Spring RTS Engine

It would be nice to be able to choose which load screens the player will see based on his faction choice; i.e. a core player would see core load screens.

That would allow modders to give tips on faction specific units, give some storyline information, or just make faction themed load screens.

This would be nice, I've always though it was funny seeing side-specific tips on load screens.

Thanks to trepan and my C++ literate brother, it's done, patch submitted .

The only thing lacking is how to make them...

*hint hint*

Oh, yes, right, the syntax is sidename_*.jpg or sidename_*.bmp, so a core load screen would be core_myloadscreen.jpg. Loadscreens that start with other names are ignored. If no side load screen is found, it reverts to the old behaviour: it picks one among all the pictures in the bitmaps/loadpictures folder.

Committed to SVN (r3598).

you should be able to download them from UF. I dont exactly know what to do, it should just be a patch or widget or something :idea:

Zoy...

This is a patch, commited to the engine. There is nothing you as a player are going to do with it...

If I specify Human_Loadscreen1.bmp, it will load only that screen for humans, not aliens. Modders don't do anything either, it just changes how one thing works.
