Default Loading Screen Question...

Hi folks,

How do you resize ( smaller ) or move the below circled image to another location of the loading screen?
I have a new loading screen I want to add, but the current loading graphics are in the way, namely the one below. I have played
around with it a bit but no luck yet.

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure the load screen make-up can be found in the "menu_1024_768.ini" file.

Thanks. I had looked in .cfg files

I did it another way. I cut the above out and pasted it onto my new loading screen. Worked fine and looks ok

Good, I was going to suggest you try something else.

I searched through the "menu_1024_768.ini" file and found nothing!!
If the image in question....."Intro_logo_elem.dds" was going to be used through the menu_1024_768.ini file, it would have been found under the line.....Mat 0=data/menu/loading/Intro_logo_elem.dds

No such line in the file.

So, the "menu_1024..." file doesn't make up the game's load screen. I'm surprised it doesn't, but it looks like you found a way around it anyway.

Thanks CS.

Yes, I looked at the menu file and did not see anything, and as you did I thought that would be it. I found a workaround for now, but would like to find out where that loading make-up is as far as positioning, etc. I just did some cutting and pasting and file conversions. The UBI Logo shows up in the bottom right corner in the below, the loading bar in the bottom middle. She's a beauty

I found the pic on the internet, Treveller used it for one of his mods as well.

Paint.Net is a great little program. I have a few others as well.

Default Loading Screen Question...

There are some great retro posters on the internet. Just need to be resized and converted to .dds files. Yeah, she is quite a sight : )

Yes it is. I also found it on the internet. That is the one I modded. It is not something I have released, just for personal use.

You ever try to get the Pear Harbor attack force as they're returning through the Bungo Suido?
