*** These two can be problematic. Not recommended to swap TO these two from other DDS images unless you're willing to spend some time in Photoshop. If that's not an issue, go to http://telikostarcraft.com/modifications/customise-background-images/ and scroll down to the section titled "Photoshop" to learn how to do these properly.

One request per post. If your request has been completed, you may only make another request if there is no one else waiting for theirs. If you request two at once, I'll ignore one.

All requests must be acceptable for public display (i.e. no porn/camwhores/gore) It has happened.

Do not spam me with emails/PMs asking why a request might be taking so long. I'll do them when I have the time. If you remind me, your request will be ignored.

Do not give me a description of an image you would like. Link the image you want done, the background you want it done for (main menu, T, Z, P etc) and make sure the image is decent resolution. Images smaller than roughly 1200x600 will probably turn out shit as I'll have to stretch them. Recommended minimum dimensions are 1500x800 or 1300x800 for Terran and 1400x800 for Zerg. I'm not going to hunt down a high resolution version of your image if you only post a thumbnail.

Do not ask me to PM you a link to the download when it's done. It'll be posted in the thread in bulk along with all the other requests. It takes you a lot less time to check if I've posted it yet then it takes me to make it. If you don't want to be checking every day, just wait a week and check back then, it rarely takes me longer than that to finish requests.

Take the effort to rehosting your desired image to a website like imgur or fileshack to minimize the chances that I won't have access to the image, making everyones life easier.

Do not show off your own work unless you're willing to share the download link. This obviously isn't really related to making a request, but if you don't share your work, all you're going to do is annoy people by showing off. It's not going to be appreciated if you keep it to yourself.

Download MPQEditor.

Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft II\Battle.net and open Battle.net.MPQ using the MPQEditor (Backup the MPQ somewhere safe first incase you want to undo the changed you've made later.)

When browsing inside the MPQ via the editor, navigate to Battle.net\Shared and drop the download in there, replacing the previous file.

For loading screen images, you need to go to C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft II\Mods\Core.SC2Mod, open enGB.SC2Assets with the MPQEditor (could also be enUS, zhTW, koKR, ruRU etc based on region you play on) then navigate to Assets\Textures and drop the DDS there, remembering to backup the MPQ first incase you change your mind later.
