It's been a long time since I'm played with this...
dlgsplash2.xml plays first and on my system runs for about 12 seconds
It expects a 4:3 ratio 16 bit bmp image that it will always resize down to a 800 x 600 patch positioned over the center of my desktop.
I've tried a variety of size and positioning tricks using black borders, but the final resolution always became an issue.
I do have one install using 1024 x 768 that it shrinks down but still looks good.
<Dialog Image="common_screens\splash.bmp" ScaleToScreen="Yes" ZOrder="Background" Clippable="No"/>
It then switches to dlgsplash.xml and runs for a similar length of time before opening the in game UI
This file can be any size and shape that matches your screen resolution, and does not need to be a 16 bit bmp file.
I've customized this for all of my installs using in game screenshots.
