The file size this would add would be astranomical....

Anyway, the closest you can get to this is by using the standard loading screen which shows the status of all players. The left pannel will always be constant ammong them while the right will vary depending on the players choosen race. This means that you could have certain players being displayed different messages or images while loading depending on the race they are. Eg in a vampirisim map the humans would see their instructions while the undead player would see his. The problem with this however is it adds absolutly huge file size, with an estimated minimum of 500 - 1000 KB just for loading screen content.

Is it really that worth it for something people only see for a couple of seconds while their PC loads? I for one do not think so.

Well, it's possible.

I've yet tried it. but well, use the melee loading screen.

As you might have noticed, the melee screen is different depending on what race you're using.

Import a loading screen using the "4 images" technique. and then replace the paths accordingly. That's all i can say
