Tutorial w/ pics!! Goooo rice ball!: + Show Spoiler +

First off, credit to Teliko, Cent, and pzea469 for providing info on a thread for me to steal Second... This is actually very very very very easy to do, but you need to spend 15 minutes reading first or else you have a small dick.

Step 1: Two options. Download this or you can download Image converter plus (cracked version). You will need to PM me about that one or just go and find a torrent, because I don't think TL wants me to spread cracked software. Edit: Aw fuck, if TL doesn't like it they will tell me, here is the torrent : http://www.torlock.com/torrent/1075299/imageconverter-plus-v7-1-47-build-90206-crack.html

I didn't use paint, I used image converter, and I recommend using that for this tutorial, because it's a wicked piece of software.

*If you do download image converter, you will need do replace the .dll file to crack it. It's extremely easy, and the torrent should provide instructions on how to guide your dumbass. Then you will probably have to restart your computer. Once you have done that, on to the next step!

Step 2:
http://www.zezula.net/en/mpq/download.html <-- download an MPQ editor. This will open up your MPQ file so you can FUCK with it.

Step 3: Once you've downloaded your program, you need to find your MPQ file. Oh and download the correct version for your OS.. Common sense you useless fuck...

***********BACKUP BATTLE.NET MPQ FILES BEFORE ANY MESS AROUND***************
So...... open Ladik's MPQ Editor, then go to the top right, file... open MPQs. Your MPQ SHOULD be located @ C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft II\Battle.net Once you have accomplished that should have something like these two pictures! If you don't, turn off your computer and cry in a dark room.
[image loading]
[image loading]

Step 4: On your left, you will see a folder named 'shared'. Click on it, and stare at all the files.. You should be at this point: [image loading]

You need to double click on each - hah, just kidding. You actually don't need to do anything! Just keep that open aiight?

Step 5: The fun part! Go find pictures! Hot, funny, pokemon, adult diaper porn, kpop, whatever the fuck you greasy nerds look for.

So, after your 43 minutes of searching through Asian porn to find that one perfect body, you right-click save your picture. Use paint or imageconverter to convert your image to a .dds file.
[image loading]
[image loading]

Step 6: Because 'Cent' was so handsome to provide us the correct files, you don't need to go searching through that shit-stack(bunch of files in MPQ) for a shit-needle(certain file). You can just refer yourself to THIS!

c9a309d4dd98195a94c061fb6e4a698c9668740c.dds - Home Background
01110e2102da23d81a9ade8db2578e4711555663.dds - Standard Menu Background
c12ca1f639f313ba31e40e2d0671d789dd92b37b.dds - Random background in quickmatch
38ce15e9795375b3da85a7a2a5f2e616f9915f34.dds - Terran background in quickmatch
edb3d6511b5e5e026a4f9905ba926e2e465d323b.dds - zerg background in quickmatch
36276c7561a180810757b037865c7c34e08ce351.dds - Toss background in quickmatch screen
f8d9af948f117cc961795193c5185630751f7144.dds - Multiplayer Join/Create Custom background
a4479d8a457b3a2852450356343e36eedf01fba2.dds - Multiplayer in-Lobby background

What the dick is that? It's what you will be renaming your 'pictures' to. Keep your purse on, and let me explain...

Step 7: Now you have your .dds file (after converting your normal one using paint, or imageconverter), all you do is simply rename it to the according info above ^^^

*For the unbelievably blonde, Example... Derrrr I wanna have boobs on terran option.. So I rename 'hotasianbabeyoucouldnttaketochurchwithyou'.dds to '38ce15e9795375b3da85a7a2a5f2e616f9915f34'.dds

Step 8:
You have your renamed .dds file, so all you do now is drag and drop it into that big pile of ass on step 4.

2 windows will pop up :[image loading] Click OK

[image loading] Click yes.

Step 9:
Congratulations! Your power level is now over 9000. You lucky dogs get to enjoy my girlfriend too! I told her, she looks like a dog pooping, you can't look away. Her heart melted, along with the 4L tub of ice cream she was chompin down. She's very pretty, you don't need to tell me.
[image loading]

*NOTE* YOU CAN NOT HAVE MPQ EDITOR OPEN AT THE SAME TIME YOU OPEN SC2. IT WILL NOT WORK. DO NOT SCREAM AROUND YOUR ROOM THINKING YOU WRECKED SC. YOU ARE JUST DUMB. THANKS!




Hey. So I've decided to show off some backgrounds. If you like them, in the above spoiler is a tutorial on how to do it. Cheers.

P.S. I know about the possible ban, etc. Don't post that here please! :D
Edit: I hope the last picture isn't NSFW... for some fucked up reason, I can't spoiler it - the picture doesn't work? Weird.

Edit:edit: Picture sources+ Show Spoiler +

You should put the last image in a spoiler tag.

My favorite is the 3rd (from the SFW ones ofc...^^). Where did you get that one?

OMG!!@@ I can't believe there is mission hill fans here! Woo It's my favorite cartoon ever. Did you know they had 6+ pilot episodes for the next season, but for some unexplained retarded reason the network decided to part ways? If you know of any memorabilia that is off ebay for that show, please PM me. Thanks :D

I'll try and whip up a tutorial on how to create your own. You can literally put anything you want back there, and it just looks awesome almost every time.

hey i managed to change my background..

however, I can't seem to change the image to a different one now (it's stuck of the same picture after trying to replace it 40 times).

Also i did back up my MPQ file and when i replace it the backgrounds still stay the same.

any help?

Hey, I noticed that for Protoss and Random, the image fills the whole page. For Terran and Zerg, the left side of the image is cut off. I thought it was only me, but when I paid close attention to the example images, I see that in Ricewife's example, the image is cut off at the left for the Zerg quick match. Is this something that can be fixed?

I'm guessing the picture just didn't fill in the coordinates exactly, like the size of the image is 1504x808 and if you don't crop or resize it you get blank space.

Also, I am looking for the loading screen w/Jim Raynor. Do you know how I can sort through the images to find it, like, is there an easier way to go about searching?

This modifying only affects the presentation of the display screen and has no effect on gameplay. It will not result in banning.

Anyone notice that the terran and zerg quickmatch pages are off? It cuts off my image on the left side a bit.

Maybe thats why you are having problems as well alokin.

edit* I will try resizing my image and see if that works.

I don't know how to make a thread, so i'll just piggy back on your thread.

I've made a Linda Le theme for SC2 and i'm willing to share it
It's my first theme, so please don't expect TOO much.

I followed the guide here and at:http://elusive-teliko.blogspot.com/ (very good imho)


Thanks for the tutorial, and here's what I made:

It might be quite a while since this post was up, so im just asking. How big is the risk of getting account banned for doing such as this ?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ what can I say?

I've never heard anyone getting banned. There was a rumor that made everyone nervous.

You CAN get banned tho for modifying sounds

ei, have a dark shrine sound like a nydus worm, etc.
