Title: QUESTION: Loading Image
Post by: Dualnames on Thu 01/03/2007 20:59:27
I was wondering why AGs can't enable an animated loading screen. I just hate that old PCX loading screen, of couse you can make an fake animated screen just to impress but nothing else.

Recent versions of AGS load the game data quite quickly, so the loading screen is not usually visible for more than a second; therefore, it'd be a waste to worry about animating it, I would say.

I think this would be needed however if you are using the 3d character or room plug in. I have been using the 3d character plug in and it needs to load for about 30 seconds before the game starts. I was thinking it might also be useful to have a preroom loading screen. This would only be usefull for a 3d game so it may not be worth it to add it to the program.

Maybe that function could be added to the plugin?
