    Default NEW: Loading Screens Pack

    Hi guys! I've made a set of 42 loading screens for PDER (a mod like that, without its own loading screens? ), here you are.


    Link --> http://files.filefront.com/loading+s...;/fileinfo.htm


    Put this folder into your PDER root (for example, C:\...\Medieval II Total War\PDER 0.4 - BigMap\data)














    Credits:
    - Pdguru for taking these fantastic screenshots (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=119512)
    - Boicote for the background of the screens (from Portvcale http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=103905)

    Otherwise, nice ones

    Great screens! I'm going to use them as soon as I've figured out how to get the latest version of PDER working with Kingdoms.

    Nice job, VirusITA putting this together! Now I won't mind waiting to enter battle! These are lovely! Great job in getting Pdguru to allow us to use his pics!

    Thanks Socal. I had a go earlier on.

    I unpacked the Britannia, Crusaders and Teutonic files.

    Deleted descr_geography_new.txt and descr_geography_new.db (which only appeared in the Britannia's data folder and not Crusader's or Teutonic's!)

    Loaded PDER Kingdoms 0.1

    Ran PDER_Kingdoms_Copy_Files.bat

    I ran the game from the batch file and it started up fine but I found I was having the same blocky graphics problem as Neaera. I didn't unpack all the Med 2 files as I only had 10 Gb free on the partition at that stage and wasn't sure how much extra space the (36,000+) files would take up.

    I read on another thread that you were planning to update the download so that unpacking all of Med 2 would be unnecessary - so I was waiting for that.

    But there's no mad rush, I've still my old copy of Med 2 patch 1.2 with an active copy of PDER, so I can still get my Byzy fix when I need a break from slaughtering the poor damned natives as New Spain.

    Nice looking screens! Im not sure why but I get real sick of the old MTW2 loading screens.
    Question, are there new or more quotes along with the new loading screens?

    I made them starting from a set of screenshots by Pguru and i put them into Boicote's background (from Portvcale). They are brand new, never included into PDER mod (i'll merge them into next BigMap release).

    I think new quotes would be great, as a philosophy buff myself. The funny thing about the early and high medieval periods is that all of the philosophy was so second rate, and lacked any real degree of eloquence; mostly greco-roman derivative pap, even non-sequitors, that passed for philosophy during this 'slump' in europe's cultural history.

    My general 'issue' with MTW2 is that it tries to cover too long of a period. Shakespeare, followed by some 11th century nobody who says 'There was a chair, the man sat, he was proud!', hardly seems to go together.

    Nice screenies! I can definitely add them to PDER kingdoms 1.0 right?

    Yup! They most certainly do work in my copy of PDER-Kingdoms.

    When you expand the file it creates a folder loading_screen full of the new tga image files. Just go to your Medieval II Total War folder and paste the whole thing into mods/PDER_Kingdoms_v0.1a/data - and that's it!

    The next time you fire up PDER you'll see the first of many tasty new loading screens. Nice one VirusITA!
