How do I change the game background image for my player?

Postby luckylavs » 06 Jan 2014, 19:34

The original game had an option to set some type of background drawing if your deck was primarily white, or if it was red, blue, green, or black. There seemed to be 5 different possibilities. I am talking about the drawings that appear underneath the cards in play -- there is one drawing for your player, and one on the top of the screen for the computer player.

I would like to know if it is possible for me to create my own image here -- and if so, what type of image would I need to create (.jpg, .bmp, etc.), the path/file name of the file I need to replace, and what the dimensions that these images have to be.

Right now, I have "line drawing" selected in options, but it's just flat boring table.

Those files should be in the Duelart folder.

Specifically,
  • Terr_BlackMana.bmp
  • Terr_BlackPatt.bmp
  • Terr_BlackPict.bmp
  • Terr_BlueMana.bmp
  • Terr_BluePatt.bmp
  • Terr_BluePict.bmp
  • Terr_GreenMana.bmp
  • Terr_GreenPatt.bmp
  • Terr_GreenPict.bmp
  • Terr_RedMana.bmp
  • Terr_RedPatt.bmp
  • Terr_RedPict.bmp
  • Terr_WhiteMana.bmp
  • Terr_WhitePatt.bmp
  • Terr_WhitePict.bmp
Ideal dimensions depend on your screen resolution and whether you use the standard or advanced layouts. I suggest taking a screenshot and measuring.
