Event pictures

Version

This article has been verified for the current PC version (3.7) of the game.

The sprite information for the event picture graphics are defined in Stellaris/interface/eventpictures.gfx with the following format:

spriteTypes = {
	spriteType = {
		name = "GFX_evt_alien_nature"
		texturefile = "gfx/event_pictures/alien_nature.dds"
		masking_texture = "gfx/interface/situation_log/event_mask.dds"
		alwaystransparent = yes
	}
}

If you'd like to mod in your own event pictures, create a new file mymod_eventpictures.gfx and add your picture like so:

spriteTypes = {
	spriteType = {
		name = "GFX_evt_my_picture_name"
		texturefile = "gfx/event_pictures/my_picture_name.dds"
		masking_texture = "gfx/interface/situation_log/event_mask.dds"
		alwaystransparent = yes
	}
}

You don't have to put your pictures in the Stellaris/gfx/event_pictures folder as long as you supply the correct path, but doing so helps keep things organized.

Picture format[edit | edit source]

The graphics for the event pictures are DDS files, 450x150 pixels (Aspect ratio 3:1), 32bpp RGBA. For origin thumbnails, the dimensions are 220x115 pixels.
