    Default [ Mod ] Diverse Loading Screen v2.1

    MTW2 : Diverse Loading Screen V.2.1 (11/9/07)
    by AP_kairan



    This mod adds 60 new diverse loading screens featuring new locations, new theme, and the
    inevitable outcome of battlefield ( including political conflict ) .

    Improvements in the new version
    -60 additional new loading screens.
    -New transparent loading screen.
    -Enhanced quality over first version.
    -Distraction factors are finally removed ( ex. banner problem )

    Sample Loading Screens






    Sample in-game screenshots( how it would look in the actual game )





    Download/

    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 )
    unpacker - http://www.twcenter.net/forums/downl...?do=file&id=43
    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    originally made from the game of 1280x960 resolution so you will still see the detail and the depth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 )

    Im thinking of creating an installer for this mod as this mod cannot be used by some users who didn't unpack the file.

    Should I make an installer to faciliate the installation for all type of users?
    ( this way mod can be installed whether the game is unpacked or not ):hmmm:

    I used Vanilla for the 1st edtion, then Vanilla + LTC + DLV for the 2nd edition.

    For the third version, I'm probably going to use kingdom + SS + BC + prominent big mods.
    3rd Edition will show improved quality over the second version, while starring more symbolic units and distinct themes.
    Im glad that kingdom exp has many noteworthy units.

    The mod is down again, it seems filefront has "lost" your mod again. Can you upload to a more reliable site please ? Id really like to give your mod a shot !
