LOADING SCREEN

Version: 2.6.1

Description
-----------
A customizable loading screen for Daggerfall Unity.

Prerequisites
-------------
Daggerfall Unity 0.11.3.

Installation
------------
Pick the correct 'loadingscreen.dfmod' for your OS and place it inside the 'StreamingAssets/Mods' folder.

Background
-------------
The default background is full black. If a custom image is wanted, .png textures can be placed inside the folder 'StreamingAssets\Textures\Splash';
one of them is randomly picked every time. Optionally, subfolders can be used to provide images for specific situations:
'Building', 'Dungeon', 'Desert', 'Winter' and 'Summer'.

Settings
--------
- LoadingLabel
A loading label with three dots that show a rough progress of the loading.
You can customize size and color, other than the text itself.

- PressAnyKey
Pause the game until you press a key after the loading screen.

- ShowForMinimum
To avoid an unpleasant blinking when the loading is too fast, you can configure a minimun time,
in seconds, for wich the splash screen will be displayed. Set to 0 to disable this feature.

- DeathScreen
Show a death screen wich was present in the prototype demo but eventually removed from the final game.
By default it appears after the death video, but you can disable the latter with 'DisableVideo'.
To customize the death screen, place 'DIE_00I0.IMG.png' inside 'StreamingAssets\Textures\img\'.

Common settings keys
--------------------
- Position
Affects position on screen of the element in question. The first value is the X (left), the second is the Y (up).
Negatives values are subtracted from the size of the screen: -X is right, -Y is bottom.
The Alignment of the text is determinated automatically.

The Width affects where is the endline, meaning that determines the width of the paragraph.

* 1-5 are variations of OpenSans, a popular and classical font (ExtraBold, Bold, Semibold, Regular, Light).
* 6-11 are from the TESFonts, a font pack with very interesting styles, excellent for a game like Daggerfall
(Kingthings Exeter, Kingthings Petrock, Kingthings Petrock light, MorrisRomanBlack, oblivion-font, Planewalker).
* 0, or above 12, means Unity default font (Arial if available, otherwise Liberation Sans).

- FontStyle
A number from 0 to 4 -> 0:Normal, 1:Bold, 2:Italic, 3:BoldAndItalic.
