Quick Tip – Changing the Loading Screen

How to change the loading screen

You can very easily change the loading screen of your TMU game.

Normally, you see a grey wallpaper with the TMU logo, like here.

You find this loading screen in the folder GameData/Menu/Media/Texture/Image in your TMU folder (not the one in My Documents). It is called – how convenient – MenuStartUpBg.tga. Now just right-click on this file, click on Rename and add the extension .bak to the filename: MenuStartUpBg.tga.bak. Don’t worry, you do no harm to the file.

Now do the following with the image you want to see as loading screen:

1. Open your image.
2. Resize it to 1024×1024.
3. Click on “Save as …”, rename it to MenuStartUpBg, choose TGA as image type and save it.
4. Put it into the folder indicated above.

That’s all. The next time you load up TMU, you should see your screenie.
