Custom Images

Introduction

The gallery supports two modes:

  • Unsplash: loads the latest photos live from Unsplash.com
  • GIPHY: show currently trending animated GIFs
  • Device: loads png and jpg images from your device

The path where to store images on the device depends on the device:

  • Oculus Quest: Android\data\com.wetzold.travrsal\files\UserImages
  • PC: C:\Users\YOURUSER\AppData\LocalLow\Wetzold Studios\traVRsal\UserImages

Format

Both PNG and JPG are supported. JPG has the advantage that also EXIF data is read, showing up as the name, description and author and it will apply the correct rotation.

Size plays an important role for memory consumption. Unsplash images are loaded with a width of 1080px right now so custom images should aim for roughly the same to ensure a smooth experience.

Extend

It is possible to influence the gallery even more:

  • Custom sort order
  • Filtering of used images
  • Enhancing the metadata for each image
  • Adding an audio guide

This is done by placing an additional modding.json file into the image folder. For all details, see the chapter on Modding.
