Title: Custom RTS Background That I Made
Post by: BubbleBoy on February 22, 2011, 11:10:34 PM

It's proportional to the original background, but doesn't have any words on it. I think it looks way better, but I'm a graphical designer by no means. I just like messing around with stuff. I think it's pretty good considering my experience, but I'm sure someone more skilled could make it better.

Looks pretty sweet man. I downloaded it and was gonna try it as a replacement for the original, but it didn't seem to work. Did you have any problems with it?

p.s. let me know if you've copyrighted it and disallowed use of it  ;D

Yeah, the thing is, I think photobucket automatically converts photos to .JPG format. You might need to convert it back to .BMP before RTS will recognize it.

I love it. Can I get some kind of basic walkthrough on where to put it so it'll show up?

Well, if you set up RTS the way I did, go to Computer>C>Program Files>RTS (The RTS folder will be wherever you put it, but that's the normal spot). There should be a BMP image there titled Backgrnd. Take the custom image, convert it into a BMP file if necessary, rename it "Backgrnd", and then replace the image already there.

I like how you actually used the artifact symbol. That drove me crazy the first time I played on RTS.  ;D
If I set it as my background, will it show up as the background on my opponents? Will there be compatibility issues? I remember something about different screen resolutions maybe not being able to show opponent's cards, is this anything like that? If not, I'll get it in a heartbeat.
