Re: [MOD] Loading Screen
They are great! I improved first post and took the occasion to add a link to your packKamer wrote: ↑Mon May 14, 2018 9:00 pm There is a little over 30 different screens that it can choose. I used screenshots from both Daggerfall unity and DOS. As well as the 3 concept art piece posted earlier in the thread.

Re: [MOD] Loading Screen
Here something for skyrim lovers
The next steps are: a) link model to tip. b)wait for modelers to make 3d npcs and enemies.
Unfortunately i can't animate the particle system because scene loading is asynchronous only when travelling from terrain to terrain, and not when loading a save. Maybe it can be considered a future improvement to always yield when loading but wait for everything to be fully init before actually "starting" the game. I imagine this may be a delicate matter though, complications can probably arise.

Re: [MOD] Loading Screen
I thought that last screen said "Cats are cheaper alternatives to horses..." I was quite bemused for a few seconds!

Re: [MOD] Loading Screen
This looks amazing well done!
It might be a hard one to tackle, yielding while loading with enough frequency to allow smooth particle animation. The actual load process is very quick, it's setting up all the terrains and world that cost the most time. It could possibly be engineered in someday.

Now that would be a mod to behold!

Re: [MOD] Loading Screen
alternatively of the silt strider we could put the catwagon
anyway for me the MOD don't work sometimes it loads image after black screen and only for a fraction of a second
and the rest of the time does not work at all only times load right is at the start after DFU settings .
This is not a criticism just to give you a feedback
infact i think it is an excellent idea and look forward in the future, and it will certainly work in the future for me too

Re: [MOD] Loading Screen
Thanks for feedback AXO, is appreciated
If the issue is that actual loading is very fast, you can set an option called ShowForMinimum which keep drawing the splash screen even if game is ready. 1 or 2 seconds should be enough to have a visual feedback without interrupting gameplay without reason. You can also keep loading screen only for save loading (which is what takes a relevant amount of time if mod are installed) and not for interior/exterior transitions which is often way faster.
If you see a black screen for an amount of time, and only at the end you see the loading screen, it may be a new issue i never experienced. Can you tell me if it happens during save or transition?

Re: [MOD] Loading Screen
when I load a savegame , it makes the black screen and then at the end a moment the screen just before starting the game
and for the rest in game I do not see changes in both case of external interiors and not even when I travel from a city to another , the only exception is if i load a savegame for first time after the intro , in that case the mod work

Re: [MOD] Loading Screen
Can you send me the game log? I don't expect much from it, but I can't reproduce this
The first valid call for drawing must be done when is already too late, but i don't know why this is happening only for you. Does the mod works fine for others?
There are two options in settings called Buildings and Dungeons, be sure they are enabled if you want them. There is no loading screen if you fast travel at the moment.

Re: [MOD] Loading Screen
I'm need to upload the 2nd update to my Oblivion Screen Pack. I plan on doing another revision to fix minor issues and change the style again to have it more close to the Oblivion originals.
Actually since I have a few extra minutes on Lunch break I'll go ahead and drop the link to V2 now. More screens, and they are filed correctly.
