01/12/2024 UPDATE:
Another resurrection. Converted the mod to Frosty, replaced some screens adding two versions - with and without ReShade. Roughly half remains untouched, as they are mission specific and I need to get there during new playthough - see Replacement Status for details. Some example screens might now be outdated until I unlock that specific region to make new ones.

DESCRIPTION:
A simple replacement for loading screens, as after so many hours I got a little bored with the original ones. Only the main loading screen is changed, small ones visible in load/save menu remain untouched. Original images are 1920x1080 but the game should scale them to any resolution used.

Mod now comes in two flavours - Vanilla and ReShade. ReShade screens are prettier, but should not be used if you are using ReShade in-game already, as it might lead to oversaturation or other wonky visuals. Vanilla are the exact same screens, just without any ReShade effects.

With conversion to Frosty, previous DAIMM version has been moved to the Old Files section and is considered no longer supported. Further changes / updates will be made only to Frosty version.

If you are having trouble getting FMM to work, I suggest using version 1.0.6.3 together with DatapathFix plugin version 1.6.0 (the newest one won't work!).

CHANGELOG:
- [03/12/2017] moved to a proper changelog section \o/

03/12/2017 UPDATE:

Resurrected the project with yet another playthrough ;) Added status section to track which screens have replacements already and what needs to be yet added. Fingers crossed, this time I'll manage to grab screens for everything.

28/09/2015 UPDATE:
I decided to expand this project a little bit. I noticed that during n-th playthrough such small change like different loading screen really makes a difference :). I'm now trying to find some new / interesting sights in each visited location and some of them make for nice loading screens. See changelog at the bottom to see what was added.
