## ◾ Changes

####

### ◾ Added support for materials as wallpapers

Server owners can now specify materials for their interface background. By default, this script uses a DHTML panel to load wallpapers from external websites. The issue with this is that it can sometimes make the interface take a second or two longer to actually load.

By using materials; it can make load times significantly less; however, this requires the server owner to upload the desired materials to a Steam Workshop collection and call the image within the config:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="linx\lua\modules\epistle\cfg\sh\_cfg\_bg.lua" %}

```lua
cfg.bg.material.enabled     = true
cfg.bg.material.list        =
{
    'path/to/material_1.png',
    'path/to/material_2.png',
}
cfg.bg.material.clr         = Color( 255, 255, 255, 255 )
cfg.bg.height               = 'auto'
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

If you decide to enable material wallpapers; it is HIGHLY recommended that you disable the other wallpaper settings for loading external images; otherwise load-times will be equally as bad:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="linx\lua\modules\epistle\cfg\sh\_cfg\_bg.lua" %}

```lua
cfg.bg.static.enabled     = false
cfg.bg.live.enabled       = false
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

In order to create a Steam Workshop collection; you must utilize a tool such as GMPU (**Garry's Mod Publishing Utility**) which can be [**downloaded here**](https://github.com/alatnet/gmpu):
