Setup Guide

Requirements

1. Wallpaper Engine.
2. A free OpenWeatherMap API key.
3. Background sound file in .ogg format (optional).

Adding Background Sound

Note: Piston sound effects are included by default, but the background sound is not. You will need to provide your own background sound file.

To add your own custom background audio, you need an audio file in .ogg format:

1. Find or convert your preferred background sound to .ogg format (you can use an online converter if necessary).
2. Place the .ogg file in the following directory inside the wallpaper folder:

   /resources/sound/backgroundAudio.ogg

3. The sound will automatically play as background audio when the wallpaper is active. Volumen can be changed in settings.

Enabling Weather API Integration

1. Get an API key from OpenWeatherMap.
2. In the Wallpaper Engine wallpaper settings, enable the wallpaper, copy the API, and set the town. (The wallpaper updates the weather every 3 minutes.)

Customization

In the Wallpaper Engine settings, you can configure different background animations based on the weather and time of day. If you set it to cycle, it will automatically change according to the time of day. The repository also includes a save.zip file that contains two Minecraft worlds for snowy and normal weather, allowing you to modify the world and record footage for your wallpaper. All recordings can be found in the resources/clock folder.

Recordings should be made with the segments turned off, and you should also take a picture with the segments turned on. If you change the clock position, you will need to modify the display segment positions located in properties.js. The segments are labeled from A to G, following a standard naming convention. The first two values represent the top-right pixel position of a segment, while the second two values represent the bottom-left corner. You can obtain these positions by hovering the mouse over the pixel in most editors, such as GIMP. The piston sound can also be changed by replacing the piston.ogg file in the /resources/sound directory.

Installation

You can download the wallpaper directly from the Steam Workshop. Or clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/blazjerman/Minecraft-digital-clock.git
