Better splash screen

[larryfulkerson]

I found out which file is the one that manages the background for the splash screen and changed it. I'll post the
file to put in your graphics override folder on the next post below.

Just unzip it and drop it in your GraphicsOverride folder.

Nice idea, I tried one to see how it looks.





Had to juggle with the image to take into account the 'stretch' when applied in the game with whatever screen resolution is used.

Nice one Rasputitsa dude. Keep up the good work.

Here's another one for an earlier era, each screen has to be adapted for the stretch that the game applies in displaying an old format image (4:3 ??) onto modern wide screen displays. The basic image is squeezed horizontally so that it compensates for the distortion the game applies, this one is for a 1920x1080 resolution.

It's not difficult, but each one has to be adapted for the final screen resolution required.

This is what the image in the attached post above looks like. I have posted this image twice, because the first one did not show on another computer. [&:]


The zip is in the earlier post.

Here's the zip for the WW2 image.

There are massive numbers of high definition WW2 photos available. There's a very old thread in TOAWIII about this very same subject buried someplace. [:D]

The one I've used for several years:

Here is attached zip for one for post-WW2, Korea and 'Blitzkrieg 1950', see next post for on-screen image.

The image in the above post looks like this, although the amount of distortion will depend on screen resolution :

Here's another zip for 'Blitzkrieg 1950', Korea, etc., the next post shows in-game screen shot.

The screen shot for the above zip.

Here's one you can use for a splash screen. Just do a save as on the image.

A slightly different approach

Or this one

Here is the file for backgrounds. Remove the "xx" or "zz" in the file name before placing in Graphics Override folder.

Here's another way to go with background images.
