Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / February 2005Loading Screens
Just started Route Kanal and the loading screen as changed from the city square to a derelict pond with helicopter. Really cool. Do these screens change at random or as you get further ?

Yes, a new one for every new level you start.

Ben, any idea how to restore the menu backgrounds if you've disabled them and just have the blurred 2D images? I foolishly followed some advice that somebody gave in here to speed up loading times, by typing something like "menubackground none" in the console (can't remember the exact command, but the argument was "none"). However, now that the background has changed, I would like to see it in 3D, but I can't. It seems that all the command did was to make HL2 look for a map called "none", which doesn't exist. A pretty blunt tool, and seemingly irreversible unless you happen to know the name of the map that should be loaded :( Even then, I'm not sure that the map would cycle to the next when the next level started, but it would be a start. Any ideas? Thanks. (I'm not really that bothered, as I haven't played HL2 since early January, but this thread reminded me of the problem) -- Paul > Ben, any idea how to restore the menu backgrounds if you've disabled them and > just have the blurred 2D images?

I checked through my CFG files and couldn't find anything like that. the only thing that I could find which related to it was sv_unlockedchapters (which is obviously the thing that tells the game how far you have progressed) By the way, the 3D Backgrounds don't use the SP game maps, they use special cut-down-size mini maps which only contain the chunk you can see in front of you :) (Imagine if the game had to load the entire 1st map of water hazard every time..)

Yes, I know. That's why it's so bleedin' hard to find out the map names! ;-/ -- Paul >> Just started Route Kanal and the loading screen as changed from the city >> square to a derelict pond with helicopter.

Actually not every level in the game has a background screen. > Just started Route Kanal and the loading screen as changed from the > city square to a derelict pond with helicopter. Really cool.
