1 year ago Yeah, I can probably make the loading screen a little more pretty.
Its kinda something I threw on after getting asked for it quite a bit, so its not really prefect, yet.
If I can do something like a progress bar, I might be able to at least have it show a loading indicator so users know its not frozen in place.

11 months ago That's fantastic, actually. Would it be possible to load in a custom webm or animated gif? My players are a bunch of filthy memers, and I'm sure this applies to many Dms!
That said, even if it's not possible/easy to implement, the example you shared is pretty much perfect for my use case!
Not sure if this is even within the realm of possibility, but I'll toss it out there just in case. For context: I'm self hosting. Whenever my players load in, once they get past the login screen there's a bit of a wait to get into game proper. With no visual tell beyond the big loading text, there's often times a moment where the players will question if game will load, or if they'll need to reload their page, etc.
The new loading screen is a nice feature! But some of the feedback I've gotten from my players is "now what, do I wait?" and similar responses.
Granted, a lot of the hesitation and uncertainty is on me for my excessive mod use and admittedly ramshackle setup. Still, I think a progress bar (or even some means to customize it with a little animation) would let players know that the system hasn't outright frozen. Do you think something like that would be possible to implement some day? Thanks for your time!
