Title: Question about preload screen [SOLVED... kind of]
Post by: Ubel on Fri 29/07/2005 18:23:13
Just a simple question: Is it possible to make an animated preload screen? Like PRELOAD.gif for example?

Maybe you could use the intro room (intro.crm).

As far as I know, preload screens must be PCX files, which are static (not animated). And an intro screen wouldn't work the same as a preload screen. I suggest asking CJ (Pumaman) about adding that feature.

since this splash screen may only last for a milli-second on some fast computers, you may just want to open up visual basic and make a screen with the animation, then load the game from there.

Yeah, I don't think animated preload screen support is worth the hassle, since as Scummbuddy says on the vast majority of computers it's only visible for a fraction of a second.

Okay, thanks for the info.
