And how did you create the image? Did you use like photoshop for it and special font or basic font?

It's basically white text with a transparent background. I used GIMP to make the background transparent, but any image editing program would work (except Paint). Also, my file is a png and it works fine.

So, do I edit the original one logo in the gimp or create my own one with background transparent and a text on it?


RE: How do I change the menu logo? - NaxEla - 02-02-2013

The original logo file is a tga file, and I'm not sure if there is a way to edit those in gimp. I'd suggest creating your own and using white text on a transparent background.

Okay I created it, set it up but it still doesnt show. I dont understand why this problem remains and only I cant get it to work. It seems like I'm missing something in the config files, a line that would specific it or something...

Make sure that in your main_init.cfg, ConfigFiles::Menu has the correct path to your menu.cfg. (if you have a custom menu background and it works, then this value is already correct):

Make sure that in your menu.cfg, Main::MenuLogo has the correct path to your image:

YourComputer I just love you dude. It looks like you are highly recommended helper on these forums and I apologize, I'm just f**king retard. Obviously it didnt work and then I finally understood what I didnt before. "if the image isn't stored in one of the directories listed in your resources.cfg, don't expect the main menu logo to change." That was it. I had it in graphics folder OR in lang/eng/graphics/main_menu folder and it WASNT listed in the resources.cfg. I read your reply again and found out I should place it somewhere else. I put it in "main_menu" folder which WAS listed in resources.cfg and it works like a charm. Thanks alot dude, your advice is always right and I appreciate all others too that tried to help me. Thanks alot.
