Title: Loading screens
Post by: ShadowGorrath on September 11, 2008, 06:11:43 am

I see them included in the vp file. The images are JPG, and specified in the missions as a custom loading background. But in-game they can't be seen- the game loads the default or mediavp load screen. Why is that?

:bump:

I'm curious about this too, especially if it turns out to be a bug. :)

Unspecified file  extension in the mission?
Wrong image size?
Jpg format unsuported for the interface?

Hmm. What image file types did the game engine support? I seem to remember some of the loading screens working. But not nearly all of them.

Yeah that drove me crazy (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,49857.0.html). I had them showing when they were extracted in my /data/ folder (in the /missions/ folder, though it didn't really seem to matter where they were placed)

Although I can't remember if I ever tried it as pcx or not...

Someone forgot to add *.jpg files to the acceptable extensions to files in the "interface" subdirectory.

O hai

Dunno if I'm late or if I happened to use the most difficult method regarding this issue, but I rudely converted the .jpg loading screens to .tgas. Available here (http://koti.mbnet.fi/reiler/FunkyFreeSpaceStuff/00-bploadingscreens.zip).

At least they work on my end.
