UT2k4MapSpecificLoadingScreens 16 9 addon - Unreal Tournament 2004

README:

UT2k4MapSpecificLoadingScreens

Version 1.0

NOTE!!!! This is for monitors with 16:9 screen ratio only. I might make it for 16:10 and 4:3 later if I have the time. (Although I doubt anyone in this day and age uses 4:3 monitors at all.)

What is it ??
----------------

It's what I think Epic should have done in the first place. Loading Screens that shows the map and not those shitty boring screens, that came with the game. ( Seriously Epic, they are... ). So while taking a break from mapping, I began to mess around with it to see if it could be done.
It changes the old loadingscreens to loadingscreens specific to the chosen map.

Included is:
vanilla maps + ECE content
CBP 1 & 2
UCMP 1, 2, 3 and 4
MsM's UtClassics
FlagPack 1 & 2
1on1 Pack
+ some extra ( you will find out, if you have the maps installed.)

332 high resolution 2048x2048 textures. It's a heavy file. Maps not included will show one of four randomly chosen default loading screen.

Installation
----------------
Just unzip the contents of this zip-file to your main UT2004 folder (e.g. C:\UT2004 ) and the files should ( hopefully ) place themselves in all the right places.

When done, open the UT2004.ini file in your UT2004 System folder with Notepad.

Scroll down to the [Engine.GameEngine] section and look for C>

Change this to C>

so it looks like this:

;ConnectingMenuClass GUI2K4.UT2K4ServerLoading
C>

(....I know...hell of a long name...but I had to call it something that makes sense.)

I have no idea how it will work with netplay, but if it don't, just uninstall it like this:

ConnectingMenuClass GUI2K4.UT2K4ServerLoading
;C ( << or simply delete this line.)

That's it !! You should be good to go. I hope you enjoy.

Author's Notes
------------------
I just started this for my own purpose, but when I was finished, I just thought why not release it. Somebody might like it, so there it is. Enough babble. J-Rts signing out.
