Other New Loading Screens 2.0

Marcojrod submitted a new resource:

New Loading Screens - Alternative graphic design of the Loading Screens

This is a graphic design mod of the tracks loading screens, for now it includes only the official game tracks, but in a future update i will include the Patricks Giranthon’s trackpack and some others modders tracks.

This will overwrite original game files, but don’t worry, I’ve added a Backup Folder just in case you want to go back to the original files.

I’ve tested the files only in a 16:9 screen resolutions, so I’m not sure about the final result in other resolutions, sorry about that....

I already gave glowing review...

One ask: is it possible to put the full name of the track layout on the loading screen? I know it is, but I am suggesting it would be a great addition to make these wonderful loading screens even better.

 

[Marcojrod]

For sure, it's a good idea. I used the Reiza's original info, but we can modify this. I can even use real track names in this mod. Please help me, If you can, send me a list with the full name of the tracks that we can update.

I would just play it safe and use the naming from the track's GDB file, except for special situations like Kansai, Johannesburg and Spielburg (I think those are the only ones?). You may want to abbreviate Grand Prix to GP if that's what is better for the overall set. And, you may want to follow the same pattern as below for all F1 tracks (Interlagos, Hockenheim, Imola). The font of all knowledge is this site:

https://www.racingcircuits.info/

Johannesburg Historic 1976 = Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit
Johannesburg 1976 GP = Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit - 1976

Kansai = Suzuka
Kansai = Suzuka Grand Prix Circuit
Kansai Classic = Suzuka Grand Prix Circuit - 1988
Kansai Drift = Suzuka East Circuit - Drift
Kansai East = Suzuka East Circuit
Kansai 2015 GP = Suzuka Grand Prix Circuit - 2015
Kansai 2017 GP = Suzuka Grand Prix Circuit - 2017
Kansai Super Truck = Suzuka East Circuit - Super Truck
Kansai West = Suzuka West Circuit

Spielberg Grand Prix Circuit = Red Bull Ring
Spielburg = Red Bull Ring Grand Prix Circuit
Spielberg 2015 GP = Red Bull Ring Grand Prix Circuit - 2015
Spielberg 2017 GP = Red Bull Ring Grand Prix Circuit - 2017
Spielberg National Circuit = Red Bull Ring Südschleife National Circuit
Spielberg National = Red Bull Ring Südschleife National Circuit

I am sure you can follow the hierarchical logic

Another example is VIR (Virginia International Raceway) instead of "Virginia," which is part of the location.

- TEMPLATE: I’ve included a Template for those who want to make their own loading screen. There is a Photoshop and Affinity Designer...

Update looks great, but the zip file contains a .DS_Store file in every sub-directory. Would be great to purge those before they got copied into everyone's installations.

Great update Thanks a lot for the template provided, that is very useful ! One tiny detail : flags in the template are empty layers, apart from the Belgium flag, other countries do not have their flag.

Is this really necessary?

What are you referring to? If you don't like them, don't use them or waste your and our time commenting.

Sorry about that, I will remove those files in next update. Thanks for the info

You're absolutely right. My bad, I'll fix that very soon and release it in the next update. If you want the fixed file PM your email to send it. Thanks for the advice.

 

[Marcojrod]

Is this really necessary?

No, it is not, so you have two options, use it or not. i'm just having big fun playing with the track's design

Thanks ! Don't worry, I am in no rush
