    • EVN: Loading Screen Replacement


      I currently trying to replace the Nova loading screen with my own but I can't seem to get it to work, the picture keeps on appearing but it's very small. I know I have the correct ResID but I'm unsure of the dimensions or format being correct. Currently the pictures dimensions are 832 x 624 pixels and I've tried all the pict format outputs in Photoshop 5.5. So far I have no luck with the Nova bible insane jumble of info, even though I know the info I want is in there. Any help would be appreciated.

      Sorry about the briefness of this post but I'm in a bit of a hurry.

    • Make sure your image has 72 pixels/inch resolution, then save as a copy-Pict Resource. Open your file in resedit, and select the main image, NOT the thumbnail.(open them both up to make sure.) Copy the main image into your plug-in with ID 131 and done.

    • As for the dimensions, you can just copy one of the existing landing pictures into Photoshop and check its size. I think it's something like 612x285.

    • Thanks for the help. I dropped the res to 72 and it works properly now.
