How to make a Loading Screen!

[bojan811]

I have some cool pictures I would like to use in my loading screen.
But it is not enough just to simply rename the picture extension something else is needed.
My question is what?
I'm interested in how I make my intro movie too? What is the needed for that job?
Thanks guys i know you wont let me down.
You never did.

I'm not sure about the movie... but just renaming the jpg to a tga will not work. Try using Photoshop or GIMP to convert your image to a tga! :up: Should be ok from there...

You'll find the artwork in the Data\Menu folder.

I tried that and it wont work because I need to add somehow the loading bar.

Find some artwork subs and staf.
But what to do with that.How that help?

Movies, I can't say, but loading, they go like this:

Data, Menu, Gui, Loading.

Place your newly converted .tga pics in the "Loading" folder.

... and if you want to change the loading movie choose the given dimensions and convert into a Bink movie with http://www.radgametools.com/

This is not working for me.The picture you wish to put must have loading bar inserted otherwise wont work.
I already tried that before posting in this tread.

Ok I found the way to put my intro in the game!


Procedure is as follows

go to silenthunterIII/data/Movies/Intro

and just put in the video file in wmv extension and enjoy

Simple as that!
Worked for me.

Now only thing that remains unsolved is the loading screen!

Unfortunately I just put together the big 'Loading Screen' mod for SH3 Commander. It takes 100 different screens made by others and randomizes them so you get a different screen each time you boot up the game. I didn't actually make any of them, and have no idea how.

But they don't go into the Random folders, or any other SH3 Commander folder, except to randomize them. They go into the Menu folder in the game. I think it's Data/Menu/Gui/Loading, but I can't look it up where I'm at now, so it's probably wrong - but close to that path.

At any rate, that's just where it goes in the game. It has to be made into an actual loading screen first, with the little bar on it, as well as whatever words ("Silent Hunter III, Ubisoft, whatever").
