When the Tomb4.exe is run,there is a fly-by,with the options for new game,load game etc.
When you select one of these options you choose what level you want to play.
This then gives you a loading screen showing two guardians or whatever by a doorway in an egyptian tomb.
Right, what i want to know is how do i change this loading screen to one of my own choice?

You have to change the load coordinates of the title fly by in the script.dat.

In the game, find the view you want it to show. Press F1 and write down the numbers.

In script.txt find the section for your level. Then set the LoadCamera values to those you wrote down.

I managed to get it to work when i load my level from a save game ,but when i start a new game it still shows the original load screen.

I tried changing the coordinates for the title screen,with the coordinates from my level but i just get a blank screen when it loads.....any more ideas.....thanx.

the load image you see is a view of the level you load FROM
so if you load a savegame from WITHIN your level, you get your load screen, but when you select new game, you get the load screen from the TITLE level
you can't use the co-ordinates from your level, because it's different for the title level
