Yes pls

Absolutely not, kakariko is not getting removed, it's the most popular map. No idea where you got that from.

Anyways, it would be nice to have these, and myself and/or DEAD could do it but we both hate PHP

The one thing that I seriously like about the current loading screens is that a lot of them feature action and people. Yours look nice - and in the case of TTT, are more accurate - but they don't feature anything going on, and that's really what I'd personally like to see from loading screens.

If you get in touch with me via Steam or Teamspeak, you can tell me what you're thinking and I can try and create it via the ragdoll mover / positioner.

Ssrp has custom ones including one by xxmaster

I like em'

Here's a quick animation I made that reveals the logo and transitions different maps to cycle.

Easy to do, maybe we could have a slideshow for servers that have more maps

But you didn't make these?

It's not that, I'm just curious have you made sure these are free to use?

Narexa wrote: All apart from SSRP are 100% free to use, due to them only being screenshots of the public maps, the SSRP is only a placeholder as I haven't played that gamemode, I have however seen multiple servers use it, no clue on that one.

to be honest i like them because they are simple, i don't see why you would need ' action ' in the loading screens.

definitely
