Question for manutoo or anyone else if they know:

It seems like currently all courts from court01 to court14 have their respective background images which can be found in \Menu\art\bg. How is it possible to link the rest of the courts to additional backgrounds? For example for court15, court 16 ect... I tried inserting images in \Menu\art\bg however the game doesn't detect them so I'm assuming some text needs to be edited elsewhere.

Hello,

I guess you meant the backgrounds used in the draws.

Just add them in : CourtBg.menu .

[SamModder]

Thanks manu!

I have added all of them in Courtbg.menu along with their respective images in the /bg folder but I still cannot see it in game (I can still only see the draw backgrounds for court01 to 12).

Is there something I did wrong?

I'll attach my courtbg below, and also worth noting that my images in /bg are all JPEG and similar in size to the ones for court01 to 12

Change this line :

Code: Select all

SlideCfg $1 0 10

to :

Code: Select all

SlideCfg $1 0 10000

Hi Manu,

Thanks, I tried this but it still doesn't work?

I even tried completely removing this below

Code: Select all

item CourtBg01
{
   CycleButton #ImageGI
   Image Bg/Tournament 640 480
   //Pos 0 0
   //Font BgF

   OnAction
   {
      SlideCfg $1 0 10000
   }

   Unselectable
}

And it didn't even change anything. It's as if this courtbg.menu file is not even getting detected?

I can see this message repeatedly in my "System" file, not sure if it means anything in this case:

Code: Select all

Warning: can't find Item 'CourtBg00' for ImageGI in Item 'CourtBg01'

Try to change Bg/Court01 to something else, to see if it changes the background of the Clay court.

Hi Manu,

I changed Bg/Court01 to Bg/Court20 (another image that I included in bg) and nothing changed in game, the clay court still had the same image as Court01. So it seems as I said it's not detecting any changes in courtbg.menu? Is there something else that needs to be edited?

It's called from BoardDraw.menu under :

Code: Select all

//============================= Upper bar & BG

Maybe it wasn't there in older versions of TE..?

[SamModder]

I found this in boarddraw.menu:

Code: Select all

//============================= Upper bar & BG
item
{
   SubMenu CourtBg /Board/Ground+1

   ShowIfNot /Board/NbTotalRound 0
   ShowIfNot /Board/Ground -1
}

item
{
   SubMenu CourtBg 0

   ShowIf /Board/NbTotalRound 0
   ShowIf /Board/Ground -1 !Or
}

item
{
   SubMenu Board_MenuSet /Board/BD_MS_1 10 0 -2
}


add   x   -Fdx
add   w   Fdx 2
add   y   -Fdy
add   h   Fdy 2

item
{
   Image Menu/Bar01 w h Rounded
   Pos x y
   Font Bg
}

add   x   Fdx
add   w   Fdx -2
add   y   Fdy
add   h   Fdy -2

So what exactly needs to be edited/added here for backgrounds to activate?

[manutoo]

It looks correct, so maybe it means the Court.Bg isn't in the correct folder or something like that. Else I don't know why it's not working ; should debug your whole Mod and I really don't have the time for this kind of thing...
