You'll have to change to entries in your games options file. The picture or music file must be in the game directory.
For the background:
mm_root = "picture.png"

For the music:
# config.main_menu_music = "main_menu_theme.ogg"
Just uncomment the line and change the filename.
config.main_menu_music = "music.ogg"

The "" are necessary, pay also attention to the indention of the music line. It has to be same as all the other config lines.

btw, how to save our game that has complete? build distribution? then where the distribution been saved? i cant seem to find it...

[Anima]

It should be in the folder you've chosen as the projects folder. If you click Options in the Launcher and then on Projects Directory it should have the right directory selected. The game is packed, probably in a zip file with the games name.

I'm not sure what your problem is. Could you elaborate?
The gm_root variable is for the game menu, that's the menu you get when you right click in the game.
You can use either png or jpg, depends on the format of the file you want to use.

actually it has , at the end

mm_root = "picture.png",

and for gm root, i put same picture, just rename it picture2 both has , at the end..

[Anima]

True, I missed it yesterday when I copied the line. The , are supposed to be there.
The correct line would be:
mm_root = "picture.png",

Does it work with the ,?

[xelacroix]

ya it works like charm

and thx for telling me the gm root is for right click ingame...now i have 2 different picture

Great that it's working now.
Unfortunately I can't help you with the DSE. You could create a new topic if you have DSE specific problems.
