How do you make a custom loading screen?


Recommended Posts

Alright so I have looked about everywhere and asked quite a few people on how to make your own custom loading screen appear in fallout new vegas. When I tried experimenting how to do this I got everything to work except the loading screen image itself. Could someone shed some light here? I use Gimp 2.0, if that helps at all...

Is the .dds you're using about the same dimensions as the original and saved with DXT1 compression? Is it located in a folder with a proper file path? Do you have any kind of archive invalidation activated, such as the one used by Fallout Mod Manager?

The .dds is the same dimensions, and no I didn't save it as a DXT1 I don't think, I put it in the same path as the other loading screens, and my archive invalidation (to what I know) works fine. I'll check around with the format I saved the .dds, when I checked the original loading screens they didn't have mipmaps... or is that just me?

I'm pretty sure that loading screen .dds files don't need mipmaps. If you're making a new loading screen instead of replacing an existing one, you might have to create a new screen using the GECK. Just load it up, go to Miscellaneous and then Load Screen in the tree in the Object Window. Have a look at the entries there and you should be able to figure out how to make your own from there.
