You go to a server and you see a cool custom screen, that's pretty fucking awesome and it shows to you that the server is worth to go onto.
And as you all know, we already have a sv_loadingurl, but of course, Lone and Mitch had the brilliant idea to make a non-diverse loading screen that simply says "THE OUTLANDS", that's it, all we really needed was "Esoteric Roleplay", the website name and maybe some music. We need to change it, and since Mitch isn't here, it's not that easy, since Mitch was the one that did it, we desperately need a new one that would just say a few things.
- "Esoteric Servers"
- "www.esotericroleplay.net" or whatever new domain name we get in the future.
- The random and interesting quotes like "Re-killing Alyx." Here's the code or whatever for it, found it on a post on Facepunch. May help.
- Some pleasing music. Maybe Mad World, or we just have no music at all, depends.
Possibly Lone could ask Mitch to teach him or just ask him to do another one for us again. Or we can get help from you if any of you know. Here's some tutorials and shit, and some examples.
Tutorials:
http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/indexb59e.html?title=Sv_loadingurl
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmL70dirOwA (tutorial doesn't show how to make the randomly generating text, but shows how to add in music)
Examples
http://www.esotericroleplay.net/h1-loadingurl (our current loading screen)
http://loading.garrysmod.com/
If we are to release the Outbreak server, we kinda /need/ a new loading screen, "The Outlands" in every server we have is extremely misleading and obnoxious, and if we were to remove it and replace it with the default OA screen, then nobody will join because we look like an under developed community, when we actually are not.
Also, here is the entire HTML format for the default GMod loading screen, if you can get the Outlands one and compare them and replace a few values, then maybe someone can easily just make us a background and we'll be on our way.
