This kit it designed to aid in the creation of custom area load screens for builders to add to their modules via a hak pack. It includes an illustrated step-by-step instruction guide in PDF format, the required 'loadscreens.2da' file, and 2 Targa (.TGA) template to aid in the proper assembly of the load screen. ALSO REQUIRED: - Image editing application which can handle Targa (.TGA) files. - Text editor (such as Notepad). UPDATE NOTES ------------ - Converted the instruction guide to PDF format and added detailed illustrations. - Updated the instruction guide to use null STRREF values.

Used this wonderful kit to make our first ever custom loadscreen. The included image templates made it very easy.
I only hit two snags. The first one was how to move the copied image into position on the template. For me, it worked to paste them as a "layer" and then move the layer into place.
The second was the images showed up upside-down in the toolset. Pasus specifies that the images need to be saved in 24-bit tga. That turned out to be my problem. I had saved them as 32-bit.
Nice work Pasus.

I just used this program on NWN1 v1.63, and it works fine with new modules, and modules which already have haks, older ones and newer ones. I've had no problems, just thought I'd post.

This is absolutely perfect for creating loadscreens for some of the more unique areas in my modules. Thanks for putting it together. _________________________ World of Aenea (Hall of Fame PW and the origin of all my works)

Orin, use your arrow keys to adjust the image to where you need it. Photoshop 7 did the same thing for me. 6.0 never had this problem, and it might be a default setting that needs to be changed. *Shrug*
Arrow keys are your friend when you need to get something exact :)

Hey Pasus. First of all, I want to say that this is a great tutorial and kit you've put together! Unfortunately, i'm having a problem centering the image in the turquoise areas of the template between the gold trim. I have sized the image down to 738x251 using photoshop 7.0, however when I paste over the template and try to drag the image into the correct position, it jumps right before it is placed where I need it. I have tried moving the mouse slowly, and a million other different tricks of the wrist, but it just won't fit right.
I don't know if it is a problem with my mouse settings or what, but it is really frustrating. If you have any idea what my problem is, please let me know. Awesome job again mate!
