Custom Loading Screen

Table of Contents

(This used to be called Better Loading Screen)

Installation:

1.8:

Normal forge mod, just drop this mod into the mods folder and it should work just fine. This also requires AlexIILLib (http://minecraft.curseforge.com/mc-mods/229301-alexiillib)

1.7.10:

Normal forge mod, just drop this mod into the mods folder and it should work just fine. Unlike the 1.8 version, this DOES NOT require AlexIILLib.

This should be compatible with all forge mods.

If you have a crash report, please upload it to pastebin and link it as to not fill up the comments section (also, crash reports are easier to read on pastebin than in the comments)

Hey, I'd like to start off with, this is an Amazing little customization Mod. I love it! <3

Second, I'd like to ask..

Is there a way to add your own custom sounds into the "completed loading" sound effect. Because I realize you can change the sound to any different vinalla minecraft sound you want. But I'm curious if you can add in your own customs sounds, and if you can then how please :D.

Again, great work. Thanks :D

Thanks, I haven't worked on this in a while but I'm glad that people still like it :)

As for sounds, in theory you need to follow the instructions at https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Resource_pack#Sounds and refer to it with whatever custom name you use in the "sounds.json" resource pack file. Although I haven't tested it to see if it works yet...

Why Can't I define any path for the images besides minecraft.jar which doesn't work unless it's on technic?

Does this work for any loading screen, such as when travelling between dimensions?
I would so love to have the 'Entering the Nether...' text back when, well, entering the Nether.

One for the End would also be nice, but I'm mostly concerned about the Nether.

Not at the moment - its only for the first loading screen when booting up the game.

That's a good idea though, although I don't think I'll have time to add it anytime soon

Hello AlexIIL,

Out of interest, will you ever update this mod to 1.8.9 anytime soon?

(and adjust it by making it finish at 100% instead of 85%)

Just wondering, thanks.
Zetron.

I'm not sure why I never updated to 1.8.9, it shouldn't be that much different to 1.8...

The 85% issue was fixed in 1.3.10 for 1.7.10, or do you want it fixed in 1.8?

However I am (slowly) working on an update to 1.11.2. it should come out roughly the same time that BuildCraft 8 does (as It currently uses BC|Lib as its library for its expression compiler).

When BC is beta or stable, not alpha. (I'm still changing some of the buildcraft.lib.expression code to be able to depend on it properly.)

Er, in terms of closeness its been updated to BC 7.99.3 code... I'll have to port it again to the latest version, an I suppose there's nothing wrong with putting it up as an alpha... (I just spend much more time on BC nowadays then custom loading screen.)

After considering for a little bit... it doesn't really make sense to make everyone download buildcraft lib when I can just embed the relevant code in custom loading screen... So I'm porting it so it doesn't depend on buildcraft. I don't have an ETA, although it's probably closer than when buildcraft actually hits beta.

is there a chance that the 85% can be adjusted so it shows a full 100% either by config file adjustment or just fixed in general?

Please help me. Im using 1.7.10 of this mod and I am trying to access another folder with the image I want to use. However, it keeps showing a purple-black image instead.

The directory for my image is .minecraft\resources\modpack\textures\title.jpg

I placed "modpack:textures/title.jpg" as my directory in my .json file.

However, it keeps showing the purple and black picture.

Please help!!!

A few things:

1: Minecraft doesn't have support for JPEG images so you'll need to convert it to PNG. (I've never tested it actually, and I'm not sure about this one)

2: BetterLoadingScreen doesn't have a way of reading from ".minecraft/resources" by default, are you using a mod that adds that functionality? (Although I might not be remembering this one correctly, I haven't worked on this in quite a while)

In reply to AlexIIL:

How do I make a folder in what directory so that BetterLoadingScreen can read my photos?

I already changed the photo properties to *.png*. And yes, there are mods like CustomMainMenu which I am using as well which may be the reason why I have a resource folder.

I'm not really sure how to make the custom directory and what to add in the BetterLoadingScreen *.json* file.

If you have ResourceLoader (which it sounds like you do) then the directory is fine.

If you change the first content line in images.json to

"resourceLocation": "modpack:textures/title.jpg",
Then it should work. (Assuming that the file name is "title.jpg" and windows isn't hiding the file extension)
