Installation
1. if you are not using a mod,
simply extract all files into the following folder
Medieval II Total War\data\loading_screen
*You might want to back up your original loading screen files.
*To use with original LS, just rename your original LS to 'Loading_screen_61'
and so on.
( You can also unpack your game to have access to your original loading directory )

2 if you are using a mod, extract all files into the mod's loading_screen directory
ex. Medieval II total war\mymod\data\loading_screen
*IF you want to keep the mod's original loading screen,simply change the number of the Ls to
'Loading_screen_61' and so on
Compatibility
This mod is not scripted so it will be compatible with almost all the other mods. Only one exception is the
other loading screenshots ( other mod's loading screens ) with same file name. In this case, you can make it compatible by renaming the loading screen files of this mods or the other mod.
Note
-Loading screen is best viewed in 1028x768 campaign resolution. ( all the loading screens were
originally made from the game of 1280x960 resolution so you will still see the detail and the depth
of 1280x960 resolution in 1028x768 )
*If your campaign map resolution is higher than 1028x768, image might get stretched out to
fit to your resolution. ( it will then look somewhat blurrier than usual )
-Troubleshooting
1. Missing loading screens
-Each loading screen is given a number ( 1 to 60 ).If you happen to delete or change the loading screen
file, make sure something makes up the deleted file's number. Otherwise the MTW will stop searching for
the next loading screens and you will be stuck with the limited
loading screens that comes before the deleted file.
For Ex. if you delete loading_screen_40 game will only recognize 39 loading files, this case you will
end up missing 20 other loading screens.
2. Loading screen doesnt show up.
-This occurs when the game is not unpacked. You can install a different mod which comes without a
loading screen ( it will conflict if it has any ) then put this mod's file into the other mod's
data/loading_screen folder. ( You can create it if it doesnt exist )
