ESPN gif playing at main menu; how to replace with main menu background

New offline_home utilizes the one and the same main menu background, because in the old system the same files(s) were duplicated 30 times in each team folder. That increased the interface size.

Ciais changed the code so that the game always loads up the same image (we got rid of 60 jpg's and over 10 Megs with that system).

So you should use the old offline home files if you want them team specific. I don't remember what code was changed but it WAS changed.

Sure I do. These are from 2011.

PS: remember to unblock -> apply the RAR package. Otherwise you'll get plenty of script errors.

Thank you for that Trent, but oddly enough it still doesn't work.
Main menu still shows the images found in the backgrounds folder.

Its very odd to me. I've used html/javascript packages from other mods and still get the same result. So leaves me with 2 possible reasons why;
1) For whatever reason the HTML/Javascript files have nothing to do with it and its elsewhere
-or-
2) Its something very obvious, and since I've been away from the game for a little while I'm completely oblivious to it (most likely scenario)

It's defined in the Javascript / html files for sure. You're probably just looking from the wrong files.

Use search button and search for the string \backgrounds.

I'll have to do some digging, but its still very odd to me that no other html/javascript packages have solved this for me, when I know its possible and i've done it before

If I really get what you're saying, you want a personalized main menu background, right Nick?
I think the only way to do it right now, from what trent said, is to get your personalized left / right image directly on the backgrounds folder. There's a main_menu_background_left / right there where the screen for the main menu is actually loaded (although I didn't check these files in the newest interface yet).

Franco thats exactly right, like the picture I posted on the previous page.
I have the default menu backgrounds in the root backgrounds folder, and every team has their personalized backgrounds inside their folder. It will display the team background on every other menu (game setup, edit lines, etc.), but the main menu will ALWAYS show the default backgrounds regardless of what team is chosen as a favourite team.
