• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Splash for TOW1

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.
<Dialog Image="common_screens\splash.jpg" ScaleToScreen="No" ZOrder="Background" Clippable="No" Position="Center"/>
