could put it on my list of things to look into for specifically defining a splash video. Which is only shown on startup and then would change to the standard background in use now.
