That credits (modded) button is part of the cohokum.exe file not of his theme. You'll have to wait for the next exe release.

Great work on the Apache theme! It's a great improvement over the previous images.

Thanks mate, but I think that`s just because we are getting used to the old ones. Remember when You saw the old ones the very first time ? I loved them, especially their graininess, like photos from a real combat zone... It`s just that the human mind grows tired of things it sees everyday, so let`s get some variaty in. I barely noticed the background images after some time so some new had to come... and that`s how they will end, too.

Working on a blue UI set,

There are a so many great looking shots here to use for backgrounds, why not use them all including the originals for nostalgia?

The program could randomly select from a list or a directory which screen to use each time a background is displayed. That way players will get a lot of variety. You won't have to decide which is best. The originals won't be replaced. When the originals pop up it will be like a flash to the past. I can't see how that would be difficult to do and everyone would win.

Great idea Craigmire,
How can it be implemented?

Great idea!

I`d prefer my backgrounds themed and replace them by hand from time to time. But if it can be switched on or off (eech.ini) a random selection could be a nice feature.

btw, happy Christmas and new year for everyone here, after tomorrow I`m off into holiday...

If you have a directory for each background screen category (Main, Combat, Side, etc.) then people could put whatever they want in there. If there is only one file in a category directory then it will be selected for that category everytime. I may be overlooking something but I would think Gotcha, Arneh, or lots of people could do some file work like that in their sleep.

You wanted it? Here it is!

There is an additional parameter in the eech.ini called "themes" in "[Graphics and Textures]" section. (NOTE: You must run cohokum.exe once to update it first).

If you set it to something like this:
themes=one,two,three #Note - no spaces, just commas

On startup EE will choose something randomly (for example, "two") and then...
If it is required to open
"GRAPHICS\UI\COHOKUM\TITLE.PSD"
first of all it will try to open
"GRAPHICS\UI\COHOKUM\two\TITLE.PSD"
and only when this file is missing the original file will be used.

So, you need to create additional directories, put some new files there and write these directories' names into eech.ini.

If you have more wishes about such functionality - fill free to ask.
