You can have more than 10 game backgrounds

by Wuzzy » Post

I just found out something surprising:
You can actually have more than 10 game backgrounds in the main menu.
I thought you can only have these files in the menu directory:
  • background.png
  • background.1.png
  • background.2.png
  • background.9.png
And Minetest picks a random image each time.

I thought only a single digit is supported, like for sounds. But it turns out, the number system is different than for sounds and the single-digit restriction does NOT apply. So, these work, too:
  • background.10.png
  • background.11.png
  • background.12.png
  • background.20.png
  • background.99.png
I’m not sure what the true upper limit is tho.
