HOW TO CHANGE THE STILL IMAGES THAT APPEAR WHILE LOADING THE GAME & THE MAIN MENU BACKGROUND

The 4 Files that are involved and the order in which they appear are:

1. 00000000.256 (located in the RotWK main Folder)
2. EnglishSplash.jpg (located in the RotWK main Folder)
3. load_w_ea.jpg (located in your extracted art/compiledtextures "lo" folder)
4. installload.jpg (located in your extracted art/compiledtextures "in" folder)

What are these Images?

1. Appears after you double-click the game Icon for just a brief second
2. Appears next for 2-3 seconds
3. Displays for about 5 seconds
4. The Main Menu Background

***NOTES About Image Size:

Images 1 and 2 are size 800 x 600 pixels

Images 3 and 4 are size 1024 x 1024 BUT BUT BUT, ONLY 1024 x 768 is displayed.
You need to make sure that your images for load_w_ea.jpg and installload.jpg are the full 1024 x 1024 but that the actual image you want displayed only takes up the top 1024 x 768 portion. I'm including a template just-in-case.
