Map Loading Progress Bar

posted on March 4th, 2014, 3:47 am

Can someone tell me how I can edit the color of the loading progress bar the scrolls across the bottom of the screen when you start a game? Is it just a tga or is it in one of the gui files?
Thanks in advance.

loadscreen.odf

loadbarcolorstart = 0.0 0.0 1.0
loadbarcolorend = 1.0 1.0 1.0

Lots of other settings like transparency, screen position etc But experiment and I am sure you'll get the effect you're after

Sorry, I should have specified. This is for stock A2 and I don't see a loadscreen.odf in the odf/others folder? My bad

Ah Stock A2, not sure it's possible to change the loading bar colour, transparency etc. Hard coded.

Hmmm, I tried the original Classic Mod and when you launch the instant action game the loading progress bar is a light blue color. When I load the stock map editor the load bar is white.

However, when I launch a game in my mod it's black and invisible because I have a new black loading splash screen. It's got to be some file or texture I replaced somewhere.

Hmm. I can't find anything in stock that alters it. Its possible that the Classic Mod just uses the hardcoded default, and FleetOps modifies this with loadscreen.odf.

Looks like Blade put the loadscreen.odf from FO into his mod so I did as well into mine and now I can see the loading bar scroll across the screen. Thanks for your help SJ
