Game Pictures

By default, TinkerGame automatically downloads the main header.jpg picture (from configurable STASSURL) if it is not found, and saves it under the SteamAppID name. Those pictures are, for example, used in the Game Launcher (via Game-Desktop-Files) and also in several menus like the Wait requester, the Editor Menu or the Main Menu.

If a game picture could not be found, TinkerGame uses a built-in replacement by default. By enabling USECUSTOMFALLBACKPIC in the Global Menu it is possible to override the fallback picture with a custom one.

The filepath for the custom fallback picture is $CUSTOMFALLBACKPIC = $STLDLDIR/custom-fallback.png (so usually ~/.config/tinkergame/downloads/custom-fallback.png)

When you provide a GitHub user name (preferably your own :)) in the Global Menu, TinkerGame downloads that user's avatar as the custom fallback picture if $CUSTOMFALLBACKPIC is not found.

Downloading and showing Game Pictures can be disabled in the Global Menu found in the Main Menu.
