Adding backround pictures
This is probably not the right place for this but is it still possible to add team backrounds in this game? I try to add the ones that have been posted in the downloads section but they just don't show up and i've been following the directions. Is it no longer possible to do this?

Re: Adding backround pictures
Backgrounds work fine with me. Make sure you have "Background Images" ticked in the Preferences screen.

Re: Adding backround pictures
Backround imagines is ticked. I'll download the backround pics file extract it then put it in the following location "Eastside Hockey Manager\data\pictures\backgrounds\clubs and it doesn't show up. The pic that's currently in the backround is a rink. Maybe I have to delete that first i don't know haha.

Re: Adding backround pictures
I don't use backgrounds, so I'm not sure, but isn't there a thing with different resolutions too? Like you need to have the resolution the background is designed for. Or... eeemm...

Re: Adding backround pictures
If the issue would be with resolution, then the default background would not show up at all.
This is an example of the folder path. Can you confirm that yours is identical?

Re: Adding backround pictures
PNG files work just fine, but your folder is called "backrounds", not "backgrounds".

Re: Adding backround pictures
Omg i've tried it like 20 times and i'm almost certain i've called it 'backrounds" every time. I switched it to "backgrounds" and guess what? It works haha. Thanks for catching that

Re: Adding backround pictures
At first it didn't work. It changed everything from the "background" rink image to just a blank page so i was like w.t.f but then i realized that in order to get the pics to work I would have to change the resolution of the pics to match the resolution of the game then bam it worked perfect haha. I'm so stun sometimes. Thanks again for the spelling lesions A9L3E.
