Splash Screen Changing

posted on December 4th, 2003, 3:55 pm

hi could someone from the fleetops team please tell me how you got the splash screens to rotate each time fleetops was loaded?
if not could you please release a mod that would allow a user to view a different splash screen each time the game was loaded.
thanx

there are many ways to do that
in fleet operations the fleetops.exe is a loader which uses the renamed armada2.exe (to armada2.tgt so you don't accidently execute it and we are all legal - no executable file modification) as base to make changes and executes some code to advance some armada 2 aspects for fleetops. so the splash screen is some kind side effect/goodie, actually a in memory modified armada 2 runs. the splash screen is only one little modification of that loader so i don't think its worth to release a modded exe file just for two have 2 secs before armada start a different loading screen.
btw. i like the way you composed your new splash screens on a2f.com. i like the last one best

hm, i can't think of an easy way now, maybe there is a program or tool allowing you to do this something like a batch or script.
