Changelogs
Version 1.0
Initial release - support v1.10
PS5 Loading Screens
This mod attempts to recreate the loading screens used on PS5 by removing tips/hints and restoring artwork:
Used v1.10 as a base
Supports 21:9 widescreen
Artwork available with optional vignette
Installation
The mod comes in two flavors - with/without vignette for artwork. Personally, I think vignette looks good on 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratios since it hides the abrupt edges of the images. With a normal 4K display, this isn't an issue and is mostly up to personal preference. Please refer to the images section for examples.
Installation is very straightforward:
Decompress the zip archive such that you're left with "menu" folder
Drag the "menu" folder into your Mod Engine 2 mod folder and overwrite any existing files
Launch your game
Optional - Instructions for Manual Injection
If you're looking for a smaller download, you can download the artwork separately and repack hi-res and low-res archives yourself. Furthermore, tweaks to hide loading screen tips are also provided separately so that you can rebuild the mod from scratch:
Hi-res Artwork: menu/hi/00_solo.tpfbhd
Low-res Artwork: menu/low/00_solo.tpfbhd
Loading Screen Hints and Tips: menu/02_903_nowloading2.gfx
For repacking the image archives (i.e. both hi/low variants of "00_solo.tpfbhd"), just follow the instructions given by XenonBerzerk:
Since the file that stores the textures for loading the screenshots is huge, I have proceeded to provide only the files that I have edited for those screens, they are TPF files and below is a video guide done by ZLOHORT about how to inject them without downloading the whole mod. Here's that guide on GDrive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xZWv9baBaqrjIIaJPv1igFBzSPpx2PeG/view?usp=sharing At the end of the video you will have exactly the same files from the "only loading screen" file of this mod. Install it as usual, like as you downloaded them from this page.
For these steps you will need: UXM Selective Unpacker to decompress the game main files. and JKAnderson/Yabber to repack the bhd/bdt files. The Yabber recognizes only the 00_solo.tpfbhd file which is the header of the second big file. So repack only it like in the video.
