skipping the level loading screen ?

[legacy-xqcmm]

It is possible to skip the screen that says " . . . Loading <next map> " when switching between levels , or perhaps just change it to a blank screen without the player image ?

Thanks!

All i kno is that u cant 'skip' it because its 'Loading' the next map?

In your mod's ini file, change this:

[Engine.GameEngine]
ConnectingMenuClass=GUI2K4.UT2K4ServerLoading

Change it to your subclass of Vignette.

I admire that you want to help, but I see you post in alot of threads and more often than not you're incorrect .

At the very least, CHECK OUT the problem for yourself before typing an off the cuff response.

It would help people more, and make you look alot better

Thanks guys!
I was able to use my own image for the loading screen. I would like to have it stay longer before the map is loaded but couldn't figure out how to do it.

I subclasses UT2K4ServerLoading and changed "Backgrounds[] " in defaultproperties to my image. I tried to put in a SetTimer() for a 20 seconds delay in SetImage() but it doesn't seem to work. Here is the code:

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

class myServerLoading extends UT2K4ServerLoading;
var material mat;

simulated function SetImage()
{

....
SetTimer(20,false);
}


function Timer(){
DrawOpImage(Operations[0]).Image = mat;

}

defaultproperties
{
Backgrounds(0)="MyTextures.Loading.loading1"

}

Even though a vignette is an actor it doesn't behave like an actor, it doesn't tick, you can't use timers. And DrawVignette is only called once at the beginning.
