Post by: Lamborghini_diablo on June 21, 2011, 10:41:47 PM: As the title says, I was bored and decided to play around with making a RTS background:

Also, its very similar proportions to the original, so it doesn't matter if the other player is using the original background.

Yeah...I'm not crazy about the random wings...otherwise it looks cool.

Epic. So how do I use it?

Go to your RTS folder (probably in C:\Program Files if you followed Lambo's installation instructions).
Open the file backgrnd.bmp (using MSPaint most likely)
Copy the picture from here, and paste it into Paint
Save the file as backgrnd.bmp in the same folder (C:\Program File\RTS)
Next time you open RTS, it should show up as your background

Post by: Gabe on June 23, 2011, 05:19:05 PM: If you do that you won't be able to switch back. :(

There's an easier, less technical way.
1) Save the new background to any location on your computer.
2) Open RTS
3) Go to OPTIONS > BACKGROUND > CUSTOM
4) Browse to your saved "new background" file, select it and click open.

YAY! ;D
