Docs/Web

This information explains the 'web' folder provided in your downloaded zip.

Wallpapers provided by the developer are meant to be for demonstration purposes. It is advised that you locate your own set of wallpapers to use with the examples provided in the download. Ensure the image file sizes are not large; otherwise they may take a few seconds to load for players who view the interface.

◾ Summary

This script includes wallpapers / live backgrounds which can be displayed on your interface. These wallpapers are hosted via rlib's cloud, which should only be temporary.

Your downloaded zip from gmodstore.com includes a docs/web folder which contains a series of static images and a live wallpaper .webm file that you can use as wallpaper to display on your in-game interface.

It is recommended that you utilize your own hosting server and upload the files provided in the docs/webfolder. If the rlib cloud goes down; your wallpapers will not work.

You may also upload the images to a website such as https://imgur.com/ and use the link they provide after upload within your config to change wallpaper URLs.

◾ Static Wallpapers

Static wallpapers are still images located in the docs/web/static folder. This folder includes a few demo wallpapers to get you started, however, you can use any images you'd like.

Creating your own? We recommend you use an image size of 1920x1080 minimum.

◾ Live Wallpapers

Live wallpapers are animated videos that are in .webm format. One is provided for you as an example, as well as a .php script which allows you to implement them in your script.

◾ Upload / Webserver

  • Upload the contents of the docs/web folder to your own hosting server.

  • Open your script's background config file.

    • lua\modules\lektro\cfg\sh_cfg_bg.lua

  • Locate the two tables associated with static and live wallpaper URLs.

    • cfg.bg.static.list and cfg.bg.live.list

  • Edit the URLs to match your own webserver URL.

    • For static images; it is simply the path to your image:

      • https://yourdomain.com/web/static/1.jpg

    • For live wallpapers; use the .php file provided and add the video name:

      • http://yourdomain.com/web/live/index.php?id=default_1

  • If you change the names of the files; then edit the paths accordingly.

  • Once edited; save the config, and restart the server.

◾ Upload / Imgur

https://imgur.com/ can be used for static wallpapers only. You will need to use your own personal webserver to host live wallpapers.

  • Create an account on imgur.com

  • Select Add Images and use the upload interface to select your static wallpapers and upload them.

  • Once uploaded; select the photo and a popup will appear with a series of links on the right.
