This framework lets modders create wide and hi-res wallpaper using Content Patcher.

Wallpaper should first be added to the catalogue using the game's built-in custom wallpaper system.

To implement this mod, create a Content Patcher patch targeting this mod's dictionary, e.g.:

{
<br />    "Action": "EditData",
<br />    "Target": "aedenthorn.CustomWallpaperFramework/dictionary",
<br />    "Entries": {
<br />        "aedenthorn.CustomWallpaperWide": {
<br />            "id": "aedenthorn.CustomWallpaperWide",
<br />            "texturePath": "aedenthorn.CustomWallpaperWide/Wallpaper",
<br />            "width": 12
<br />        },
<br />        "aedenthorn.CustomWallpaperWide2": {
<br />            "id": "aedenthorn.CustomWallpaperWide2",
<br />            "texturePath": "aedenthorn.CustomWallpaperWide/Wallpaper2",
<br />            "width": 2
<br />        },
<br />        "aedenthorn.CustomWallpaperWide3": {
<br />            "id": "aedenthorn.CustomWallpaperWide3",
<br />            "texturePath": "aedenthorn.CustomWallpaperWide/Wallpaper3",
<br />            "width": 8
<br />        },
<br />        "aedenthorn.CustomWallpaperWide4": {
<br />            "id": "aedenthorn.CustomWallpaperWide4",
<br />            "texturePath": "aedenthorn.CustomWallpaperWide/Wallpaper4",
<br />            "width": 5,
<br />            "scale":2
<br />        },
<br />        "aedenthorn.CustomWallpaperWide5": {
<br />            "id": "aedenthorn.CustomWallpaperWide5",
<br />            "texturePath": "aedenthorn.CustomWallpaperWide/Wallpaper5",
<br />            "width": 6,
<br />            "scale":1
<br />        }
<br />    }
<br />}
<br />

id must refer to the id of your wallpaper added using the game's custom wallpaper system.
width refers to the number of tiles wide the wallpaper is. Wallpaper is always 3 tiles high.
scale is the size multiplier used when displaying the wallpaper, so a scale of 4 means your wallpaper will be scaled up 4x (this is the default). If you want higher-resolution wallpaper, you can set the scale to 2 or 1. Your texture file size must reflect this, so if your scale is 4, the texture must be 48 pixels tall (3 * 64 / 4), etc.
texturePath must be a path in the game's Content folder (usually a fake path using Content Patcher to load an actual png file).

An example pack is here.
