Loading screen (fixed)
« on: February 06, 2013, 06:32:52 pm »
I'm in the process of making an interface texture mod, and thought I'd have different loading screens to go with it.
So what I did was, got the picture I wanted to use, editted a bit so it was to my liking, made it the same size as the others and in .JPEG format. Also I made two images, both different sizes, (I noticed there was two of each picture in the textures folder), one 1280 x 960 and one 512 x 512. I saved them with the same name as one of the original pictures 'loading0'  and 'loading0_f'.
But, when this particular loading screen comes up it's just the ominous yellow and black stripes. I'm guessing I've don't something wrong but I'm not sure what.

I don't know why it's doing that but you could save the images as another name and just edit the splashscreen.cfg file found in your materials folder:

material SplashScreenMat/Loading0
{
   technique 1
   {
      pass
      {
         lighting off

         texture_unit
         {
            texture loading0.jpg
         }
      }
   }
   technique 2
   {
      pass
      {
         lighting off

         texture_unit
         {
            texture loading0_f.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material SplashScreenMat/Loading1
{
   technique 1
   {
      pass
      {
         lighting off

         texture_unit
         {
            texture loading1.jpg
         }
      }
   }
   technique 2
   {
      pass
      {
         lighting off

         texture_unit
         {
            texture loading1_f.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material SplashScreenMat/Loading2
{
   technique 1
   {
      pass
      {
         lighting off

         texture_unit
         {
            texture loading2.jpg
         }
      }
   }
   technique 2
   {
      pass
      {
         lighting off

         texture_unit
         {
            texture loading2_f.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material SplashScreenMat/Loading3
{
   technique 1
   {
      pass
      {
         lighting off

         texture_unit
         {
            texture loading3.jpg
         }
      }
   }
   technique 2
   {
      pass
      {
         lighting off

         texture_unit
         {
            texture loading3_f.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material SplashScreenMat/Loading4
{
   technique 1
   {
      pass
      {
         lighting off

         texture_unit
         {
            texture loading4.jpg
         }
      }
   }
   technique 2
   {
      pass
      {
         lighting off

         texture_unit
         {
            texture loading4_f.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material SplashScreenMat/Loading5
{
   technique 1
   {
      pass
      {
         lighting off

         texture_unit
         {
            texture loading5.jpg
         }
      }
   }
   technique 2
   {
      pass
      {
         lighting off

         texture_unit
         {
            texture loading5_f.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}

1: You probably got the file named wrong.

2: Double check if your texture is as you please.

Alex's technique didn't work. And I've checked and the file name is correct.

Maybe these textures don't work well with layers, transparency, alpha channels etc. I'm not certain what you're doing wrong to be honest. I actually managed to replace a loading screen with a photo of my cat without any problems.

I've fixed it! Apparently when I saved them I forgot to flatten the image.
Thanks for all the help guys. :) Nuzzles for all.
