A fork of BepInEx.SplashScreen
https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Bertogim/LoadingScreen/
A loading window that tells you the progress of the loading mods!

Differences from the original mod:

Discord activity detecting the loading screen as other game is fixed
Alternative horizontal design
Fixed wait time for the loading window to disappear after the game is loaded
Customizable configs like window size...

You can add a custom loading image via a mod or the modpack file (More info on the README)

#

1k downloads!! 🎉

#

If there are any suggestions you can just say it here! (Idk what I can add at this point)

errant socket May 2, 2025, 4:17 PM

#

Will also make window size customizable

errant socket May 2, 2025, 7:56 PM

#

⚠️ For the modpack makers

If your custom loading image does not work, it is because the folder inside plugins has to be named "LoadingScreen" not "LoadingImage"

errant socket May 2, 2025, 10:15 PM

#

v1.0.7 ready

v1.0.7

Added window type config (FakeGame/FixedWindow)

v1.0.8

FIXED IMPORTANT BUG: Changed config file location from BepInEx.cfg (What the config file was when i forked this) to Bertogim.LoadingScreen.cfg to avoid bugs relating to the loading window and BepInEx reading the same file at the same time, making the game not load (The config is resetted to default in the new file)
Changed timeout timer from 30s to 45s

Are you on most recent version? This happened when the config was still inside bepinex.cfg and would cause the game to load incorrectly

gloomy ferry May 25, 2025, 7:22 PM

#

ye thats the latest version (if im not mistaken)

errant socket May 25, 2025, 8:44 PM

#

gloomy ferry hello~ I dont know if this error is related to this mod but it says splash so I...

That means that a mod was loading for more than 45 seconds and the loading screen assumed the loader crashed

#

I will turn up the timeout time on the next update

#

Maybe I can improve it a bit to reset the timer every log, not each time the next mod starts loading

errant socket May 28, 2025, 10:07 PM

#

Maybe this weekend I have time to do the update

errant socket May 31, 2025, 7:02 PM

gloomy ferry ye thats the latest version (if im not mistaken)

is it a very bad bug? i might do it next weekend

gloomy ferry May 31, 2025, 7:56 PM

dunno what happen but it fixes itself (said by my friend)

errant socket May 31, 2025, 9:18 PM

#

ok

errant socket Jun 12, 2025, 2:06 PM

#

since now i will have more free time myself, the update will be close to releasing

cedar pond Jun 21, 2025, 10:29 AM

#

might have found a bug, when testing on a profile where your mod is installed, if i run 2 clients, the second one makes the first one break if the loading screen is open..

ie, there can only be one loading screen, when there should be two loading screens (one for each client)

i realise this is out of the realms of normal play, just thought i should highlight this to you.

reproduced by opening two clients, the second one opening before the loading of the first one is finished (which i try to do to save time)

errant socket Jun 21, 2025, 1:58 PM

#

hmm i am gonna test it

errant socket Jun 21, 2025, 2:18 PM

#

i normally dont open two at the same time because it shows file sharing errors across most of the mods installed

errant socket Jun 21, 2025, 3:34 PM

#

#

#

works for me

cedar pond Jun 21, 2025, 5:11 PM

#

interesting, as it didnt for me.. it seemed to cut short too, maybe an error prevented other things from loading, which cut it short...

#

yeah, weird, now im getting two opening <.< very weird, might be related to an error i sometimes get when i open two clients too fast when a certain mod is installed.. either way, not your issue 🙂

errant socket Jun 21, 2025, 10:19 PM

#

idk i must say it is not made for two windows

#

i think it does bug when the lethal company window appears

#

either way its not a softlock issue

errant socket Jul 3, 2025, 7:28 PM

errant socket Jul 3, 2025, 9:52 PM

#

If you have a lot of custom moons, you can see while the lethal company window is black, them loading on the console, I will try to make this mod detect those, and make the loading screen display loading moons (configurable ofc)

errant socket Jul 4, 2025, 3:01 PM

Add your image to Patchers/Bertogim-LoadingScreen or wait for Monday

#

Strange tho I didn't touch that part of the code from what I remember

errant socket Jul 5, 2025, 5:27 AM

#

errant socket Add your image to Patchers/Bertogim-LoadingScreen or wait for Monday

The image I use is on this route so yeah I didn't get to test the Plugins route

errant socket Jul 5, 2025, 5:45 AM

#

Are you sure this isn't a issue on your side? The code for the image searching is unchanged

#

Or bad config, making the code error and not get to the set image part

#

I'm just saying possible things making it not appear until I test it on Monday

errant socket Jul 5, 2025, 7:25 AM

#

Okay yeah my bad

#

I did a replace all for the settings names

#

The folder has to be named 1. LoadingScreen

#

Will fix monday

#

The new version has a bug

Soo I did a replace all LoadingScreen to 1. LoadingScreen for the config file and it also changed the folder look code
The code now is looking to 1. LoadingScreen instead of LoadingScreen
This will be fixed Sunday or Monday

scarlet helm Jul 5, 2025, 7:57 AM

#

I see, easy enough fix

errant socket Jul 6, 2025, 1:19 PM

#

v1.1.1

Fixed a issue where the folder with the loading image had to be named 1. LoadingScreen
Fixed the game icon being resized, covering most of the window
Improved the progress bar with the Extra wait time setting on

#

@errant socket A lot of people in my modpack are getting this issue that seems to be from your mod but I’m unsure

errant socket Jul 6, 2025, 5:02 PM

#

oh, at the start?

#

hmm

orchid haven Jul 6, 2025, 5:02 PM

#

After preloaded

errant socket Jul 6, 2025, 5:02 PM

#

yeah that is from my mod

orchid haven Jul 6, 2025, 5:02 PM

#

Actually it’s not just after preloader

#

Someone else got this too

orchid haven Jul 6, 2025, 5:03 PM

#

errant socket yeah that is from my mod

Is the issue from your mod or is it just putting that error because another mod caused it to break

errant socket Jul 6, 2025, 5:03 PM

#

i mean it is from my mod

#

should not be a conflict

orchid haven Jul 6, 2025, 5:04 PM

#

errant socket i mean it is from my mod

So it’s a issue with your mod, correct?

errant socket Jul 6, 2025, 5:04 PM

#

yeah but only affects my mod

orchid haven Jul 6, 2025, 5:04 PM

#

errant socket yeah but only affects my mod

But the game does not load after that

errant socket Jul 6, 2025, 5:04 PM

#

it should

#

on the background

#

wait...

#

removed timer lol

#

should be fixed in this new update

#

for tomorrow it will be published 100%

errant socket Jul 6, 2025, 5:32 PM

currently trying to not remove the timer

errant socket Jul 6, 2025, 5:36 PM

orchid haven Actually it’s not just after preloader

what version?

errant socket Jul 6, 2025, 5:37 PM

#

orchid haven Actually it’s not just after preloader

that is 45s and means that the UI assumed the game crashed

#

no logs in 45s = assumes the game crashed

errant socket Jul 6, 2025, 5:38 PM

orchid haven <@692400276925186089> A lot of people in my modpack are getting this issue that ...

orchid haven Jul 6, 2025, 5:40 PM

#

errant socket what version?

1.0.8

errant socket Jul 6, 2025, 5:41 PM

#

and the one in the first image?

orchid haven Jul 6, 2025, 5:41 PM

#

They are both

errant socket Jul 6, 2025, 5:41 PM

#

uhh

orchid haven Jul 6, 2025, 5:41 PM

#

It’s in my modpack and they are on the same version

errant socket Jul 6, 2025, 5:41 PM

#

i have never seen the first one happen

#

maybe try updating

orchid haven Jul 6, 2025, 5:41 PM

#

errant socket i have never seen the first one happen

Aren’t they the same issue

errant socket Jul 6, 2025, 5:42 PM

#

yeah but in the first one there arent plugins loading

#

maybe 45 seconds after the preloader finished nothing happened?

#

in the new version it is 5 minutes

#

so that should not happen

orchid haven Jul 6, 2025, 5:43 PM

#

Maybe slow pc

errant socket Jul 6, 2025, 5:43 PM

#

I love to see my mod being used to make masterpiece loading screens

errant socket Jul 8, 2025, 5:15 PM

#

there is a bug where the loading bar skips to 40% at the start, i think its with one of this mods

#

can anyone relate?

scarlet helm Jul 8, 2025, 6:55 PM

#

I have it do that too but its during morecompany cosmetic loading, idk if its any of these (definitely not lethalsettings, I've had it disabled for a long time)

errant socket Jul 8, 2025, 7:07 PM

#

I didn't have the thing happen to me, I did have a lot of cosmetics, but since I installed mirage it's making that

#

I guess I will have to debug what's causing it

errant socket Jul 9, 2025, 7:38 AM

#

i didnt know color was supported in gale, i guess its a to-do for next update (Image from GeneralImprovements config)

#

errant socket Jul 9, 2025, 3:44 PM

#

i think i know what it is

#

-# i added the ... myself

#

so mirage has dependencies that BepInEx skips

#

and there is this code on the loadingscreen code
this code only runs when something is skipped

#

i guess it does something weird and breaks the progress

errant socket Jul 9, 2025, 5:25 PM

#

ok, that is fixed for next version

#

if the splash screen detects the loading of plugins crashed, it should not close the game process now

errant socket Jul 9, 2025, 6:58 PM

#

I improved the timer and coded the colour settings to be compatible with gale, but till Monday I will be away from home so yeah I will continue Monday

faint depot Jul 9, 2025, 7:03 PM

#

errant socket

Oh? How do you get it to recognize a config as a hexcolor?

errant socket Jul 9, 2025, 7:04 PM

#

From general improvements mod config and code I guess gale just detects if the default setting (It's a string) is a hex code

faint depot Jul 9, 2025, 7:13 PM

#

Ah. It only does it if it's the hex values alone, not the hex code prepended with # to indicate it. I don't think ColorUtility.TryParseHtmlString will work with that, so I guess I can switch. Parsing the hex strings directly is easy enough, and having a color picker in Gale is super nice.

errant socket Jul 9, 2025, 7:16 PM

#

Yeah, I have that in mind and I coded having in mind the #, I just didn't commit since i didn't test it, incase someone forks it could be broken

faint depot Jul 9, 2025, 7:18 PM

#

I was using the # in my mod since I could also just have html colors like "red" and the like be immediately supported, but yeah, color picker is better. I guess it could do both with a try-catch.

#

Gale will immediately switch when you input a hex code string without the #, and not allow you to backpedal it.

#

Ah. But I also use Lethal Config (optionally) and I don't think I can use HexColorInputFieldConfigItem without committing to the bit.

#

I should get out of your thread. Thank you!

errant socket Jul 9, 2025, 7:21 PM

#

To support old config hexs (with #) I just made it so if there is a # at the start, remove it so it looks like a new config string

faint depot Jul 9, 2025, 7:21 PM

#

Ah. Autoupgrade. Makes sense.

errant socket Jul 9, 2025, 7:22 PM

#

Not change it from the file (I don't know how to do that) but from the value in the code

errant socket Jul 9, 2025, 7:24 PM

#

faint depot I should get out of your thread. Thank you!

Don't worry! You had the same color question

faint depot Jul 9, 2025, 7:27 PM

#

You can change it with the bound config upon loading. So instead of

                var progressBarColor = config.Bind("4. ProgressBar", "ProgressBarColor", "#34b233", "Progress bar color, use a hex color (e.g. #34b233 for Wageningen Green)").Value;

You'd do

                var progressBarColorConfig = config.Bind("4. ProgressBar", "ProgressBarColor", "#34b233", "Progress bar color, use a hex color (e.g. #34b233 for Wageningen Green)");
                progressBarColorConfig.Value = [yourFunctionToSwitchToHexCode](progressBarColorConfig.Value);
                var progressBarColor = progressBarColorConfig.Value;

#

I keep the bound configs around so I can change colors, or whatever, during the game. I don't know how much more lag that creates, but I haven't noticed anything significant...

errant socket Jul 9, 2025, 7:30 PM

#

Oh, that migrates the value in the file?

faint depot Jul 9, 2025, 7:30 PM

#

Yeah. The binding is two way.

errant socket Jul 9, 2025, 7:30 PM

#

Okay 👌

faint depot Jul 9, 2025, 7:33 PM

#

Look forward to the update! I should take advantage of the loading screen colors myself. I never got around to it.

I have a idea where when windows detects the game as "not respoding" (while loading the game or loading the lobby) the loading screen pops up to avoid the player thinking the game is crashed, avoiding windows saying "close program or wait"

will be a config obviously and probably disabled by default

scarlet helm Aug 13, 2025, 1:24 AM

#

it's been working pretty flawlessly after you split to a separate config

#

the only thing i can think of is that it sometimes doesn't close itself when the game loads, but it isn't consistent and it hasn't happened in a while

faint depot Aug 15, 2025, 8:48 PM

#

A friend of mine doesn't have the loading screen ever come up. Otherwise it's working perfectly. Don't know what's different about their computer.

Loading time debug is great. Wish it also did the LLL loads that happen during the splash screen before the Online/LAN menu, since that tends to take a while too depending on moons and size of moons. But that's after the pass off. (I have a 60 extra wait time until I get around to reducing the number of moons again.)

errant socket Aug 15, 2025, 11:01 PM

#

i would have implemented LLL into the loading texts but i can't read their logs

#

i have 20-30 extra time

#

i dont know what the screen not popping up could be

willow locust Aug 25, 2025, 10:28 AM

one of my friend can't load

i'm asking their logs and i send it to you later

willow locust Aug 25, 2025, 10:52 PM

#

she restarted a game and it worked so I couldn't get her logs but otherwise it was stuck at the very beginning of the loading bar

scarlet helm Sep 21, 2025, 9:34 PM

#

just a heads up, AsyncLoggers Experimental (https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/mattymatty/AsyncLoggers_Experimental/) causes loadingscreen to get stuck on this page

Thunderstore

AsyncLoggers Experimental v21.2.0

YEET the logs to their own thread!

#

since this is probably the backend that matty will work with into the future this mod will need to be updated to work with asyncloggers once this update is pushed to stable

clear geyser Sep 21, 2025, 10:25 PM

#

@errant socket Worth looking into asap, I suspect both mods hook into the same process on boot which breaks loading screen

errant socket Sep 22, 2025, 4:56 AM

#

Hmm will look into it after school

#

We had mods make the progress bar pause but not the text

#

And my mod doesn't output any errors?

@errant socket
Any chance (if it doesnt already, since it's not mentioned in the mod description) for it to pick a random loading image from all the ones in the "LoadingImage" folder, rather than just looking for LoadingImage.png in that folder?
Would mean that if multiple mods try to replace it they are compatible with each other rather than 1 taking priority
I also just wanna goof around with it and have a couple different ones lol

errant socket Oct 20, 2025, 8:07 PM

#

Good idea

#

I can also add a config in case someone in a modpack wants to control the images if other mods add images not wanted

Interestingly, it seems you already do pull up an array of images for when you check patchers/Bertogim-LoadingScreen, and just use the first in the array
But then when checking in plugins, you just look for the first match on "LoadingImage.png"

// 1. First check in patchers/Bertogim-LoadingScreen for any image file
                string patchersPath = Path.Combine(BepInExRootPath, "patchers");
                string patcherFolderPath = Path.Combine(patchersPath, "Bertogim-LoadingScreen");

                if (Directory.Exists(patcherFolderPath))
                {
                    string[] patcherImages = Directory.GetFiles(patcherFolderPath, "*.png");
                    if (patcherImages.Length > 0)
                    {
                        _logAction?.Invoke("Using loading image: " + patcherImages[0], false);
                        SetIconImage(patcherImages[0]);
                        return;
                    }
                }

                // 2. Then check in plugins/*/LoadingScreen/LoadingImage.png
                string pluginsPath = Path.Combine(BepInExRootPath, "plugins");
                if (Directory.Exists(pluginsPath))
                {
                    string[] loadingScreenFolders = Directory.GetDirectories(pluginsPath, "LoadingScreen", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
                    foreach (var folder in loadingScreenFolders)
                    {
                        string imagePath = Path.Combine(folder, "LoadingImage.png");
                        if (File.Exists(imagePath))
                        {
                            _logAction?.Invoke("Using loading image: " + imagePath, false);
                            SetIconImage(imagePath);
                            return;
                        }
                    }

When the plugins finish loading there is a waiting time before the main menu shows up

Loading Screen appears to make the LCVR startup confirmation window unclickable, just FYI.

errant socket Feb 18, 2026, 9:50 PM

#

Try using FakeGame instead of FixedWindow in the config, that way you can move the loading screen away

Or is the loading screen locking into that message?

It's locked, it can't be moved or opened. Config is set to FakeGame as well.

errant socket Feb 18, 2026, 9:52 PM

No, the Bepinex console can be opened, but the LCVR confirmation window is entirely inaccessible by any means.

errant socket Feb 18, 2026, 9:53 PM

I think you can fix it disabling the console window in the BepInEx.cfg

delicate wagon Feb 27, 2026, 3:25 PM

#

hard pier do I need to make 'loading screen' folder?

No, just change the filepath in the config to emblem.

#

the * means any folder/file there
so the default filepath means it will find every "LoadingScreen" folder inside every mod you have in plugins, and then it will pick every png file inside those folders

#

you probably want ./Plugins/*/Emblem/WhateverEmblemLoadingImageFolderName/*.png

I think I know what might be causing this, it's a feature in the new update that made the loading window insert itself into the game, but while the game is frozen, the LoadingScreen also is, making it unable to receive the load finished message

hi, how to change the title bar? like become black or something different.

because on my config already set
TitleBarColor = 000000

but still white. or this is problem windows? cause i'm using AtlasOS

#

Its probably the OS, if you see the config description it says windows 10 or 11 superior than some versions

#

Maybe windows ignores completely white or black values
