Better loading screen
New, WishlistPublic

Description

The current loading screen is not designed for MP.

At the moment, often server owners/communities scratch out the scenario authors name and put their own name in the 'author' entry, their own text, and their own image.

I believe there should also, (perhaps optionally?), be space for community owner/editor for their details in addition to the scenario designers loading image/text/author.

Further discussion:

In MP ecosystem, we can have a few important parties who make the scenario playable.

  1. The scenario author. (who created the content).
  1. The server/community owner. (who pays the bills).
  1. Whoever maintains the scenario for that community. (scenario editor, bug fixer, etc).

At the moment, only the scenario author has space on the loading screen.

Often this is modified by the server/community owner or whoever does the editing for their community. Often this results in the scenario authors name being scratched out, different loading image being displayed and different description text being put in.

Both the content creator and server owner are responsible for the experience users have beyond the loading screen.

In my opinions, the communities would stop editing the scenario designers loading screen if there was also space for the community to display some names, an image and some text.

I believe at the moment the scenario loading screen is not friendly enough for the MP ecosystem.
