Documentation on how to make themes?
Would be nice to be able to make a pixelated theme and also change the (quite annoying) default sounds.
Basically I am looking into using this: https://opengameart.org/content/match-3
Also see this OGA collection I am working on: https://opengameart.org/content/block-attack-pixelated-theme
Theme support was something the game lost when going from 1.4.2 to 2.0.0.
The 2.0.0 structure actually makes it more powerful, it is just not possible to tell the game where to look. It always look in "blockattack.data" and the "data"-folder.
As a workaround it is possible to override the theme by placing a folder called "data" next to executable and place the files you want to override in there. On Linux the "data" folder needs to be in the x86_64 directory.
Example where I have replaced yellow and blue (but not resized them to fit):
Zip file with the "data" folder used:
blockattack_match3_sample.zip
There is a newer documentation for 2.7.0 here: https://github.com/blockattack/blockattack-game/tree/master/Game/mods/1.3.0.bricks_unpacked.data It describes the 1.3.0.bricks sample included with 2.7.0.
