[Feature Request] New Load Screen

[ic3y]

An example.

This would be a really good idea - it's an easy way of jitspoe getting some extra revenue, perfect for a couple of advertisements on the page and it's just a great way of getting a big message out to the players of the game..

+1 - implement straight away.. no feature vote.. -.- waste of time.

Not hard to do, but it does require high res pics of every level, unless it was just a generic screen with the map name printed automatically over the top

[jaypeak]

this is kinda like urban terror... please put it in!

[RoBbIe]

Will each map have its own loading screen, or will it always be the same pics? and if its different pics, there should be the map name in big letters somewhere in the screen

Maybe a default screen from jitspoe and each serveradmin can make an own one for his server.

I wouldn't use it for advertising as kyu has suggested, but just to add some hints and tips for new players not to leave this game after their first view at it.

I wouldn't make a screen like this for each map, because there are hundreds of maps and it's quite impossible to have it like this.. Maybe there could be some screen from action related to hints and tips..

For example: Theres a screen showing how someone's flying through the window in shazam33

Hints & Tips: Learn to gain your speed with strafe jumping to enable faster movement and jumping. More info at "asdasd"

And it would be the same with DJ, picking up better guns, etc..

But there can't be very much text. The loading image is only shown a few seconds each time.

[JUICEY]

well this is an excellent idea. What kind of things would you put in the "Did you know?" box? Maybe how the game was developed, or maybe an intro to the map, followed by different pictures of different angles of the map?

Carpathian was just an example.

Maybe an extra window for the MOTD from the Server.

My example:


"Loading" shows the progress of the overall loading..
The blue bar below "loading" shows details of loading the game.


(background is from my PCDPmod menus)

good idea but the load times are 2 fast so it will be hard to catch anything. (or at least in my case)

Maybe a timer for joining (example: 10 sec)?
So everyone will see the news etc

I'm not sure if I like that or not - it's nice to just be at the console so you can quickly execute commands if you need to.  Eventually I'll probably beef up the loading screens, but it's not a very high priority to me.

If this gets done, a cvar to disable it and load from the console from like it does now would be nice.

It only takes a few seconds for a new map to load though. By the time a load screen would load, the map would already be loaded

And I'd rather not have it set to a timer and be stuck looking at a static screen for 10s if I know the map is already loaded, that would be a pain for matches when a team keeps switching maps    (although it would be good for newbie pubs, so the cvar xbain suggested would be required if this was done)
