Hexen NOTCH / NETNOTCH

[SPZ1]

I see that the old loading form has been replaced with a mostly black screen with a small dark brown progress bar. Is there a way to customize this screen?

Not yet, as I understand it.

You can use the hexen startup screen, but its not very flexible.

Is there already a wiki entry on how this startup screen can be customized?

[Graf Zahl]

No, if you want custimization you still need to use the Hexen startup. The new one is merely a fallback for when nothing else is found.

Can you specify what these lump names are? It would really help. I just had a quick look through Hexen.wad and I couldn't find anything.

Assuming that the wiki details are still current: https://zdoom.org/wiki/Startup_lumps

Thank you Enjay for pointing that out. I wasn't sure that was what I needed when I saw it earlier. Another question though: Does anybody know what this graphic from Hexen is?

that's the notch for progress, represented by a vertebrae.

I need to know the lump name.

[SanyaWaffles]

As it says in the wiki, it's called NOTCH. That's the lump name.

[SPZ1]

It says that Hexen uses part of a graphic which are called 'notches' but this is not an actual lump name.

[SanyaWaffles]

From the wiki:

The loading notch is 16×23 (184 bytes) and called NOTCH and the netgame waiting notch is 4×16 (32) and called NETNOTCH.

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/1u6fms6f ... urtx2&dl=0 here's an example. These are the lumps from Project Absentia. Replace them with your own and it should get you started. Any PNGs should work with recent GZDoom versions.

Whoops sorry I misread!

EDIT : I have a cool new startup screen now. Thank you guys!
