Saw this new thread on TL. For those of you who are getting bored seeing that lonely battlecruiser roaming in space

Pretty straightforward and neat.

Seriously this does look pretty sick whoally crap ^^

The joys of MPQ editing... spent a few hours completely modifying the background pictures for all the different SC2 menus and also changed Taiwanese to English, haven't figured out how to change the writing to English though.

I don't know if it's true but, I heard you can get reprimanded in some fashion (banned even?) for changing backgrounds like this.

Oh, those look freaking awesome. Great Find!

This was discovered and shown a LONG time ago, still remains pretty neat though. Be careful though, there is a chance that you will get banned for it (although I highly highly doubt it, even MC had his changed and it was televised on GSL..)

If you read the first few posts of the thread, they talk about the risks involved in regards to doing this - i.e. getting banned.

The answer was basically "Technically not allowed, but its highly unlikely that you will be banned"

I think the only issue is when you are patching etc. It might become a problem. Could be wrong though

I wish Blizzard would support things like this, by actually adding the ability to add things like this ingame, with no other programs required.

I asked Blizz for permission to do this a while ago (since it says to do so in the terms and conditions.) Here is their response: http://screencast.com/t/hk6fPSn1bJ

tldr: "maybe yes maybe no" - Blizzard

Anything that changes anything is not allowed in a tournament apart from Hotkeys. You can't use the stronger team colours or any of these background edits.

As for ladder, it shouldn't give you a big advantage over someone else so I don't see why you wouldn't be allowed to use it.

Lol. "Hope our point is made clear here"


Honestly, I just assume that as soon as they put MPQ editing in the "Hacks" department they will tell all of us. Then we can just revert to the backups I hope you all saved :P

Super comprehensive list

The admin said that he created a new site for his blog: http://telikostarcraft.com/

Also, aside from customizing the background for the SC2 login menu, there's also some guides on how to change the picture that show up on the Quick Match page, based on what race option you picked. So for example if you customized the Zerg's background pic to a picture of a pig, the next time you go to Multiplayer and pick Zerg, the background picture will change to that picture you customized. The method to do so is pretty complicated, though.

You can also customize the picture of Starcraft II's in-game's Homepage to the picture you want.

Kudos to teliko for figuring this out and sharing it with the world.

It is directly against the ToS, they'll never tell you you're allowed to do it, but that doesn't mean they'll ever act on it. Like, ever.
