And why? Because no action, like battlecruiser? That is 90% hidden under bnet interface.

I already run edited sounds (korean) and stronger team color... so I wouldn't dare to spit even more on Blizzards ToS and edit backgrounds as well :D

But good work, and I don't think people need to worry about getting banned, seems Blizzard have a pretty good understanding of how the edits work so they don't ban people for small things like this.

^ this. I do not understand, why you have fear vs ban, if half of you are using stronger team color mod, that changes a lot more, A LOT. Those backgrounds changes only menu, and nothing changed in game.

It's mean, you can still have unmodified game without stronger color, SC1:BW sounds, Korean sounds, but with those backgrounds, that don't change anything, only difference main menu.

Ok my enUS.SC2Assets keep only opening in Read-Only Mode..

Close the game, then you will be able to edit it. Also, don't forget to close MPQ Editor before starting game

What editor you are using?

Is there any way to make other planets ? UInar background is beautiful, plus it could be moving slowly around the star ; Korhal and Shakuras also come to mind.

Can you teach us how to do it ourselves or is it classified information ?

It's misleading to say "You will not be banned for this". It's 100% a bannable offense to do it. Blizzard has probably never banned anyone for something like this, but if there would be more people using hacks that did something similiar to more relevant files, they could very well start banning people for every change of game files. I'm not saying you shouldn't be changing your background, but you should be aware of the fact that you are violating the ToS as much as a maphacker.

There are no other planets, that are already in game. Those planets, that I've added, was already in game and you already saw them many times after matches, if campaign was finished.

But if you want, you can create your own background, using 3DsMax.

Many times blue posts, that I saw on different forums and in email letters (screenshots of them from other peoples) says, that if player starts get advatange in game, then risk to be banned comes closer to 99%. In other situations, I think, it's not a problem. It does not slows down game.

If players will have many reports for hacks, then they will be banned really. Reports regarding changed background of main menu are impossible, because no reason. Player still have same conditions, as other players, just other avatar or other decals.

Thank you very much for this Dropship background
Was getting kinda tired of the battlecruiser's one after every start of sc2... Because who has a char's background as the first one whenever they open Sc2 ?

One thing I am surprised blizzard did was make models client side. You can easily replace the models and give advantage that way. For instance, making banelings bigger so they are easier to click on, etc. For aesthetics I myself use different in-game models for some units. I've replaced the tank & medivac with the mercenary equivalent (as they look much more badass). Having stronger team colors gives advantage also as you can discern units easier than the default settings (especially in ZvZ and with banelings). Blizzard said they have no problem with this and actively encourage it, and it gives advantage. No one has yet to be banned because of it.

Thank you bureaucrats for all your hard work, your commitment to public service and public good is essential to the lives of so many. Also, for Pete's sake can we please get some gun control already, no need for hand guns and assault rifles for the public

I don't know why people don't know this but if you complete the single player campaign you without any cheats your background will change after every game. They look pretty cool and all have different feel.

Read first post please. I've already said about it. This replacement allows to see always one specific planet or dropship or clear space, not only randomly after matches. This also allows to avoid FPS-heavy battlecruiser background
