Custom Splash Screen

[SuicideBadger]

Hi all,

I'm working on a Mod and want a custom splash screen to load from my mod directory, so it can be distributed and not mess with people's UT folders.

Was wondering if someone can tell me whether this feature is supported in the current Unreal 3 patch or if we'll have to wait til the next update.

If so, how do I go about it?

Cheers,
SB.

From what I've seen you will be able to create a custom Splash.bmp file to use in your TC mod directory when the 2.0 patch is released (2.0 comes out on the 5th of March).

..but alas we cannot find out how..even with the newest patches..
Have searched through HauntedGame structure, yet nothing is gold..

Anybody got a solve for this??

Just throw a bmp called Splash.bmp somewhere in the mod's directory.

[zipstick]

..Nope tried it..doesn't work..

You're doing something wrong then. I have a 24 bit 700x500 bmp called Splash.bmp in my mod's root directory, and it loads fine.

you need a folder setup like this
C:\Users\geodav\Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UT40k\Splash\Splash.bmp

You don't need the splash folder. If you look at Prometheus, it's just Unreal Tournament 3\Prometheus\Splash.bmp, which works fine.

I will confirm that as well. I have my splash files in my mod's root. Not in a splash folder.

i don't want to tread on any toe's with this but my way is what was given by Epic, so i'll stick with that, plus it works for me

Same format I have, the Haunted has and tiki wiki has, works perfectly.
