Slight Suggestion for Picture Frames

CrimsonAcer

Hey, so I was thinking, it would be pretty neat to be able to display Data Bank entries on the Picture frames. Like if I was making a science room I could put a bunch of Picture frames with databank entries on various creatures around my base.

I do understand that you can upload personal images into the screenshots for Picture Frames, but I just think it would be a neat convenience.

You can grab the data bank entry images off the wiki then upload them to the picture frame.

Couldn't you screenshot them while in pda then put them in the picture frames? You know they should make a larger one that can hold multiple pictures to do a slideshow type thing.

It would be better so you can put them in there without having to mess with the game files

It's not messing with the game files so much as just dropping image files into a folder. It doesn't even require something like a config edit iirc

That is still messing with game files

You are technically messing with them by adding something into the game files. So there for you are messing with them slightly.

Yes & no. It's media (images), and not being used in a core mechanic, so that hardly counts as "game files" - as, the files do not affect the game's functionality in any way. If you made a way to do it in-game, the exact same thing would happen, except the game would stick the files there instead of you.

Well I guess the definition is different for each person. For me it counts as messing with it.

No. I knew 100% you can put custom images in. I don't want that kind of hassle though. For sake of convenience I think having hte option to just display it would be fine. Plus, you can't scroll in a picture.
