Tutorial to make a L4D2 survival map with custom loading screen? | Source Engine | Page 1

#

make a folder in the materials file called vgui, then make the 2 vtfs that will be your loading screens, title them loadingscreen_[whateverhere].vtf

#

you should have 2 loading screen variations, one for a 4:3 aspect ratio and the other for a 16:9 ratio, give the widescreen version the suffix, "widescreen" to the file name

#

UnlitGeneric
{
$basetexture "VGUI\LoadingScreen_[whateverhere]"
$vertexcolor 1
$vertexalpha 1
$no_fullbright 1
$ignorez 1
$additive 0
}

#

this is what should be in the vmts for each loading screen vtf

#

then you specify the loadingscreen texture like so in the mission file ``` // Loading poster data
//
// Note that "posterTitle" and "posterTagline" are often blank as
// the poster usually includes these in the poster image itself.
// If you do not provide a poster, a generic default will be used.
"poster"
{
"posterImage" "loadingscreen_[whateverhere]"
"posterImage_widescreen" "loadingscreen_[whateverhere]_widescreen"

    "fullscreen"        "1"
            //Note L4D2 does not position player names over the poster.

}```
