Loading Screens?

[The_Alee]

Hi there,

Can we make loading screens in MMF2? Or anything like a loading screen?

Would like people's views/work arounds on this.

Thanks,

loading screens would only be used for uncompressing textures/sprites or such required external files surely.

and you could then make a loading screen for that.

My game is going to include a loading screen. And it has reasons as well. <img src="/center/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

The ONLY reason you would need a loading screen, is right before you go to a frame that has a lot of objects forced to pre-load.

Method:
Jump to loading frame.
*Fame with the word "Loading" on it.*
Instantly Jump to Game...
*Game loads frame, while displaying loading text!*

Doing things like loading for level editors is not needed, it's called fast loop. You can load an entire level in less then a milisecond.
