== Background image script by FP == | |||
You can render images on any world by pasting the following script into the console:<blockquote><code>state.background = {</code> | |||
<code> path: "[image URL]"</code> | |||
<code>};</code> | |||
<code>loadBackgroundData(function() {</code> | |||
<code> w.redraw()</code> | |||
<code>}, function() {</code> | |||
<code> w.redraw()</code> | |||
<gallery widths="200" heights=" | <code>});</code></blockquote>The image will only show up on your end, of course.<gallery widths="200" heights="180"> | ||
