TwitchHypnotizeput it in your custom hud folder (hud folder name/materials/console)
rename the backgrounds background_upward and background_upward_widescreen
you don't need to edit the mainmenuoverride file if i'm not wrong, at least this work for me
what wound up working for me was putting the vtfs in a tf\custom\my_custom_stuff\materials\console directory, and renaming them like you said.
The only issue I'm having now is that when I very first launch the game, the custom image looks perfect, but then after all the menu options and stuff load it becomes rather pixelated, any idea what would cause this? do I have to set some special settings when I convert it in vtfedit?
Is related to the "mat_picmip" command i think so if you have set it to 2 the image will be pixelated.
in the vtfedit after that you select the image, you have to uncheck the "generate mipmaps" box
And if you want the same image even when the background changes just create a text file called "chapterbackgrounds" with this inside:
"chapters"
{
1 "background_upward"
2 "background_upward"
3 "background_upward"
4 "background_upward"
}
"BackgroundMaps"
{
1 "background_upward"
2 "background_upward"
3 "background_upward"
4 "background_upward"
}
and put it in your hud scipt folder. I don't know if the CMYK hud already have it
