|
|
|
|
<img src="../../../wiki_images/logos/rd-esde-logo.svg" width="300">
|
|
|
|
## Main splash location
|
|
|
|
The main retrodeck splash is located in:
|
|
|
|
[res/splash.svg](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/blob/main/res/splash.svg)
|
|
|
|
This is used at all times unless it is being overridden by the Easter Egg function.
|
|
|
|
## Easter Egg function
|
|
|
|
The function is part of the [functions/functions.sh](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/blob/main/functions/functions.sh) shell script.
|
|
|
|
The `easter_eggs()` function looks in the reference list and overrides the bootlogo with one of the .svg files from the referense list.
|
|
|
|
Decription of the function:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
easter_eggs() {
|
|
# This function will replace the RetroDECK startup splash screen with a different image if the day and time match a listing in easter_egg_checklist.cfg
|
|
# The easter_egg_checklist.cfg file has the current format: $start_date^$end_date^$start_time^$end_time^$splash_file
|
|
# Ex. The line "1001^1031^0000^2359^spooky.svg" would show the file "spooky.svg" during any time of day in the month of October
|
|
# The easter_egg_checklist.cfg is read in order, so lines higher in the file will have higher priority in the event of an overlap
|
|
# USAGE: easter_eggs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `easter_eggs()` function is as a part of the `start_retrodeck()` bootup function.
|
|
|
|
## Easter Egg reference list
|
|
|
|
The reference list is located under:
|
|
|
|
[emu-configs/defaults/retrodeck/reference_lists/easter_egg_checklist.cfg](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/blob/main/emu-configs/defaults/retrodeck/reference_lists/easter_egg_checklist.cfg)
|
|
|
|
The config is populated with references with dates and time on when the easter egg logo should show up in the following format with `^` as seperators.
|
|
|
|
Each new logo is added as a new line.
|
|
|
|
### Example
|
|
|
|
`MMDD^MMDD^HHMM^HHMM^<rd-logoname-splash.svg>`
|
|
|
|
The order is:
|
|
|
|
- Start Date: MMDD
|
|
- End Date: MMDD
|
|
- Start Time: HHMM
|
|
- End Time: HHMM
|
|
- The `rd-logoname-splash.svg` should match the exact filename under [res/extra_splashes](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/tree/main/res/extra_splashes)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Example rd-xmas-splash.svg
|
|
|
|
The [res/extra_splashes/rd-xmas-splash.svg](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/blob/main/res/extra_splashes/rd-xmas-splash.svg) exists within the extra_splashes folder.
|
|
|
|
The xmas logo splash in the reference list
|
|
|
|
`1201^1231^0000^2359^rd-xmas-splash.svg`
|
|
|
|
It says that the logo: `rd-xmas-splash.svg`
|
|
|
|
Should be displayed between:
|
|
|
|
- The 1st December and 31 December
|
|
- Within the time of 0000 to 2359 aka 24 hours.
|
|
|
|
## How to add a new splash logo
|
|
|
|
1. Get a hold of the logo in .svg format and it should have a transparent background.
|
|
2. Rename the logo so it matches the rd-logoname-splash.svg name so if as an example you want to add Easter name it: rd-easter-splash.svg
|
|
3. Put the logo in [extra_splashes](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/tree/main/res/extra_splashes)
|
|
4. Update the [easter_egg_checklist.cfg](https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/blob/main/emu-configs/defaults/retrodeck/reference_lists/easter_egg_checklist.cfg) with new information.
|
|
5. Change the date of your PC to when the logo is supposed to show up to make sure it is working.
|
|
6. Done
