ok. recently update is cool!
my first problem was sloved through the patch, v1.9.5.1 .thx.


so, today i got the qustion relevant to galaxy editor.


how can i operate the background image option?
this option"Genal message to the empire"is the stoty event scene.
for example, Ancient Gardian warn the past Shakturi through ancient galaxy story.
if i leave blank that option, game show the default image relavant galaxy we always see.

My first guess would be (based on intuition) to paste in the path to the file that you want to use as your background image. "C:\Windows\...\image.ext

I don't know what image extensions are accepted but I would try jpg/png/bmp for starters.

ok. i attempt your way, but it seems like don't work.
thx for fast answer.

d:\id.jpg

The next thing I would try is seeing if there is a 'default' DW directory which stores background images. Maybe the game only looks in a dedicated folder. Place your image in the folder then insert the name of the image in the box. I don't know if this would work but it would be easy to try out.

you are right. thx!

this folder path is
D:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Distant Worlds Universe\images\ui\chrome

so my favoirte image paste that in "chrome" folder.
and thread backgroundimage option that "id.jpg(filename.extension)".

thx.
