Art

Hi Diaz Ex Machina, yes, I looked and you're right, I probably deleted them by mistake, but I didn't edit the loading screens of the WH3 races. That means that you don't need this mod to load them. So the game will load the missing ones from their original data.

Hi, in the files the loading screens for Nurgle and the Chaos Dwarfs are missing. Are you planning to add them too?

@Roman Yeah I guess im pretty niche thank you anyway

Hi @Lord Commander Kane, this is not in the plans. The solution would require redrawing or cropping all the original wallpapers to atypical resolutions, and that would require creating separate modes anyway. Additionally, I don't have a monitor on which to check that the loading screens are displaying correctly, so this solution will have to be handled by someone else again.

@Kane Pretty sure the author created this not with the intention to look great on a type of monitor that he (I would assume) does not own or use... You make it sound like he knew all along there would be lots of black space on your particular monitor ;)

If you "hate" the black bars, isn't the vanilla look better then? Just curious <3

@Roman This may be off topic but is there a way to maybe create a version for ultrawide monitors because I hate the black bars on each side. Keep up the good work

Please add more graphic for the empire (Gelt for Gelt, Franz for franz ect...)

@Letharlynn; Thanks for your feedback! Yeah, you're absolutely right, I don't see how I missed it at all. So the wallpaper has been replaced with the correct one. Thanks for your keen eye.

Love the idea of the mod and the way older races' loading screens now look! There's one exception, however: the Empire's loading screen seems to be using the unfinished version of the original art - it's missing some objects in the background as well as a lot of detail work on soldiers and Gelt's robe. If the final image can not be accessed and cleaned up, would it be possible to make a version with some alternative art used in its place?

i spent so much time looking for this mod weeks ago thhhaannkk u i spend so much time loading new campains for the right hero that triggers me so much haveing those stupid borders

@stevens2222; These wallpapers are the result of Photoshop editing, retouching, cropping and upscaling to 2560x1440 pixels. However, you can pull them from the data file of this mode using appropriate tools such as Rusted PackFile Manager.

WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD THESE IMAGES FROM?

thank you - and it makes sense.

@Vaxar Kun; yes, it will be created separately. I don't want to modify this mod anymore, because the idea of this mod was to edit, crop and clean up the original wallpapers, so I want to keep it. Those who are not satisfied with this solution and want more diversity among lords, this second mod will be for them.

is that going to be fully separate mod?

@NoVaK; Yes, I'm already working on it. I'm planning on releasing a new mod that would add some unique wallpapers to other lords, but I only want to work with official artwork so as not to break artistic consistency, and unfortunately those weren't created for every lord. The plan is to replace the original wallpapers for the Chaos faction, Emperor Karl Franz, and the lords added in the DLC.

It would be awesome if Yo could add additional loading screens for example use a Orginal game artwork of Karl franz from wh1 instead of Gelt while playing as Reikland

So good to see warhammer I artwork without the borders

Thank you very much for this mod, I've been always be triggered by the lack of loading screens consistency and the size of the old ones into Wh3.

I enjoyed WH2 artwork but hated how much was cropped in 3. Thanks.

And now it's fixed, here's a Like, a comfy, and a sub

Thank you for one hella nice job!

Thank you for your work and the quick correction!

Indeed. Thanks for the quick action and the positive reaction to the comments!

We all learn, the best part is that you corrected it. That makes you the hero!

I get it, this is my first mod and I'm just starting to understand how these things work. Thank you all!

@Roman Cheers for that. I've had NUMBEROUS situations where people datacore edit and it has f-ed me over hard. Also don't forget to remove the entries you do not touch

Thanks for your feedback guys! You're right, but I figured that the data doesn't even need to be there and that I just need to replace the wallpapers in the UI directory. So the mod has been updated and the data__ package removed. Everything should work fine. Thanks!

@CandleWick Taken from "Modding Frequently Asked Questions
By Cryswar" ----- "Don't forget to rename the table! leaving it as data__ is called data coring, making your table COMPLETELY replace the vanilla one, and will destroy compatibility and probably cause crashes. The name doesn't have to be unique within the pack (you can name everything malekith_bacon), but should be unique compared to other mods (so maybe crys_malekith_bacon)."------

@Guvenoren
What does datacoring mean in this context?

Ok, i checked the tables, PLEASE DO NOT DATACORE. Can you please remove the entries you are not editing and rename the table? Rename the "data__" into something else.

Wait is this mod datacoring. I will need to take a look. Datacoring should be mentioned in description. It can really screw users over.

Vaxar Kunn: I tried to keep it as simple as possible to avoid any compatibility issues, so I only changed the loaded wallpapers in the data.pack file ui -> loading_ui -> load_images here I only replaced the old wallpapers with the new ones, all names and links remained original.

Basically I worked with HD quality wallpapers and Photoshop took care of the rest. Basically I just adjusted the image size to the desired 2K + photoshop has handy tools for replacing and removing the object. Honestly I'm no graphic designer I've been working with Photoshop for a short time but I'm happy with it so far.

(cool mod otherwise)

hey guv, i am not sure if this would solve your issues, but you could try photopea - its basically free photoshop online, but obviously not as complex

As for Roman - was the data coring of the 2 DB tables necessary? Could potentially cause issues with compatibility with mods that change loading screens for certain factions?

How did you edit it so it doesn't look blurry and smushed? Scaling images have been a rough ordeal for me. Then again I use GIMP 2 which is a free software so I guess it's a huge difference in tech.

Thanks! I'm so glad I made not only myself happy . I know it's more of a small thing, but it makes me feel good about the game. I used Photoshop for editing ;)

Absolutely fantastic!
What method did you use? AI?
