Others have tried this too, as far as I know, the main menu, debriefing and larger screen images are hard-coded and any new user-made bmps of these screens won't show up in game.

The background images for the GUI are read from the exe resources, so you will probably have no luck with them.

Bryan - how much work would it be to switch the file lookups for the currently locked down GUIs from a hardcoded to something in a folder that's more accessible? Is this something you would consider doing when you have a chance to for the eventual .10 release?

Thanks,

Werner
