<div class="IPBDescription">...Change able</div> Is the background skin wen u open NS changeable? I think it must be due to the fact its just a precached picture but still... How can i change it i have my own custom one.

    Yes, it is changeable (I made one for CS when steam came out) but it involves a lot of crazy cutting and sizing. I will do some research when I get back from school. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Yes. I do believe you place them here:
    C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\email@gayisp.com\half-life\ns\gfx\vgui

    That's odd though. The filenames appear to be diffrent.. I'm not so sure anymore...

    <span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>(Oh, did you have a tut for making a BG? If so, could I see it? iwouldnt mind making a bg...)</span>

    Swift ive been looking thru that for a long time and ive been wondering which one is the Background. Maybe ns-logo?. Its just its gonna have a name that needs to be consistent to the coding?

    Looking thru the tga's i see they all form into the fact of different resolutions. Like the number infront is the res. I think. e.g 640_scoreboard is the scoreboard on 640 resolution. I guess the screen at start does not change at different resolutiosn and therefore i think it has no number infront. I canntot find any more things without the number infront and therefore cant get it working... im just searchiong around from now.

    Hey Zamma, you can find it here.

    <!--c1--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->half-life\ns\resource\background\<!--c2--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

    The Main image is broken up into several tga's, for some reason.

    Yeah what you need to do is make an image 800x600 then cut it up into 12 parts and save them as tga's keeping the filenames.

    800_1_a_loading
    800_1_b_loading

    etc..

    Then that *should* work!.

    Try the customization forums, might get more help there.
