How to center loading screen picture (and removing the character on the left) (SOLVED)

June 23, 2012 7:33:49 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Can anyone care to explain how I do this please?

Thanks!



Found it!

remove character:

brush
    name "LoadScreenCharacterTech"
    content "Simple"
    fileName "Startup_Loadscreen0"
    pixelBox [ 1496 , 0 , 441 , 749 ]
brush
    name "LoadScreenCharacterPsi"
    content "Simple"
    fileName "Startup_Loadscreen0"
    pixelBox [ 748 , 1059 , 441 , 749 ]
brush
    name "LoadScreenCharacterPhase"
    content "Simple"
    fileName "Startup_Loadscreen0"
    pixelBox [ 1190 , 1059 , 441 , 749 ]

 Now change all the pixel box numbers to " 0 ".

How to center the picture and tip area:

  • Open loadscreen.window
  • change the first 7 lines (after "TXT") in:
  • characterArea [-0, 0, 441 , 749]
    pictureBackdropArea [112, 90,  803 , 393]
    pictureArea [112, 90,  803 , 393]
    tipBackdropArea [110, 450, 803 , 176]
    tipTextArea [310, 520, 550 , 100]
    barBackdropArea [175, 633, 663 , 55]
    barProgressArea [180, 633, 679 , 55]
  • Save and done!

Go to the window file and open the LoadScreen Brushes file.The first 3 entries should be the load screen characters and looks like this:

brush
    name "LoadScreenCharacterTech"
    content "Simple"
    fileName "Startup_Loadscreen0"
    pixelBox [ 1496 , 0 , 441 , 749 ]
brush
    name "LoadScreenCharacterPsi"
    content "Simple"
    fileName "Startup_Loadscreen0"
    pixelBox [ 748 , 1059 , 441 , 749 ]
brush
    name "LoadScreenCharacterPhase"
    content "Simple"
    fileName "Startup_Loadscreen0"
    pixelBox [ 1190 , 1059 , 441 , 749 ]

 Now change all the pixel box numbers to " 0 ".

Thanks, that works for removing the character, now I want to center the loading picture because without the character it's offset

If you are handy with textures you can do something similar to dawn of war with radical loadscreens.
