After Able72 started this thread http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=134173 and after much discussion and a request, I took on the task of putting together a set of Loading, Map (career), Single Missions and Museum screens, plus the three different Leers (Chart Tables) and nine different songs for the dockside bands to play; all in separate folders for SH3 Commander to randomize so you never get the same thing twice. Well, if you're lucky you won't get them twice in a row.

What you will get is almost 100 different screens, most of them from Das Boot, but also including a bunch made by different people from photographs, paintings and in-game shots, plus GWX and NYGM, and of course the stock game screens as well.

JScones was kind enough to prep the folders for me, which saved me some work. Who did what is in the readme, so please read it if you want to know who made each screen. Also, the installation notes are there, so I'm not going to explain it all here...but it's easy to do, so just read the thing and do it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

I will repeat the big warning here though: because it is made up of around 500 loading screens, .tga files and music files, it's 1.3 GIGABYTES in size! That's bigger than GWX2. So don't say I didn't warn you if you are short of space.

I've loaded and reloaded a dozen times or more, and it all works just as advertised. And it looks pretty amazing too.
