Custom backgrounds again

[_o_OOOO_oo-Kanawha]

I'd like to put a custom picture behind the splash and main menu windows.
I used to have one for each of my 'continental' installs in a previous incarnation of the game.
However, I forgot how and where to put the custom graphic to make it display as background.

Also, the .swf file format used in the menu's is obsolete (Adobe Flash) and editing Flash is no longer supported.

Anybody have any clues?

Looks like you want the Steam\steamapps\common\RailWorks\data\textures\frontend folder.

You can change in Railworks\data\textures\frontend\ :

- ui_splash_railsim.tga
Loads at start.
- 2015_BG.tga can be deleted.
This was used for the menu. I found no way to change the menu.
- loading_external.jpg
At scenariostart this loads when you are offline (network, not steam offline mode).

Otherwise you can change there what you want, except "TS Splash Screen x32/64.bmp".

Thanks, Kris.

Indeed, I didn't find any graphic with the Clinchfield F-unit, which is used in the current menu background.

Suppose the menus are in those .swf (Flash player) files from railworks\data\scaleform. I believe to remember to have edited RS_2013_MenuSystemMaster.swf in an older incarnation of the game with a .swf editor to get my custom background in the main menu.

Success! By using https://github.com/jindrapetrik/jpexs-decompiler and the latest Java runtime I was able to change the #311 graphic, which resembles the main menu background.
My UK install of the game now looks like this:

Some fine tuning of the picture is still needed. But, in principle, one can add his own menu background.

In fact, one can edit all interface elements this way.

Wow, thanks.
That's really interesting.
