How do you mean "isolate"?

It only works for half of the backgrounds listed in the user.cfg file. When I isolate some, such as ~aom_pgs_greece it fails to do anything, and I just get the default Chinese background

It works now. Strange how it didn't work the first time. Maybe I did it wrong, but anyway, thanks for the help!

I did, but I'll retry. I'll let you know if it works.

Did you follow the INSTALLATION notes in the description?

I appear to only get the greek background and not the others. Does anyone else get this?

Flat textured ground and nothing else.

does "never finished" means ugly and better not use?

You need to open these maps in the game's Map Editor. Olympus, Swamp and Thundra were never finished. You can open them, too, but you'll need to copy them in "/scenario" folder first.

i just see tons of cryptic letters when i open the .scx files with editor

and i see its probably not the erebus one, theres an underground file already

-------------------------------------------------------------------

and all in all there is a disparity i dont understand:

your user.cfg seems to miss backgrounds maybe?. When i look to original scenario folder, i see olympus, swamp and tundra.scx (i guess 1 of them is addon, I dont have addon), those are missing in your file. And why your mod page here shows only 8 pictures? :p

@titanbass1 Yes, it should work like that. Never tested what's the limit for number of scenarios in the list though.

@Computeron No idea why developers deleted all that. Probably the same why Chinese DLC is so... well. You know. And for that specific file, you can open it in the editor to look at it. I don't remember which scenario stands for which background by heart, it was a long time since I last updated this mod. I reckon by its name that it's some original Greece background, meaning from the original release.

i noticed that the original game file has missing "aom_pgs_greeceorg.scx" in its user.cfg file.

why the game developers deleted that? and what kind of background is that (i guess its the erebus one)?

So, if I wanted to use the vanilla backgrounds and modded ones, I would open the cfg file and add names and spots past attractMode-scenario-8? So for instance, I could put attractMode-scenario-12 ~aom_pgs_egyptwar ?

The game hadn't been properly patched since may 2016, so I can't see why would this mod become obsolete. I checked though, and no, original backgrounds are still not adapted for widescreen monitors, the mod's fixed versions are better.

It looks like the game has it now in general? Is this mod now obsolete?

It doesn't exist originally.

How did the original user.cfg code look, if I want to replace?

Wow dude, better than all the other original AOM backgrounds. Thanks so much!

How do I change the background?

Problem solved! Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the report! Can't fix the problem so far. It seems to me to be a developer's mistake, I reported the problem in patch discussion thread. For now you can use the trick to get the mod back to work:
Copy "user.cfg" from "DRIVE:\Steam\steamapps\common\Age of Mythology\mods\Menu Backgrounds\startup" to "...\Age of Mythology\startup".

So I see this mod has been labeled desync sensitive, maybe that has something to do with the sudden non-function?

I also noticed that sometimes the background would flash as if trying to load another one, but then being forced back into the greek background. I hope you can figure out something it accomodate the new patch soon. Since this mod is quite the essential mod for me now. I honestly loathe the greek background...

Ever since the 1.8 patch I seem to only get the default greek background, does anyone have similar problem since update? It worked very well in the past.

Great Mod! Thanks

Check if the mod has highest priority of all mods that affect menu background that you've installed.

I don't seem to be getting any of these in-game.

This is perfect, I was rather sick looking at the same greek background all the time.

Great idea! I love that mod too. Just wrote to it's author, let's see if he can do something )

Desync Sensitive - that means the mod is sensitive to desynchronization with it's latest version, which is not quite true actually, but those categories are set automatically depending on the files changed. And scenario stands for those backgrounds are actually scenarios.

what does it mean by "dysync sensitive scenario"?

Could you please make a screenshot?

Nice, but the 2 Atlantis screens have issues at a resolution of 1920x1080, the screen gets cut of in the letf and right top conrners, the others seem fine.

I thoght its only includes original backgrounds

You can't. They are switching randomly

How do you choose your background?
