Drakwatch Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Has anyone come up with a solution to this? I would really like to see the old loading screens in-game again, I like their designs a lot. It would be cool to replace them with our own loading screens too. This previous thread mentioned that it is pretty difficult to replace those images, but I do still really like the way the old loading screens look. It would be cool to mod them back in.

Hyperstrike Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I am not sure if the old load screens are still available. They were replaced on Live So I'm not sure the resources still exist in the PIGG files. If you want to be godlike, pick anything. If you want to be GOD, pick a TANK!

Dynamo-Joe Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Well - a texture replacement via client side modification might be possible. You don't have to mod the pigg files at all. However finding good clean versions of all those old load screens themselves might be a bit of an issue. Also - they were made back when 800x600 screens were the norm. That's one of the reasons they were replaced back on live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakwatch Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 There's a good link to the old loading screens here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lraeslcbbfhd08v/Old_Loading_Screens.zip?dl=1 They are just Jpgs, 1440 x 994 ppi. Seems like decent quality but they will have some upscaling issues with bigger screens for sure.

Vulpoid Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) This will do the job. COHSplasher is a utility that will allow you to change them. Looks like some old ones are here too.

jkwak Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 yeah i know its an old thread, but i m currently looking in to getting the old loading screens back for me and splasher has no option for loading screens except the login so if anyone is doing the same as me and finds this thread thru google no need to bother with splasher in that case back to the Zukunft @Jkwak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkwak Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) i had a partially success. i have no idea what to do about the text though as the old loading screens had the text as part of the same image and the new ones store the text seperate and i dont know where or even what to do about it. i have a close look tomorrow i have a hunch about the text, but i might need to take screenshots of every loading screen for all zones that where added after the new loading screens where introduced -.- update: i thought the text was stored in fonts as Paragon City Italic but i either did something wrong or my font editor messed the file in a way up that it is not longer recognized by the game as the fonts in COH seem to not follow some standarts which my program attempted to fix -.- so what i could do instead would be to edt the loading screens to make room for the new way of showing zone names ..... or simply give up Edited August 11, 2021 by jkwak back to the Zukunft @Jkwak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkwak Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) so this is what the loading screens for blue side City zones kinda look for me now, not bad but certainly not good so i dont really know if i should share it allright i made an Hybrid of the old and the new loading screens, it looks way better i share it thru COH Modder since the Zip Archive will be to big Edited August 12, 2021 by jkwak back to the Zukunft @Jkwak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
