Loading Screen Question...

[ReallyDedPoet]

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 :doh::doh:

[ReallyDedPoet]

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

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. :up:

[ReallyDedPoet]

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 :yep:

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.

Well......Hellllllooo Sailor!!

[ReallyDedPoet]

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 : )

I swear that gall is in one of Travellers loading screens for his mod.

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?

No, not yet. You?

I for one would like to give ReallyDedPoet's SH4 Mashup a shakedown! :yeah:

No, not yet. You?

Once or twice back when I used to change history. Now I just wait until the battles end and pick off those still afloat.

Nice. I will get to it eventually :yep:

[Admiral Halsey]

Nice. I will get to it eventually :yep:When the ships are entering that bottleneck it's like shooting fish in a barrel.(Just watch out for Bungo Pete. That bastards got me more times then I care to count.) Also remember that Carriers are fragile and need two torps tops. You hit it in the right spot(Engine room area) and it only needs one.

Thanks for the info AM :yep:

I'll let you know how I make out. Prob get my ass handed to me the first few times :dead::dead:

Oh you most certainly will if you aren't careful. Unless it's later in the war(Think late 44 onward) i'm extra careful when dealing with Destroyers escorting a Task Force. They only used the best crews on them and they are hard buggers to shake. Really makes me glad Duci made it possible to go deeper the test depth as I've actually gone to 600 feet in a Balao just trying to shake them before.

Nice, I like this as well. Have not been that deep though.

[Admiral Halsey]

I must admit it's rare to actually go that deep. Normally you can shake them by going 50-100 feet deeper the test depth tops. Just be careful you don't go too deep or you hit crush depth and it's game over.

I'll really put that Creaks and Groans Mod to the test :)

I wish that when the subs hull fails from the water pressure that instead of hearing that valve pop off you hear a rush of water.

Be a nice effect for sure.

TMO has that, took a porpoise to 600ft just to see what would happen. Crunched at something over 500ft.

Funny. I just get the standard valve popping open whoosh of steam.

Travellers alternate loading screens mod gives you a different girl every time you go from the in port desk to the game itself. Yes Miss Bacall is one of them.

: ) Not difficult to do up a set of your own.
