Custom loading texts/topics

Added in version 1.10.22

The short messages that are shown on loading screen are called topics. Version 1.10.22 lets you add your own topics into the game by defining a draft of type topic. That draft's text will then be shown if the topic gets displayed by the game.

It's as simple as that:

[{
  "id": "$topic_custom_unique_id",
  "type": "topic",
  "text": "Some custom text",         // Text to show
  "weight": 10,                       // 1 by default
  "color": {"r": 255, "g": 0, "b": 0} // Color, yellow by default
}]

The optional weight attribute can be used to specify the likelihood of that topic to be shown relative to other topics. The default value is 1. A value of 2 would make it two times more likely for the topic to be shown.

The optional color attribute can be used specify a custom color for you topic. By default the game will use yellow to draw the topic.

Warning

Be careful to use a reasonable weight, otherwise your plugins may not get approved.
