Are there any tutorials on how to make custom loading screens?

Make your image. Name it "loadinglegal" and save it as a TGA file.

Put the TGA into a VPP file in your multi/SP folder. Done.

If its part of a mod then just put in the same VPP as the mod.

Hmm, I am not sure if there is any particular specifications for "loading screen" but I would recomend to make same sized as original is.

I will find this out.

Thank you. Also the buttons. Is that the same, just extract a file and edit it in photoshop? Also, I know the loading screen scrolls, is that pretty easy?

640 x 480 is fine but you can make it bigger if you need more detail.

Download this for a guide to making interfaces/menus for Red Faction. Made by MightMike.

The loading screen does not scroll, the background does.

Buttons are vbms, theyre not so easy.

The loading screen original is 640x480

Thank you guys so much. So I'm guessing not only is the loading screen covered, but the background and buttons are too in this tutorial SKA-Diesel?

If you need any more help just ask in the forums.

I would suggest downloading one of the custom huds from the mod section and see what files they modified . I sometimes find that easier than trying to follow a tutorial. Try the (Elements hud),it pretty much changed everything in the menu
