Loading progress text relocation.

[smoth]

Can you guys either orientate the loading info either on the upper right or aligned more to the bottom of the screen? It makes having informational loading screens difficult as the text covers the middle of the screen.

I say let mod authors pick where it is with scales of 0->1 and allow them to define color (rgb) and thickness. Problem solved, and with defaults if not specified

that would be nice but in the mean time a simple relocation would be great.

0->1 as in 0% to 100% height? That would be a lot better...

imo loading screen text should be rendered with black outlines. Try reading your progress of white txt displayed on the background pic of a big white explosion ro a snow map.

It bothers me because it is SMACK in the middle of my load screens.

Sooo, I sort of did it

Over here, the loading text position/size is read from gamedata/loadscreen.tdf:

Code: Select all

[loadpos]
{
	LoadTextX = 0.3f;
	LoadTextY = 0.3f;
	LoadTextSize = 1.5f;
}

Screenie using this config:

and something else:

I'll post my modifications once I put in some decent error stuff.
