It works regardless of version and being updated.

Is it works now?

They are from Stellaris game and dlc trailers, they are all very old, you can find them on youtube.

Where do this loading screens come from? is there a Stellaris 2 or something. Never seen 90% of them. Good Work tho

@Cúchulainn

Please note that the only way for this mod to conflict with other loading screens mod is for them to use same naming pattern. Here it is load_1.dds untill load_157.dds If another mod uses the same scheme the game will overwrite one mod for another depending on the mod order. Now this naming scheme is important since otherwise you will be able to see default loading screens which I believe do not fit with this mod's artsyle.

If you want to see old ones you will have to go back into mod folder and rename first pictures of however many vanilla loading screens there are. If you found incompatibility with another mod you will have to rename all files in either mod to something else. In such case I recommend copying the mod file and renaming it before renaming all files, that way your launcher will see the mod, but when my mod gets updated you won't suddenly have all the file names reverted.

The mod has been updated with Galactic Paragons and Astral Planes screenshots. I have also slightly revamped the description.

As for the issues with loading screen zoom in, this was a bug caused by Paradox messing with animation in graphics of the main menu as far as I know and has been fixed since then. One of the pictures I uploaded was also of lower resolution (the easter egg one) and that has been fixed since then. As of now when I load the game I cannot replicate any zoom in anymore. I'm sorry for not responding back then, I was busy with university. If anyone still encounters these problems, please comment it here.

If something happens I recommend you play the game in 16:9 resolution, or try the alternative widescreen mod for 21:9 made by LeonTheProfessional (link is in mod description, but it has far less pictures)

Thank you for updating this! Appreciate you @Blu Macaw. I'm also getting some issues with resolution scaling? Like zoomed in a bit. Could this conflict with any other loading screen mod?

For some reason with this mod, the screenshots are zoomed in for some reason. Why would that be happening?

I've updated it, but again it's just visual, even outdated this will work. I have some picture from few last trailers I can upload as well, I'll try to find some motivation to do it befor the end of September.

please, patch for 3.9

Yeah you are very dedicated to your mod as I've had it for a long time now. Figured I'd bump ya in case you regressed to your inner-Gollum or something. Thanks Blu babes

Also it still works fine, just... well pretty new pictures :D

Guaranteed, subject to time. I'm busy with exam and programming classes so not sooner than next Wednesday and that's only if I still have energy for this afterwards. Regardless eventually I will update it again.

Chance to get an update?

@Blu Mucaw You can only use AI to increase the quality of them at that point.

You can't get these pictures in higher quality, they are direct screenshots of Stellaris trailers, in many cases pausing them in a single frame actually severely distorts the picture and they are generally blurry, you can notice that yourself by playing trailer and pausing and don't get me started on the bitrate of these videos. Of course if anyone knows of a better way to gather these pictures I'd be inclined to revamp the mod.

I love this mod. Just wish the loading screens were of a higher quality :(

Rejoica

Ah I'm back, I present you updated version with 24 new amazing loading screens. I also bring bugfix, the easter egg picture didn't render properly and it should be fine, but obviously I have as much luck verifying this as you have to see it, so we shall see. The picture from first contact with the poster on the road contained ESRB rating so I've edited it out with mild success, you can still see where the dit happened of course, but you can miss it if you don't look for it. Enjoy guys!

Ok so whoever else has this issue. MAKE SURE this is placed after UI overhaul otherwise it doesn't work correctly. idk why i didn't try that first xD

Loading screens are awesome however they don't stretch at all to fit the screen? playing on a small monitor using UI overhaul so that might be an issue not sure

Comaptible with new version, but I will only be updating pictures in the near future.

I can't do that, it was a fanmade version and I'm just tagged as cocreator, I don't have core files for it, nor do I know what I should do to make them ultrawide without loosing quality. I'm rather active on this side, but I recomend you contact the other creator directly as they have been responsible for the other mod.

Please update Ultrawide version!!!

ty, just checked - really good compilation of loading screens

Both. I added over 100, a few first replace the vanilla ones.

did you remove vanilla loading screens? or this mod just add new?

Pretty much yes. I kept naming my loading screens load_xyz.dds I did so in order to get rid of unmatching original loading screens already in the game and just kept the names. If other loading screens mod uses the same terminology there will be an issue and only one mod will show up untill one with greater numbers will prevail in higher numbers regardless. Most modders actually use their own terminology as far as I know so there shouldn’t be problems.

This should work with other loading screen mods?

Hello again. I'm sorry, but there was nothing cinematic in aquatics trailers (but the music was spot on) However, Overlord bestowed us with 10 new! Featuring God Emperor himself and a lot of fluffy foxes among others.Take care!

Oh sure, I mean it works fine I was just letting you know in case you was unaware. Great job with this.

Maybe because they updated from 3.2.1 to 3.2.2. Of course it gives errors when Paradox changes cheksum every few days just because they fixed one bug in new DLC. But it doesn't mean I will update it the second it drops out, nor that it breaks ironman, it's just a meaningless number to graphics mod.

Gives a mod error for passed version

2 new screens from Aquatic trailers. I have to say, they absolutely messed up and there was no art meaning there's only 1 new art and 1 gameplay footage (which is sad). 2 old deep sea screens were deleted since they were 90% void and lowered the overall quality meaning it's still 112 loading screens.

5 new screns themed plantoids from latest 3.1 trailer. Including 1 easter egg screen from steam summer sale (won't appear often and won't break immersion either)

Thanks for this great mod, gave u an award.

Awesome, thanks for the update! Your loading screens really help me get into the feel of the game opposed to the bland vanilla ones.

-Added 11 new pictures.
-That includes one from past missed trailer
-As for suggestion added one revamped refuge. However the old one is still in the file. This is the only instance of such situation.

Thanks!

3rd year anniversary, would have never guessed that. Thanks, I already made a suitable image so I will be including it with the next update.

the time code is 1-19, if it is not included in the link

I tried to search for that video as I don't keep any record, but I couldn't really find it. Even though I'm no photographer, I'm quite sure I wouldn't have let big chunky boring ship if I had another choice. But I will remember to pay more attention in the future. If you somehow find the link I'd deffnitely take a look and possibly in next update fix that one, but for now there's nothing I can really do.

Great mod!

How about recropping the one with blue aliens saving human refugees? It seems you have cropped the alien holding the girl, which is the centerpiece of the image really.

Great news, I wasn't lazy this time and brought you 3 new loading screens! Bad news... Paradox really cut down on trailers, there was cinematics only in the first one. Enjoy, the cultists and two shots at the fleet in space.

Updated for 2.8.0! (No new loading screens yet though! I'll work over it soon hopefully!)

To anyone intrested, yes I'm aware necroids got something, I think I'll wait untill the release and once the final trailer is released I'll start updating the mod.

I wish they cared to explain that when they ruined modding by adding luncher. But it's way easier than messing with files to do so as it was the case before. Thank you :3

I think if you want to change (or set) the thumbnail you have to put a png file called "thumbnail" in your mod file

it's certainly been some time and I still have no clue how to change thumbnail, but I did update again! Nee pictures, in totall 94! I also removed a few dark underwater ones. They were too dark and boring too watch and too many of them. Enjoy.

Thank you for updating, kind sir.
