i followed the instructions and backed up the old art folders, copied the new ones but in the game i cannot change the green background. what could be the problem?

You haven't read ALL the notes in the first post:

A point to note – when first installed there is only one terrain background design for all the named backgrounds types (green baize).

And

There are now a few Terrain and Face backgrounds to choose from. The original green baize remains the default with a new Face background to match the Life Points black gradient one, but you now have plain colored, mana symbol, and modern card backgrounds to play with which restore the ‘Your Territory Background’ function. See pic.

If you want to change the terrain backgrounds, look inside the '\DuelArt\Terrain Backgrounds' folder and you'll find four folders named:

Colored (Card Backgrounds)
Colored (Mana Symbols)
Colored (Plain)
Green Baize (Default)

Copy all the files from one of these folders into the games '\Program\DuelArt' folder and allow them to overwrite the existing default files.

You can do the same with the phase strips and the face backgrounds. And in the '\CardArt\Card Templates' folder you'll find a choice between the old style card backgrounds and the default installed modern styled backgrounds.

I’ve just discovered there’s a missing piece of artwork...

Well, it appears as if I renamed the file to QuestMana-Grey.pic when re-titling them and it was lost when I matched it against the other graphics.

Thanx for spotting the issue. I'll remake the ArtMods in the next couple of days and re-upload them with the missing file included.

First,
Thank you very much "CirothUngol".
second, i did read the notes you quoted but didn't realize i sould overwrite the files the way you instructed.

actually it didn't work when i copied to the games folder but did work when i copied to the "Program\DuelArt". i guess that what you meant.

thanks for the clarification!

Indeed, I left out the '\DualArt' bit. Duh!

I seem to remember writing some instructions for each of the alternative artwork folders, and I could have sworn I'd put them in the folders before I archived the mod. Oh well, it seems the old grey matter went out to lunch that day. Maybe next time.

Anyway, you sussed it yourself, so that's good.

As requested by Sonic, your current version in 1920x1080 :









There is to note that your skin version available to download in the OP has an obsolete Duel.dat and will generate an error when copying it in the ML3 folder :



This is easily corrected by using the latest Duel.dat, but for someone who didn't make a backup he is going to be screwed

Current Sonic WIP :







I choose the Wide folder and overwrote the files, tested on 16:9 1920x1080 screen.

There is to note that an elliptical frame can be seen when hovering the main screen animated button, else everything look good so far
