The load screen (from "files\gui") is this:

a 1024x768 TGA file

When loading is looking like this:

and the Background from menus is a complete black TGA file... so it's looking like this:

I thought... I shouldn't go too far from the game after all. So... how about the box cover? Big Grin


Where do you put the black one for menus..?

BTW godverdoom just convert the jpeg to a 512x512 TGS file using photoshop or something similar. The drop it into your missions folder.. I don't know how to set up the loading screen or the menu screen... but the mission screen TGA can be changed from the missions file.

Simplest way I know of (as stated above)

Backup the "background.tga" (ie. copy into a folder named "-backup"

open "background.tga" in your graphics editor

Copy your new .jpg, .bmp or whatever and paste it over the "background.tga" merge/flatten and save.

Gimp, PSP or Photoshop should all handle this OK.

I cant say for other programs but in PS you can convert a file to just about anything simply by using the Save As command.... that will also preserve your original.
