Splash screen is just a BMP file. Replace the file and that should work.

Edit: i just checked this, but it didn't work. Not sure why, because the TNG splash was in there a while ago when I played it. Oh well, to bad.

OKay - you need to have the movie in the exact same format as the existing ones, so try finding that out. Then i would just overwrite (mod correct? so FLMM will back the originals up anyways) the original ones anyway - so name it the same as theirs.

Splash screens are just the Freelancer - no music playing. That aint splash - that is background files or a different nature. I have only had very poor efforts at editing them - as i have no idea what most of it means - i need a tutorial on that one. the music is in the file stipulated in the universe\systems\intro\bases\rooms

Open the three files in there and you cannot miss the music ref - and also the files you see in the background.

The movie file has to be a wmv file, and i have tried to add a new one but with no luck, instead i renamed my movie to fl_intro.wmv which is the intro movie and it works fine.Windows Movie Maker will change your movie file to a .wmv file if your video editing program dosent work.

The start up splash screens are in a TGA format(TrueVision Targa).
There are two sets of splash screens one lot is a BMP and the other a TGA, changing the BMP's wont have any affect.
You will notice that there are two TGA's one is a higher resolution and the other is a lower resolution, your gfx card pics which ever one it feels like so its a good idea to change both.

hope this helps

cheers, shall have a look later!

Well I have tried to change both tga files, but the Freelancer just skips this screen and goes directly to the main menu...
