New Location-specific Loading Screens

Here's two for Bartolomeu's Assassin storyline Vera Cruz locations.

Ok, these loading screens worked fine on my last install. But on this new install they don't. I get a black screen at every transition. I've tried it twice with the same result. What am I missing?
 
Did you run the batch file included in the archive? If not, you would get black screens.
If you did, it's error logging time. Check system.log .
 
I must have installed something out of sequence. I started a new game and all is well. :cheers The guards or whatever in the hotel rooms are back. A grenade takes care of them. :ixi I likes me privacy. :p: Walking into three assassins is a problem. It might be fun at level 50, but at level 6 one is pinned in a corner and can't see anything, plus in the time it takes to draw your sword you are dead. :ko

Those are great prints! Yes, their size is odd. The billowing sails in the third one are interesting to me. The fleut sails are like that also.

Vera Cruz.......... :will
 
Blank (Black ) Screens

Cayman

The jungle section outside the cave - both from the jungle and exiting the cave.

Eleuthera

Same jungle section as Cayman ( the loading screen is OK for the Barbados cave location :shrug )

Shore with shipwreck on it.

Aruba

The dungeon/cavern at Rocky Shore

The townhall in Oranjestad
 
Thanks a lot for that, Talisman! I found and fixed all those issues.
They extended to some other locations as well, which I also sorted.
I'm redoing the file from the opening post to include the latest fixes.
I also had to make a new screen for that Oranjestad townhall:

Please redownload the file from the opening post. It's been redone with the following:
- Storyline location init files included
- Jack Sparrow storyline custom start screen added
- Oranjestad townhall screen added
- Vera Cruz location screens added
- Hitman sidequest loading screens finished
- Cave Entrance screens fixed
- Aruba dungeon screen fixed
- Eleuthera shore ship screen fixed
- Pirate residence screens fixed
New game required to make use of the code file fixes.
 
Blank (Black ) Screen - with old version of file - don't know if you have found this one

Grand Turk Fort - Office in basement

:cheers
 
Yep; that one's fixed too and included.
It seems almost all "pirate residence" locations had a mistake in their loading screen code,
which I found when you pointed out the Oranjestad townhall error.
 
There are blank screens in a house beside the shipwright at St. Pierre. :wp

New game! Curses. Just got up to where I can fight back without dying every time. :ixi

That should be covered with "- Storyline location init files included". I had fixed that before, but failed to include the files. Pretty silly, that! :facepalm
 
Blank (Black ) Screen - with new version of files .

Isla de Muerta - all beaches ( Witches Rock - Dead Mans Bay & Deserted Shore )

Unable to get to treasure cave - so could not check that.


:cheers


BTW - Should I be able to access "quest specific" locations with these files :?

I am using the Master & Commander storyline - I have tried to get into the EITC office in Port Royale ( Kingston ) & Mateus Santos house there and they were both locked.

Also tried Bartolomeus' Playa de Muerta on Hispaniola, that was locked as well.

:mm
 
Confirmed and will be fixed soon. Seems they were made to use custom loading screens that never existed.
And I'll need to make a new one for the Grotto location.
 
Here's the missing Isla de Muerte Grotto location screen:

These locations are only unlocked in their respective storylines.
The M&C storyline doesn't have any locations at all, so any quest locations you won't be able to access.

Santiago, Cuba, Tavern - The new tavern is different to the loading screen ( Havana tavern is ok - loading screen shows upper level.)

Charlestown, Nevis Townhall - Loading screen says Shipyard ( interior is the same as used for some shipyards.)

:cheers
 
Very true on both accounts. Townhall/Shipyard confusion is easily fixed:
I already made a Townhall version of that screen for Tortuga, so we can reuse that one.
For the taverns, I had to make two new screens.

Pirate Settlement, Nevis - Brothel - Loading Screen says Tavern ( interior is the same as some taverns )

:drunk
 
True. I'm not sure if I care enough about that to make a custom screen for that one though.
It's almost a tavern. :wp
