Alternate Loading Screens 1.1.0 β€” Baldur's Gate 3

Post by Makirige »



Overview
Alternate loading screens for HQ mods.


Wylls of Toril - Karlach Trophy version


I improved the faces of the characters that weren't true to the game. The blood on Shadowheart has been removed, Lae'zel's scar has been removed, and Astarion's wrinkles have been softened.

The top Wyll one probably needs a little more shadow or something on his face.
He's very prominent (they made him so to show off the *****) and it looks a little "smooth" and stands out a tad too much compared to the rest in that one. Tone it down a bit with some shadow or something and it'll look great!

The second one (difficulty selection) is fantastic.

I wonder if you could shrink him down a little, too. They made his head wayyyy too big compared to the others lol (in the original).
If possible, shrink him just a little, and then reduce the "smoothness" on his face (look at Gale's for comparison) and it will look amazing. :)

Better than airbrushed out, fully converted lolol.

yeah, u're right, he's too big compared to the other characters, while though he's not that important. :groan:

Could you add the face improvements you added to the Karlach Trophy version, to the regular Wyll of Toril version? I don't know if you already have that planned

Do you mean alter the lighting/ rendering on Karlach on the non-beheaded version, because she stands out a lot?

No, I mean taking away the blood from Shadowheart, the excess wrinkles on Astarion, and the scar from Laezel. Only the beheaded version has those edits

I wish you'd done a version with the blonde straight haired blue eyed will too. I wanted to make him as white as possible but now I'll have to stick with his curley haired black Irish genes and ridiculously Spanish moustache just to match the loading screen :(

We need a version with a decapitated (nauseating and insanely irritating) elf vampire-wanna-be as well.

There were alternative Steam background and launch pictures somewhere on this site, as well as pictures removing the characters entirely from the difficulty selection screen, but I can't find them anymore. Are some of those included, or just what is mentioned in the mod description?

Minor thing, but if someone wants to change it normal wyll is still visible in the difficulty selection screen.

I was almost tempted to just live with this, since you only need to see this once per playthrough, but here:
https://f.rpghq.org/l9AFJ97N8mti.zip?n= ... anager.zip

White Wyll:
β–Ί Show Spoiler
Alternate no characters version:
β–Ί Show Spoiler
Keep in mind that these images will be smaller in-game, so flaws shouldn't matter as much.

The no characters version is in a folder labeled alternates at the bottom of the directory tree. You'll need to copy them out and delete the other ones, then remove the "_ALT" from the end of their names. There are two assets folders, but only the AssetsLowRes folder seems to matter on my install.

Do you have a version for the Steam background? I don't know the correct sizes for these things so I can't resize this on my own.
Yes, I hacked together one:
https://f.rpghq.org/HyWO33MgR10s.zip?n= ... Images.zip

You should be able to drop them in this folder (probably on your C drive) and override what's there. I suggest backing up the 3 in there just in case. (There's a 4th one but it's blurry and small.)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\appcache\librarycache

Also, I updated the images to make his face less blurry compared to the others.
Those seem to be the ones. Maybe they could be added for downloading in the mod description?
