Character-Creation/Selection Screen Background

[Arachnion]

Well, you see, that's the thing.

I've never done it before, but apparently people in the past have replaced textures in the game with their own, hmm...

It would seem I can make things into textures the game would accept with my pigg diver.

Give me an image you want to be the background, and I'll make a copy of it into a texture.

You can PM it to me if you like.

However, I don't see how you can add files into piggs.. this is a question I can't really answer.

Sorry. Codewalker probably knows how.

From what I've read, the game checks a subdirectory named data for files to override the ones inside the .piggs with (the .pigg doesn't get actually modified in the process). You just place the files there and make sure their path matches the path inside the .pigg where the original was located.

That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure.

Download http://www.speedyshare.com/pbdMc/texture-library.rar

Stick the folder in that rar into your data directory, either live or beta, but you will then need a texture to replace the one there.

You shouldn't have to edit the PIGG file.

If you don't have it already, create a folder called "data" in your CoH/CoHBeta folder.
You'll need to recreate the path to the file in the pigg under the data folder.

If you're installed to:

C:\Program Files\CoH

The path for the images would be:

C:\Program Files\CoH\data\texture_library\....something

Yeah, I actually put up a download with the structure already made, in the post above yours

Here it is!

It's incredibly basic, I know.

Oh, also, this took me so long because I accidentally uploaded my *entire* coh graphics folder and that included the files you extracted. I don't plan on deleting them ever, so if you want to use the links there as a host instead of that sendspace site, that's fine with me.

EDIT: I see my problem has been solved! Well, the relevant part is my offer of the hosting now

Okay, I googled this one but  the results weren't very helpful. How do I make it a texture file? I couldn't find what that format *was*.

I found some nice photoshop stuff tho'.

I'm uploading your texture. It should work since it has a different filesize than the folder I uploaded for you, that had the original background file.

http://www.speedyshare.com/eEwgT/background.texture

Download this and put it in your data folder, where the old background.texture was.

Sure, I can take your links and throw them up as alternate mirrors.

You're welcome

I've updated my links with yours, as alternatives.

Yay! Fans of pre-Corel PSP!

I have 8 installed and really do like it most. I have been a PSP fan since version 4. I own but never installed Corel PSP X (ECHS-ptui), and the three times I've been given a copy of photoshop I've immediately deleted that pile of garbage from my hard drive and attempted to forget I ever saw it.


As far as these backgrounds, I too vastly prefer the old blue-black background. It was much easier to remove. I'd prefer just a simple grey - down to black or up to white with the lighting options, myself.
