Is there a way to replace the loading screen with SOA's?

Post by Coconut_Crab »

Hi,
Does anyone know how to replace the loading/saving screen with SOA's original one? That is, to replace the skull with the double-heads.

Or, does anyone know a website that has this kind of information that teaches people how to tweak the game? I just like the double-heads in SOA better...and maybe some music in SOA, too.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Maybe you can change the image on the opening screen by extracting the image you want (I've used Infinity Explorer to do just that), renaming it to replace the image you don't want, and placing it in the OVERRIDE directory. But isn't there an option to select which game starts (Shadows of Amn or Throne of Bhaal) when you start the game? I'm sorry, but I don't have the game installed at the moment, so I can't check it out for myself.

You might try replacing music files, but from judging from other people's experiments with sound files in Planescape: Torment, it might cause unexpected lockups, since the files are not the same size.

Good luck!

I could have sworn that I saw someone add this recently to some tweak pack. If I can track it down, I'll post the link. Sorry.

It's going in the next version of the G3 Tweak Pack at my request, apparently.
