7 MORE MAINSCREENS (pics and DL)


Recommended Posts

With so many nice splash screens to choose from, it is hard to pick just one. So, I created a little DOS script (see below) that you can add to your autoexec.bat (or call it from there). This ensures that every time you boot your PC it will set up a new splash screen. Instructions are included in the scripts below. You will need to modify it as appropriate, e.g. the directory, file name and number of splash screens (each one has a letter appended, starting with "a"). The example below assumes 8 different splash screens, "a" to "h".

Well, if you know anything about DOS at all, you'll figure it out. Sorry, with so many different user setups out there, I can't offer any support beyond what is documented in the script... As usual, make a copy of the original file(s) is you like them enough.

rem Swaps splash screen every time Windows is booted

rem By voidhawk

rem

rem Set "game" to your game's bmp directory

rem

set game="E:\Strategy\Combat Mission Barbarossa to Berlin\bmp"

rem Set "file" to either "11001" (for 800x600) or

rem "11002" (for 1024x728).

rem

set file="11002"

rem Your splash screen choices MUST be named 11002a.bmp, 11002b.bmp

rem (for 1024x728) etc.

rem

rem If "a" exists, make it the real one

if not exist %game%\%file%a.bmp goto end

erase %game%\%file%.bmp

rename %game%\%file%a.bmp %file%.bmp

rem Then move "b"->"a", "c"->"b", etc. up to "h"->"g"

rem Add/subtract entries as appropriate!

rename %game%\%file%b.bmp %file%a.bmp

rename %game%\%file%c.bmp %file%b.bmp

rename %game%\%file%d.bmp %file%c.bmp

rename %game%\%file%e.bmp %file%d.bmp

rename %game%\%file%f.bmp %file%e.bmp

rename %game%\%file%g.bmp %file%f.bmp

rename %game%\%file%h.bmp %file%g.bmp

rem Move the previous "a" to last one in series (may need to change "h")

copy %game%\%file%.bmp %game%\%file%h.bmp
