Custom Loading Screens

Credits

This package is a preservation re-upload of the original Custom Loading Screens mod by aedenthorn.

All credit for the mod, source code, and original development belongs to aedenthorn. This Thunderstore package exists to preserve and distribute the mod while directing users to the original creator whenever possible.

If you enjoy using this mod, please consider supporting the original author by visiting the Original Resources section at the bottom of this page.

To use this mod after installing it, place as many .png files as you like in:

BepInEx/plugins/CustomLoadingScreens/

The mod will choose one image at random for the Loading... part, and optionally another for the screen with the tips.

You can optionally add a tips.txt file with one tip per line if you want to replace the tips with your own list. Tips can be shown on both parts of the loading screen.

You can also customize the vignette, color mask, and other settings in the configuration file.

The mod comes with an empty tips.txt file and three .png files from Wikipedia that are vaguely related to Vikings.

The tips shown in the screenshots come from:

https://www.kickassfacts.com/viking-facts/

The original author makes no guarantee about the accuracy of the Viking facts on that site.
