Idea for next major release: ZSLT


Recommended Posts

I just stumbled about an idea @wargamer-forum, that seems quite brilliant to me:

It would be great if that during the loading time we could see a jpeg/bmp/whatever of the OOB, tactical map, even the debrief of the loading mission. That is instead of the regular splash screen photos.

If it is too much labor, to display the briefing early, it should not be too difficult to give scenario designers the option to include one "loading" pic for each side. In case a scenario contains such a pic, it is displayed immediately instead of the loading-pics of the game; if there is none, things stay as they are now.

With this neat little trick the waiting time would be transformed into briefing-time. :cool:

Two arguments against it:

In my opinion the loading screen images are important for a WWII strategy game. They are nice to see and they are good for accomodation. WWII photos do a lot for the atmosphere of the game. I like them very much.

On fast computers the loading screen is shown only for about 10 seconds - enough time for a photo but not for a briefing.
