This mod is in beta so it will have bugs. The adventure mode beta is not supported..yet.
- Dwarf Fortress premium (Steam or itch.io version, but steam is easier)
- DFHack.
The mod is currently unlisted until I find a cool logo and screenshots: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3254169531
- Download the latest release of this mod here: Latest Release. Decompress the zip file into a folder called
backsplash/ - Place the mod folder inside the
Dwarf Fortress/modsfolder. If you are on steam you can access to theDwarf Fortressdirectory: Right click the game in your steam library, Manage -> browse local files. - Inside the mod folder there's a file called
dfhack_backsplash.init. Copy and paste it intoDwarf Fortress/dfhack-config/init/. This will make it run at startup. - Backup
Dwarf Fortress/data/art/title_background.pngfile - Run DFHack from steam once. It will generate a folder
Dwarf Fortress/data/art/backgrounds. Place the .png files there.
Each time you open or close the game it will cicle randomly between all your backgrounds.
Follow the normal installation but do not place the .init file. Instead, open the DFHack console and run: A gui option inside DFHack is planned, but is not priority.
[DFHack]# backsplash.
It should run without errors
- Delete the mod folder inside mods.
- Delete the
Dwarf Fortress/dfhack-config/init/dfhack_backsplash.initif it exists. - Remove the
Dwarf Fortress/data/art/background/directory. - IMPORTANT Add the original
title_background.pnginsideDwarf Fortress/data/art/. **If there is NO title_background.png file the game will NOT run!
If you lost the original title screen or you have strange errors. Just verify the game files in steam.
Thanks to @myk002 from the DFHack dev team for helping me create my first mod for Dwarf Fortress.
Strike the earth!
