Creating Alternate Loading screens

[Mavrosh]

I created some new loading screens and they just wont show up... :(

 

What I have done so far:

I created the .dds files, they are 1024 x 512 and are compressed as DXT5 without mipmaps. I put them in the following folder:

.../Data/Textures/Menus/Loading

Then I opened the CS and added them to the others, pathed them, saved the plugin and gave it a try.

 

Well, nothing happened! What did I do wrong? My goal: I do not want the vanilla ones to show up any more, I only want mine randomly.

 

Is it better to perhaps replace the textures of the vanilla ones insted of adding all new ones?

 

If anyone has done this before and can help me, please let me know, write in this thread or pm me.

 

Thank u in advance! :)

I believe loading screens are chosen based on some conditions.

Your loading screens may work, they may just not be getting chosen. You might also consider saving as DXT3 since this is what most of the textures used by the game are configured in.
