Oh thats really weird. I haven't implemented the grav jump config yet, was planning to start on that tomorrow. So I commented out that entire section from the fomod installer. No idea why MO2 would put that step in if its commented out. Vortex skips the section. Thanks for letting me know, I'll sticky this in case anybody else runs into the same issue in the meantime.
If you edit the variables in PLS_Full.ini you can customize it as you like. It should be in Starfield\Data\Interface.
For your convenience, just copy and paste below and it should do what you describe:
[PLS Full] ; ----------------------------------- ; PLS Full configuration file ; ----------------------------------- ; ; Allows you to customize the full loading screen which you most often see when loading into your save or fast traveling. ; Show left text (note: contains player name, level, icon, tips) bLeftText = 1 ; Show player name bPlayerName = 1 ; Show player level bPlayerLevel = 1 ; Show player level icon bPlayerLevelIcon = 1 ; Show loading tips bLoadScreenText = 1 ; Show gradient bGradient = 1 ; Show spinner bSpinner = 0 ; Show background bTexture = 1
I've been liking the all-black loading screens the best so far. It doesn't take you out of the moment in any way. MO2 says there is a fomod install error for 'Configuration\Grav_Seamless'
I have a question/ request but don't know if it's possible. The biggest immersion break is the black screen in between grav jumps. Since the grav jump sequence ends and begins with a bright white light, could you mod a white loading screen without loading icon uniquely for the grav loading screens ?
Already ahead of you. I was planning to have a go at doing exactly as you describe even before I started implementing the current features but haven't started yet. There's even a section of the fomod installer thats commented out specifically for when I get around to implementing it (hence the stickied post). I just haven't had much time recently. But since you've reminded me of it I'll try and get around to it soon!
Thank you for downloading and for the suggestion that made it what it is! Btw just checked out your mods and I am 100% downloading when I get home. Also add me on Discord @hypergol_d if you'd be interested in working on some QoL stuff together since that seems to be your shtick too.
I am unclear from your description, and your pictures, what this mod does. I understand the goal, but what is the end effect? Is it the black screen on the final picture or...?
It changes the behavior of the two main types of loading screens in the game. There are the full loading screens that you get when loading into a save and fast traveling. Some people prefer these kinds of loadings screens without all the text (name, level, tip) or even to be completely black. Then there are the minimal loading screens that fade in and out with the spinner when entering buildings, ships, etc. Pretty much the main thing that inspired me to make the mod is that I hate the little spinner that pops in for 2 seconds on that screen its just a little jarring. But people wanted a variety of things so that's what this mod does. Upon installing you pick whatever configuration you like best for both loading screens.
The mod covers 21:9 aspect ratio? Do you know if it's possible?
It's a shame that loading screen are 16:9 when playing at 21:9, it's very immersion breaking, if you can make this happen i bet a lot of people would be happy.
