LE Dynamic Immersive Start Screen

[Emton]

So I have this amazing mod idea. Basically I noticed that each save game has a screen shot, I thought it would be supremely awesome if the Start Screen takes the screen shot from your last save game and sets it as the background picture. So I start up the game I have a nice view of my last position and I just hop right in. But I'm not sure if the save game provides a high res screen shot, but was thinking if it doesn't possibly the mod could take a screen shot after saving and through programming trickery simply load that screen shot as the background when the game starts up next time. I wish I was a programmer genius but maybe YOU are the programming genius that could make this mod for me thank you.

Load screens are static meshes, lifesize infact, listed in the CK as "LoadScreenArt", you can add them directly ingame by using their i.d. via console command i.e.

 

player.placeatme 10BFBC 1

player.placeatme 10EB01 1

player.placeatme 10952C 1

player.placeatme 10C620 1

etc

 

Try using the rotate keys/buttons when they're onscreen. Theoretically you could create your own mesh and add it, it's certainly possible to change the load screen message as its available to view in the CK and I've done it myself.

 

But they're not screenshots. To change that you'd probably have to manipulate the source code and its not available, nor is it legal to modify afaik.

However, there is a way to use Steam screenshots (e.g. taken with F12) as a wallpaper.

 

You can take the jpegs, convert to dds, and load as a mod.

 

Unfortunately this requires a third-party program to convert the image. Perhaps someone could create a tool to automatically find and convert screenshots to dds, then move the selected one to the Data folder? Or even set up a randomizer like in Alternate Menu?
