I want to add a "Loading..." or splash screen to my game. I want it show it on the screen as one of the very first things I do. THen to keep it there as I load all the other media and set things up. Then replace it with the game just before the game loop starts. Can I do this easily with a 3D game? What I have tried with simply loading an image to the screen doesnt work as the following 3D operations interfere.

THis didn't quite work. Through trail and error, I found that I had to Hide each object as I loaded it, and then Show the object just before starting the game loop. Other wise the objects showed up overtop the Loading splash image.

Editing D Ogre's code:


Does that one work? I'm not so sure that hiding every object is the best way to do it...

Edit: WAIT NEVERMIND... THIS IS DB NOT DBPRO THAT WON'T WORK

this will only work if you have lots of objects to load, otherwise it won't stay on the screen for long enough to read>>>


hope it helps!
