I would like the normal default Balasz one with sky background in all levels. So, same as what he is asking for but with the pictures and sky, but just not that background so you have to exit eol and change settings to be able to höyl some levels.

You cannot fix the issue with different LGR. You can either use eolconf to set default ground/sky on, but if you want to still have textures other than ground you can edit the elma.res directly with some hex editor for example, and define all the internals to use sky background.

I used this program back in the day: http://kopasite.net/up/yx4nvkm015s1we6/PropRepl.rar

This is Properties Replacer 1.0 by ASF, as shown here: http://www.moposite.com/stuff_programs.php
"Change the Internal Levels' back/foreground textures."

With it you can specifically select what background and foreground you wish to use for each internal level. I don't know if it works for other versions than 1.0, but once set, it will work for future versions. Worth a try anyway. The .exe file probably needs to be in your ElastoMania folder.

I downloaded the newest version of eol and the same bazals default lgr works different on my old eol and new eol. I mean in new eol i have default sky (ground is ok) on all levels although I turned off option 'default sky/ground' in eolconf.exe. The other thing is that in old eol bike hides behind some pictures (for example at Uphill battle start), whereas on new eol it doesn't. Why is that happening? It's not a matter of lgr because i used exacly the same in both.

I downloaded my old client in september 2010 and it is called EOLBeta. I think the new one is different. EOL level pack was added and maybe something else changed.

In eolconf.exe there is an option to tick 'Pictures in background', I believe this is the case. Default sky (and not default ground) is just impossible to have.

Pictures in background works. But i really have not default ground and default sky. Check screenshot. However on level 19 sky is not default on lower part of level (as it should be).
http://kopasite.net/up/1/snp00002.pcx

Edit: I figured it out. It's a matter of elmas.res file. Program SveinR posted edits elma.res file. I had elma.res in new eol that must have been edited. However this version of program doesn't work with my eol version. Does anyone have new version of this program so i can edit ground/sky in eol? I suppose it exists because mila somehow changed it in this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7776Nzb0kw0

Edit: I know the solution. You need Elma.res file for Elastomania 1.0, change sky/background and then ResEdit.

It has nothing to do with lgr, what madness mentioned is for making own levs I think. However in eol with default ground/sky turned off in eolconf I have brick foreground and sky background in framework (and others which had non sky background in non eol). I believe some bug in EOL elma.res. Discovered when I made EDQ and I asked some others and they had the same if I remember correctly.

Oops, I read too fast.

You can extract pictures from your LGR using ALE, replace ground.pcx with brick.pcx, put it together using LGR_kit, set default ground/sky in eolconf and that's it.

Re: HighQ Lgr with sky background

I have better solution. I wrote about it before but maybe you didnt read. Sky/background is a matter of Elma.res file. You need to use program Properties Replacer. However it works only with Elma.res file for Elastomania 1.0. So you need Elma.res file for Elastomania 1.0. Then use PropRepl and ResEdit your Elma.res

Edit:
Btw: What is the diffence between:
1. ResEditing Elma.res file to Elastomania 1.2 and then to EOL 1.3
2. ResEditing Elma.res file directly from 1.0 to EOL 1.3 .

EOL works both ways but this page (http://wiki.elmaonline.net/Installing_EOL) says 'Make sure your Elma.Res file has been updated to version 1.2'. Also Elma.res files have different sizes if made different ways.

Ok one more question about sky ground related stuff. In my elma sky background looks like is this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0bVTyZH5DE
I mean there is a line that divides the sky into two parts. Do you guys have the same? Why do i have it and how to remove it?

Re: HighQ Lgr with sky background

yes, it is caused by sky original picture resolution. For example, if you are using 1366*768 reso, the sky background is formed by "sticking" multiple masks together. The sky mask is not done perfectly, so the edge is visible. This can be overcomed by making bigger sky picture, or making the sky picture fluent from bottom to top and from left to right. (bottom edge will have same colors as top edge, same with left-right.)

Re: HighQ Lgr with sky background

Post by Tigro »

you dont have to make whole new lgr, just extract sky.pcx (with simple lgr program or so..), and make it fluent. The sky on video is from HighQ lgr iirc, which was made fluent.
Easiest possibility is to extract this sky from HighQ.lgr and insert it into Default.lgr
Somebody correct me if i am wrong.

I think that's not HighQ in the video, but some simpler fixed version of original sky.pcx with teh dog cloud.

Oh, this is interesting topic. I also have this weird thing where internals always have sky background. Seems like effort to fix, though, so I can't be bothered to.

internal sky/bg is changed in .res settings so you can still have any sky in externals but not in internals. i have that res so many people probably got the same from elmaonline.zip eol download, just recently learned about the res thing because i never play internals but im not going to change anyway because who teh fak wants to hoyl ints with brick background etc wtf

Ye I'm sure. It also, like J2 said, only goes for internals and only the background. Externals can have other backgrounds.

Lousku: One solution could be that program working with EOL's elma.res so i can change only internals properties.

Ruben: Do u have brick where internals has brick (upside down, quick round)? If yes maybe you have jappe2 elma.res wich i tried and has def sky on all ints but not default ground.

Okay, now I understand everything. Ruben needs the 1.0 Elma.res: http://kopasite.net/up/6k7djnc421pgqwu/Elma.res (here default/non-default ground/sky works the correct and same way everywhere)

Sla needs to edit the 1.3 Elma.res from jappe2.net a little bit if it's possible. I have the program, but it doesn't work for me.

I have already resedit.exe but i cant use old elma.res or i dont know how to edit lev's properties. Maybe im wrong but i remember there was way to change this without any program, but i cant remember and im not sure. So if someone know how to do this, please tell.

Also i dont know why Ruben would need elma.res from Elma 1.0, in this notebook that .res doesnt work with EOL.

Because it lets you play ints with non-default ground and sky. It does work with EOL, I have been using it ever since.

But why would I, though? Framework and Downhill are awful with ground sky. Headbanger and Double aren't so bad, but still better with sky.

I always wondered what was wrong with my Elma, but I honestly think it's better this way xD

Could anyone change on Uphill Battle brick to ground (elma 1.0 .res with PropReplacer), test it with EOL (so i know if it should work) and then share here? I did that but when i open EOL i get internal error, but Mad said it works on others comps.

I would just go with default ground/sky in eolconfig for that.
