Animated Loading Screen

[Ironside]

How do I make an animation as loading screen?

I think that you can't, all you can do is to create something like that fade filter when image shows up, but it will be some kind of video at map start! I played some naruto game long ago! If you still want something like that (Call it video will have poor quality ofc because we play game on full screen!) pm me and I will try to find something for ya!

You need a 'custom' loading screen model for that.
The model must switch textures every X seconds, so you get a 2D image which constantly changes textures, aka an animation.
It drains a lot more map space though ^^ (1MB with about 5 textures, while it would normally only require 200kB).

Don't ask me how to do the model either though >.>

Try messing with the models, you might be able to animate 2D textures in a 3D way.

NOTE: The animation will be played AFTER the map loads, when user is asked for pressing any key.

Just like I sad!

This is actually wrong. If you tab out to windows while loading, the screen is already animated when switching to the game again.... but however, who the puck is switching to windwos while loading these days?

Hmm, ok I'll check it out and see if it will be worth using for the extra space.
Thank you all.
