Customized TR look

Why would you want that?

  • To reduce page-load times if you have a slow connection
  • To make it look like your good old AM

What to do?

  • download the image files, from here for example
  • setup your computer so it can get to files on your machine using the HTML protocol (have a simple local webserver running)
  • setup your TR-account so it knows where on your machine to finde the local files.


Download the ZIPped image-directory

  • These files should contain all images currently in use by the game (sometimes the image file is not totally up to date, few images may be missing - bug the developers on the UBB forum!).
  • What I do is open Notepad, and type a small text like this:
    • <HTML>
    • <h1>MY TR SKIN HOME</h1>
    • I extracted my downloaded ZIP files in a subdirectory in here.
    • </HTML>
  • and save that as "index.html" (with the " " otherwise it becomes index.html.txt) in the directory.

Make your local machine talk the HTML: protocol

(if you didn't have something like it installed already).

  • Download a freeware simple local webserver program. My choice was AnalogX SimpleServer:WWW.
  • Install it.
    • You may have to tell your firewall this program is allowed to act like a server.
    • You will have to tell it what directory to use as 'WWW root'.
