Loading screens!

Hello!

Let me introduce a first test release of a new mod - "Lusty Loading Screens". 

While testing background edits, I got kind of tired of staring at the same loading screen. "Wouldn't it be cool" - thought I - "If instead of a single picture with random tips there are several pictures (chosen randomly from a pack) with appropriate text? 

After some research I found out a way to show random loading screens. Not the best way, mind you, but a workable one. It will slightly increase number of enemies and probably can reduce spawning chance of Thing from the Stars miniboss (you will need The Color of Madness DLC for the mod to work), but apart from that I haven't found any problems. It is still in a VERY early alpha, so I’m hoping for your feedback.

Currently there are only 3 screens for Ruins in the mod.

If you:

1) Want to test the whole mod, then download "full_mod" archive and unpack it into game's directory. It will replace  some files, so you may want to backup files in ...\Darkest Dungeon\dlc\735730_color_of_madness\dungeons\crypts folder just in case.

2) Want just pictures without the mod, then download "just pictures" archive and replace \loading_screen\loading_screen.crypts_0.png in your game with the image that you prefer.

Next week I plan to post a montly report and outline my future plans, so stay tuned.
