Post Your FF Background

Post your Fortress Forever background.

If you have modified the background for your own, post it here! Here's mine:

We need an option to easily change your FF background, immediately to the right of the option to change your spray. I've already made a pic of it somewhere, oh here it is:

Which leads to the obvious question..How do you change the background??

I know there are some things to consider. These are more things that i would ask about.

1) Take an ingame screenshot??
2) Save it somewhere on your harddrive?? (Is there a particular format it should be saved in??)

etc...

I think you'd have to convert it to a .vtf and replace an existing file. My guess is it is just like editing any other stuff (models, sounds, etc.) - make something in the proper format and specs (size, etc.) as the original and then replace the original.

I wonder if there's a jpeg to vtf converter that can be used online where it converts it, saves the file to your PC, and you can simply rename it and replace with the current ff bg.
