Replacing the loading screens


MagSul

Prior Knowledge Requirements: Creating/Modifying/Opening .Pk3s

 

This tutorial will explain how to replace both the image that presents when you load Jedi Academy Multiplayer, and the image that shows when you are loading a map that does not have its own levelshot.

 

Loading (Splash) Screen

  • To get started, navigate to your Base folder.
  • When you're there, open up Assets1.pk3.
  • Inside the Assets1.pk3 is a folder named "menu", open this folder.
  • The image named "splash.jpg" is the default loading screen, recognise it?
  • Copy this image somewhere that you can edit it.
  • Make your desired changes to the image using an image manipulation program.
  • Save your changes
  • Create a new .pk3
  • Create a folder named "menu" within the .pk3
  • Place your modified "splash.jpg" image inside the "menu" folder of your new .pk3
  • Save the .pk3
  • Name your new .pk3 something that would come after Assets1 alphabetically. (E.g. LoadingScreen_Overwrite.pk3)
  • Place your new .pk3 in your Base folder and run the game!

Unknown Map

  • To get started, navigate to your Base folder.
  • When you're there, open up Assets1.pk3.
  • Inside the Assets1.pk3 is a folder named "menu", open this folder.
  • Inside this folder is another named "art", open this folder.
  • Locate the image named "unknownmap_mp.jpg" and copy it somewhere outside of the pk3 where you can edit it.
  • Make your desired changes to the image using an image manipulation program.
  • Save your changes
  • Create a new .pk3
  • Create a folder named "menu" within the .pk3, then a folder named "art" within that.
  • Place your modified "unknownmap_mp.jpg" image inside the "art" folder of your new .pk3
  • Save the .pk3
  • Name your new .pk3 something that would come after Assets1 alphabetically. (E.g. MapLoadScreen_Overwrite.pk3)
  • Place your new .pk3 in your Base folder and run the game!
