[REL] Skyrim Style Splash Screens : III

» Tue Feb 04, 2014 4:07 am

One thing Morrowind has always lacked was diverse splash screens.

Skyrim Style Splash Screens fixes this by add 192 new unique splash screens.

Issues:

MGE XE causes a weird blue line at the top and left side when the splash screens are displayed before the main menu.

I like these a lot! Very clean and simple. Is there a main menu replacer as well?

I am not even sure if its possible to change the main menu.

Sure you can! It's a texture called "menu_morrowind" in the Textures folder.

You can even change the video that plays right before main menu (the one with fading title text) - it's the mw_logo.bik in the Video folder. I've no idea how to make .bik videos, though. There are some main menu replacers that come with new video, so they blend nicely.

You need RAD Tools http://www.radgametools.com/bnkdown.htm

I am not the artist, I just did the tedious work of converting them into splash screen format.

I could probably take a look into it and use one of the preexisting images , but I don't think it will look right if the image was never designed to be the main menu.

You should add some quotes, helpful tips and Morrowind trivia to the images as well.

I agree! Lose the Morrowind logo. Make sure the placement of the quote is persistent throughout the slides too. I notice that Morrowind logo tends to dance around. But that doesnt matter as most people rarely see two loading screens back to back.

These look really good. Maybe I will use them sometime.

At one point, I had problems loading the game when I had more than 128 splash screens installed. I recently tested it again, and now it seemed to work. Still, has anyone else experienced this?
