ESPN gif playing at main menu; how to replace with main menu background
Topic Started: Jul 19 2015, 01:57 AM (909 Views)

Simply put, I want to remove the ESPN graphic that plays at the main menu (the left sidebar too) and have my desired main_menu_background_left and main_menu_background_right display on the home screen instead. Which files are responsible and how can I remove it? Thanks

Found the code
Code:
 
<div style="position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;width:640px;height:480px;background-image: url(../images/cycler/ESPN_Animation_1.gif);z-index:-1;"></div>
 <div style="position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;width:640px;height:480px;z-index:4;">


Do I just remove the instance and thats it?

I tried removing both the top line and both lines of code I posted above, but no luck. Just shows missing image instances... :thinking:

Removing the first line takes away the ESPN animation, which is half of what I wanted, but it displays the generic background on the main menu. I want the "main_menu_background_left/right" images to show (those are found inside fe\nhl\images2\backgrounds\TEAM FOLDER.

Any thoughts?

The main menu background is not anymore in the \team folders. Ciais fixed this for the newest version. It's in the root \screen_images.

Cheers.

What do you have in mind? :)

I'm hoping to have it like the previous versions/other mod versions where your personalized team background shows on the main menu, as well as the sub menus. But for whatever reason when I pull other offline_home.html versions from other mods I get script errors galore upon startup
For example;

I love it!

I'd use that for the official main menu. People seem to have enough of the GIF. :good:

I just want it cyan/green... it's a tradition... kinda. :D

Do you have other plans for the 2001-2002? Some roof files seem to be problematic for some users. Detroit, Phoenix and some others too.

There's a truckload of new accurately shaped scoreboards in 96-99 mod waiting to be utilized in 2001-2001:

As of now no one is heading the 2002 mod. Unless someone picks it up it will remain in its current state. Nick is preoccupied with something else and i have zero motivation for modding.
