Hi all,
the title says it all, for creating a custom loading screen, what would be the preferred resolution for this game?

Re: Which resolution for custom loading screen?
Depends on the size of the rest of your mod. 1920x1080 is 10½ MB by itself.
1280x960 seems okay to me; but it also depends on the actual artwork. If your image is not complex, the game might do a decent upscaling of it from a fairly low res original. As an absolute minimum though, it should be at least: 1024x768
*A trick for lower [final] size, is to reduce the actual image colors themselves (with a pattern dither). The high-color image itself is uncompressed, but the image data will compress better in the DAT file when packaged.
