custome backgrounds

[catseye]

Hi
 
yes I'm new to hal. I was hopping if one of you would know how to
make one of my own images a background for hal

[lightspeed]

just take a jpeg picture and rename it and put the word back at the end and place it in the zabaware program file (in the character file )
 example the picture is a hotel so mae it       hotel.back
place it in the hal zabaware character folder .
p.s. i just placed more new back ground pics in the share file area .

First, Welcome to the forum!!

Your characters all have several files:
Erica.jpg
Erica.htr
EricaBack.jpg
EricaStart.jpg

The 1st one will display the Erica face from the character selections

The 2nd one is the 3D figure that appears in the Haptek command window or in the UltraHal character window when you are chatting.

The 3rd one is the BACKGROUND image for that character (this is the one you want).

The 4th one is shown as a startup image.

Simply locate the jpg file you would like to use and RENAME it to your character's name. Be sure to use the word Back in the file name.

For example:
You have a character Catseye.htr. You should name your background image, CatseyeBack.jpg

You can also rename any of the other characters that you don't wish to use like Erica or James, etc.

Hope this helps a bit!
