Customizing the title screen

Hey, got a quick question regarding loading and title images in FO3.

As I understand it, it is possible to add your own loading screen images by placing .dds files in Data/textures/interface/loading. However, I would also like to add in my own images that display at the game startup (i.e. either replacing or in addition to the "Bethesda Softworks" and such logos that display on game launch) as well as replacing the title screen with my own image. Is this possible, and if so, where would I place the files?

 

Thanks in advance.

The specific files that are used for those four loading slides can be found in the Fallout.ini file, in the [Loading] section. Looks like this
sWelcomeScreen1=loading_screen01
sWelcomeScreen2=loading_screen_bethsoft
sWelcomeScreen3=loading_screen_BGS
sWelcomeScreen4=loading_screen_legal
sMainMenuBackground=main_background

You can either change those files to something else, or just override them. Their paths are:

textures\interface\loading\loading_screen01
textures\interface\loading\loading_screen_bethsoft
textures\interface\loading\loading_screen_BGS
textures\interface\loading\loading_screen_legal

Awesome, thank you! This is just what I was looking for.

 

Edit: And am I correct in assuming that the engine will automatically exclude those defined files (loading_screen01, loading_screen_bethsoft, etc) from the other in-game loading screens? Also is it possible to raise/lower the number of images that show at launch?

 

Thanks again

One more quick question: When the game gets to the full title screen (i.e. with the menu and all), is it possible to change the "Fallout 3" title to something else? I'm not sure if that's a texture the engine loads or if it's hard-coded into the game.

 

Edit: Okay, nevermind, next time I'll look harder before asking. textures/interface/main/main_title.dds (at least, I think that's right)
