RimFlix

Description
RimFlix allows you to display custom images in televisions.

Create a show from images in a local directory, set the seconds-between-images, and assign it to TV types. A show with random images and a 10 second interval will act like a slideshow. A show with animation frames and a 0.033 second interval will act like a 30 fps animation.

RimFlix can be safely added to and removed from existing games.

How to create a show
1. In Settings, click the Create Show button.
2. Browse to a folder that contains images you want to include in your show. All images (*.png, *.jpg) will be added. You can click an image to see how it will look in game.
3. Enter a name for your show.
4. Enter a time interval between images.
5. Select the TV types you want your show to be played on.
6. Click Create Show, and you're done!

Note: If you later add / remove images from the folder, those images will be automatically added / removed from the show when you restart the game.

Settings
Play shows when no pawns are watching: If enabled, TVs will play shows all the time, even when no pawns are watching. If disabled, TVs will only play shows when pawns are watching.

Seconds until pawns change shows: Pawns will change shows after watching the same show for this many seconds. TVs will have new options for allowing / disallowing pawns to change shows as well as allowing the player to select shows.

Power consumption when playing: Set the power consumption for TVs when a show is playing. 100% is the same as vanilla.

Power consumption when not playing: Set the power consumption for TVs when no shows are playing. 100% is the same as vanilla.

Resize images to TV screen using:
Stretch: Images will be stretched to fit the screen, ignoring aspect ratio.
Fit: Images will be resized as large as possible while staying within the screen's boundaries and keeping aspect ratio.

Adjust sreen size and position: Click the icon at the top of the Settings window to open a new window that allows you to change the size and position of what the mod considers the "screen area" for each TV type.

RimFlix's default settings are the same as Rimworld vanilla settings and will have no impact on gameplay other than visuals.

Adding shows from Steam Workshop and Github
You can add shows others have created either from Steam Workshop or Github. Here is an example.[github.com] Remember to place them below this mod in the load order.

Artists and animators
You can create and share RimFlix shows by uploading them to Steam Workshop. No coding is required. You only need the image files and an XML file that defines each show. Here is an example.[github.com] Other players can add your shows to their game as long as they have the RimFlix mod installed and placed above your show in the mod load order.

Submitted a PR.

Working 1.3 can be found here: https://github.com/Jellypowered/RimFlix/releases/tag/1.3.0

Correction: No mod menu when in 1.3, so no new custom shows. It still has whatever you made in 1.2 and the two preset shows. It's still a little better than vanilla since the screen shows images rather than looking like your pawns are watching a turned off TV.

I've been using this on 1.3 and saw nothing wrong, I made a backup save then just left the game running with TVs and other mods installed on top, seemed functional to me.

I'd still love the author to give it a look over but I can kinda see this becoming another Mlie mod.

Are there plans to update this mod to 1.3?
