SetupLoadScreen(string&asTextCat, string&asTextEntry, int alRandomNum, string&asImageFile);

asTextCat - This is the category in the .lang file where to find the entry for the loadscreen text shown during a loadscreen.
asTextEntry - This is the entry that will contain the text message displayed during the loadscreen
int alRandomNum - This sets the amount of different text messages that can be displayed. Say if you set this as 3, for instance, you would need to add 3 different entries in your category for the loadscreen.
asImageFile - This is the picture to display, put the file name of the image here. no extension. Must be a .jpg, I haven't experimented otherwise.

Okay Example of the command. This can be put wherever your feel like it. The loadscreen will not change until you use this command again.

Code:

SetupLoadScreen("LoadingText", "Text_", 3, "TDG_Storage");

example of extra_english.lang

Code:

    <CATEGORY Name="LoadingText">
        <Entry Name="Text_01">Text</Entry>
        <Entry Name="Text_02">More Text</Entry>
        <Entry Name="Text_03">Even More Text</Entry>
        <CATEGORY>

It will chose one of the 3 entries to display during the loadscreen. Your loadscreen image must be in a folder called "images" in your custom_story.

P.S if i made a mistake in the code, I'm sorry, it's late over here and a hurricane is incoming.

Code:

<CATEGORY Name="LoadingText">
        <Entry Name="Text_01">Text</Entry>
        <Entry Name="Text_02">More Text</Entry>
        <Entry Name="Text_03">Even More Text</Entry>
        <CATEGORY>

This said for example if you want to show More Text into your loading screen it would be:

Code:

SetupLoadScreen("LoadingText", "Text_02", 1, "TDG_Storage.jpg"); //now it shows everyone that More Text whatever you do!

If you want to show one of the random texts, then use:

Code:

SetupLoadScreen("LoadingText", "Text_", 3, "TDG_Storage.jpg" //Leaving number after Text_ empty shows that number is generated randomly. And that 3 (instead of 1 in previous) shows that first 3 numbers in extra_english.lang, one of them will be used randomly!

I hope it helped, if it didn't feel free to ask more info!
