Well, it depends on what images you want. If you don't want to have soccer balls in your zone, scratch that. If you don't want flags, scratch that too. Get me on this? Make images only for images you intend on using. You can also mod the other images, such as icons.bm2 (items on sides of screen), disp.bm2 (Displays your flags, freq, and bounty in top right of screen), and numerous others. Just play around with it until you get some sort of color theme or iimage theme you like.

If you only have a few, you could simply put them in the server folder, and in your .cfg type:

Quote:

[Misc]
Levelfiles=file1.blah, file2.blah, file2.blah etc etc

I believe there's a maximum of 255 characters, so you can't have that many files on that line. The alternative, as you stated, would be using an lvz. Once you create the lvz, place that in the server folder, and then in your .cfg type:

Quote:

[Misc]
Levelfiles=lvzname.lvz

you can't really remove graphics, you can only replace so they don't appear to exist

lvz is really not complex, if you need help we're here

Post subject:

to make a background you just pick an image and make it a mapobject over the entire map - use tiledmajick to get coords

-------

you can also alter colors.bm2 (replace with .lvz)

Row 0 = Background color

but I'm pretty sure the stars remain above the background and colors.bm2 is a buggy hoe, so I recommend just placing background images with .lvz

-------

the actual background images (not the tiny little stars, but the little planets and things) can be altered to blend in easy (replace with .lvz)
