Is there a way to change the background in Icon?

I wanted to change the background of Icon so it looks like the character is standing in Mrs. Liberty's spot, is there a way to do this? Even if it isn't possible to get that exact spot, any spot in that area would be great. Just to get an actual background other than the bland base CoX background.

Use to use this in the old days, should in theory still work. :)

Edit: Just spent a while trying to figure it out, but I can't seem to locate the exact file that needs to be replaced to change out the background for the character creator(I can change the login and loading screens, but not the character creator background...), but if you can locate that file, the process shouldn't be too different to change it out. I just can't find the file in the piggs, but it should be in there somewhere...

If you PM me with a screenshot or a few choice candidates you want to be the BG, Gothenem, I'll see what I can do.

Then I'll give you the replacement BG file and tell you how to install it.

Try looking at \piggs\stage1b\texture_library\GUI\CREATION\HybridUI\CharacterCreationUI\background.texture. Also the background_dark and background_light textures.

I posted this in another thread but it seems like it belongs here as well...

Leo created a script that turns a costume file to a .char file so if you make something great using icon you can save it then run the script to turn it into a character file and place that character into a demo.

Takes your costumes file, and lets you place it in a a variety of places as a demo.

In the Demo, take screen shots.

Thank you for the help, but with Codewalker's newest release of Icon, the entire point is moot. Now I can go to the location I want and screencap to my heart's content.
