Issues trying to make an ultrawide loading screen mod

[ModdedMeghan]

So I was wanting to make a mod to replace all the loading screens in fallout 3 with 21:9 images, but I've run into a problem.

 

Although the actual game runs perfectly fine at 21:9 apparently the loading screens dont?

All of the images I'm trying to use are forced down to a 16:9 aspect ratio. This is made even stranger by the fact that the loading screens do actually use the entire screen space. The text for tips, current level, ect appear off to the side; but the actual loading images are forced down to the smaller size.

 

I'm really at loss for what to do here.

At first I thought maybe the conversion to .dds was somehow forcing the new aspect ratio but that's not happening

 

I've tried every .ini tweak I can think of, I even went to the trouble of checking a list of every known possible variable. Nothing.

 

The only things left that I can think of are FOSE or maybe some sort of weird hack with DarnUI (though I really doubt DUI can do something like that)

 

But maybe I missed something

 

If anyone has any possible idea of something that could work I'd be more than happy to hear it.

 

Thanks for your time!
