To those lovely souls like me who wish for lovely loading screens with OpenMW, but are new to Open Morrowind modding and don't want to directly overwrite your game's loading screens, it's simple to hook these up.
Make a mod folder alongside all of your other OpenMW mod folders (see here if you're so new that this confuses you), add the 'Splash' folder from the zip into it, go into your openmw.cfg, then add an entry for data="(the directory you placed it in)"
For example, mine is: data="D:/Program Files/OpenMW 0.47.0/mods/UserInterface/Lovely Loading Screens"
To add for us noobies that are doing everything quick and dirty, just adding the "Splash" folder to the mod folder doesn't count. The "Splash" Folder must be a subfolder So it can't be "C:\Modding\Modlist\Splash" It has to be C:\Modding\Modlist\[Folder Name] (With the Splash folder inside)

Good luck!

Simply cut/copy/whatever to your datafiles/splash folder. Yeah, It took me a little while to find it because the name's not exactly a give away.
Great artwork, very atmospheric.
So much nicer than those really rather ropey original loading pics.
Thank you!
