Hmm, the splash screen map has something to do with FPS? So if I turn off the splash screen battle entirely I'd get fantastic FPS? That shouldn't be, but I'll take your word for it.

Why rename it to demo_attract_kamino? Can't I name it something unique? Like demo_attract_mrsparkle? (just for example). All I'd have to do is change the XML file's line to that map's name right? Currently I'm using demo_attract_geonosis.ted because it's a 3 way battle between rebs, imps and ZC. Unfortunately, since the cinematic camera loves to linger on destroyed capital ships, it winds up just being camera views of blown-up mon calamari after mon calamari.

Well I'm using the term "splash screen" here as the OP used it: the cinematic battle playing in the background of the main menu. It's not a "picture" so yeah the term isn't accurate. But for this thread it may as well be

That's not really saying much. If I add art/maps, I can't simply add the .rec files from EAW, add them to the XML, and have FOC use them as the splash screen? What I want is screens other than demo_attract_kamino. And I have no idea how to make them with the map editor. edit: Stupid question, but what is front_end_demo_attract.ted? I set that as the demo map in the XML, and now it shows empire vs ZC instead of rebels, but it uses different cinematic angles every time I load the game. It's the same battle but using different viewing angles each time. So I'm closer to what I want, but not quite there yet. I want it to randomly choose which recording or .ted it shows (like I swore EAW did but I guess it was only showing the same battle but with different viewing angles). ATM I'm using demo_attract_geonosis.ted and it's fine. But if there's a way for it to randomly choose one... What allows the splash screen to use different cinematic angles? The original FOC screen was always the same angles.

Sorry about replying to an old topic, but how does this work for FOC? I'd like to change the FOC splash screen, or at least add the EAW screens to it so it's not always the same old rebels vs ZC. I don't see any recordings in my FOC folder?
