In other words, if you have a BG folder in my documents > my pictures, you also have to have one (at least the same image) in the Shock folder for the BG to change..
I will work on the weather, in fact, that's the way i was trying to do it in the beginning.
You're right about th background.skin, but I have consolidated all my backgrounds under picspath. Here is my code that works even in SHOCK v5:
Code:
/Background Change Code
B,558,294,219,92,"SETVARBYCODE;LISTTEXT;LISTTEXT||SETVAR;background;$PICspath$backgrounds\$LISTTEXT$||SAVETOSKIN;background;$PICspath$backgrounds\$LISTTEXT$||RELOADSKIN||Load;PicViewer.skin",
I am going to try the backgroundpath later, but my code starts the background skin in picspath (my documents > my pictures) and I deleted the backgrounds folder from the skinpath.
