A mod made to to change most menus' backgrounds to the Geode one
To build this mod, follow one of the methods below:
- Open the project in VS Code.
- Install the necessary dependencies (if not already done).
- Select the appropriate build kit for your platform. You can do this by navigating to the "CMake Tools" tab in the bottom left and selecting "Select a Kit".
- Choose the correct kit for your environment (e.g., macOS, Windows, etc.).
- After selecting the kit, you can build the project by clicking "Build" in the "CMake" tab or by using the terminal command:
cmake --build .
This will compile the mod and generate the necessary files.
- Push your changes to GitHub.
- Open the repository and navigate to the Actions tab.
- Select the workflow called "Build Geode Mod".
- Choose the latest commit.
- After the build is complete, download the generated artifacts from the build step to get the built mod files.
To add a custom background layer to a Geometry Dash menu, follow the example below. This demonstrates how to add a background layer in CreatorLayer
.
#include "../../SwelvyBG.hpp"
#include <Geode/Geode.hpp>
#include <Geode/modify/CreatorLayer.hpp>
using namespace geode::prelude;
class $modify(MyCreatorLayer, CreatorLayer) {
bool init() {
if (!CreatorLayer::init()) {
return false;
}
if (Mod::get()->getSettingValue<bool>("show-creator")){
if (auto bg = this->getChildByID("background")){
bg->setVisible(false);
}
auto swelvyBG = SwelvyBG::create();
swelvyBG->setZOrder(-2);
this->addChild(swelvyBG);
}
return true;
}
};
For external mods that modify the background of a specific menu, you can use the following example. This shows how to hook into GlobedLevelListLayer
to add a custom background.
#include <Geode/Geode.hpp>
#include "../../SwelvyBG.hpp"
#include <alphalaneous.alphas_geode_utils/include/NodeModding.h>
using namespace geode::prelude;
SET_SWELVY(GlobedLevelListLayer, "dankmeme.globed2/GlobedLevelListLayer", "background");
This way is new from v2.0.0+!
