Adding Layers

Geometry Dash

To add a custom background layer to a Geometry Dash menu, follow the example below. This demonstrates how to add a background layer in CreatorLayer.

#include "../SwelvyBG.hpp"
#include <Geode/Geode.hpp>
#include <Geode/modify/CreatorLayer.hpp>

using namespace geode::prelude;

class $modify(MyCreatorLayer, CreatorLayer) {
	bool init() {
		if (!CreatorLayer::init()) {
			return false;
		}
		if (Mod::get()->getSettingValue<bool>("show-creator")){
			if (auto bg = this->getChildByID("background")){
				bg->setVisible(false);
			}

			auto swelvyBG = SwelvyBG::create();
			swelvyBG->setZOrder(-2);
			swelvyBG->setID("swelvy-background");

			this->addChild(swelvyBG);
		}
		return true;
	}
};

External Mods

For external mods that modify the background of a specific menu, you can use the following example. This shows how to hook into GlobedLevelListLayer to add a custom background.

#include <Geode/Geode.hpp>
#include "../../SwelvyBG.hpp"
#include "../../Hooks/Hooker.hpp" 
using namespace geode::prelude;

Viper_Hookclass(GlobedLevelListLayer) {
        if (auto bg = this->getChildByID("background")) {
            bg->setVisible(false);
        }

        SwelvyBG* swelvyBG = SwelvyBG::create();
        swelvyBG->setZOrder(-1);
        swelvyBG->setID("swelvy-background");
        this->addChild(swelvyBG);
}

This way is new from v1.6.0+!

External Mods Fix

For external mods that really don't like you to modify the background of a specific menu, you can use the following example. This shows how to hook into cvolton.betterinfo/CustomCreatorLayer to add a custom background.

Please do not do this unless like in this example it's the only way since Viper_Hookclass won't work on it!

#include <Geode/Geode.hpp>
#include "../../SwelvyBG.hpp"
#include "../../Hooks/Hooker.hpp" 
using namespace geode::prelude;
// class name to store in code, Hook to (the real layer id)
Viper_Hookclass_Scene(cvolton_betterinfo_CustomCreatorLayer,"cvolton.betterinfo/CustomCreatorLayer") {
         if (auto bg = _This->getChildByID("cvolton.betterinfo/background")) {
            bg->setVisible(false);
            SwelvyBG* swelvyBG = SwelvyBG::create();
            swelvyBG->setZOrder(-1);
            swelvyBG->setID("swelvy-background");
            _This->addChild(swelvyBG);
        }
}

This way is new from v1.6.0+!
