In this tutorial you'll learn how to replace the animated menu backgrounds with static images.

What you need

7 images 1024 x 768
GCFscape
Vtex tools
TGA Thumb Plug
Photoshop 7 with tga plugin, 7.1 or CS

Setting up directoris and files

Look HERE

Take your images and open them in Photoshop. Tweak them to your liking and then resize them to 1024 x 1024. DO NOT CROP THEM!!
Rename them to "background01" to "background07" and save them as tga.
Convert them to vtf.


Installation

Place the files into your "\user\half-life 2\hl2\materials\console" folder.

"I don't have that folder!!!"

Just create it. (Duh!)
