Default Background Images for EHM 2007

Post by thecoolstuff »

Where can I find the default background (aka Jussi Markkanen) in the EHM folder? I was messing around in the data folder and I wander into the background folder but all there is was the Junior League background and I couldnt find Jussi... strange. :-? Anyone knows? Thx.

Backgrounds:

Path #1: data/pictures/backgrounds/comps

Path #2: data/skins/(skin folder)/background

Path #2 is where Jussi is located.

The data/pictures folder is also also where backgrounds specific to teams like the ones I've got up form download go as well. It's the deafult non-customized bkgs that are part of the skin system, just like last year.

Post by Mickegg »

Does anyone know if it's possible to have a separate background for the Front Office screen?

Yes. Put the desired picture in data/skins/backgrounds, and name it "office" in place of the one that's already in there.

Thanks!

Is there another way to change it so you can have different backgrounds for each teams Front Office?

I know you can have team-specific backgrounds, but I don't think you can have an office screen for each team. ...At least, I've never heard of or seen a away. :dunno:

Not that I'm aware of. I use the NHL background that's in my gallery as my office background. Looks snazzy. :-p

*EDIT* Grab my NHL BG right here


Cheers.

There is only one image responsible for the Office pic... as pointd out by the guys already, because it is a skin element not in the regular game backgrounds area. :dunno:

Don't forget that backgrounds can/should be .jpgs not .pngs since all the default skin backgrounds are near 800k while as .jpgs even of a rediculously high quality they'd be like 200k. PNG is great for the games many very small elements but it gets really impractical for larger images.
