About this mod
An enhancement of rainvendor's Even Better Loading Screen and Main Menu Replacer - Butthurt Edition.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
Inspired by Nostalgy Menu.
It is H I G H L Y recommended that you install this replacer after Even Better LSMMR, since this mod is intended to enhance the experience. Absolutely N O T advisable for those who installed the Bethesda Edition. Though you can install my replacer by vanilla means, it'll be much more comfortable and safe to do it with a mod manager.
Make sure to replace "SIntroSequence=" with "SIntroSequence=iplaystartup.bik" in Fallout.ini if you want the startup video to play. The drawback of this is that the splash screens, the menu background and the screens during initial game loading will appear slightly blurred, so it's your call.
NVSE and JIP are required.
(Probably for the first time in "main menu replacer" history?) The main menu background now WON'T change itself out of the blue! But the price is that you probably won't see the splash screen after Obsidian's, whether you skip the loading or not. Hate to add a whole new ESP, since getting closer to that damn ESP limit is a bitch, but it's easy enough to just merge it with some other ESP with FNVEdit by yourself.

Fun Fact:
The script I made to make the menu background stay there for good is actually literal garbage, since I have 0 idea on anything regarding scripting (if anyone has suggestions or writes a better one, go ahead). The thing is, if you merely increase fMainMenuBkgdUpdateInterval in the Fallout.ini, it also affects the Obsidian and "Please Stand By" loading screens as well, which was annoying if I wanted them to go all the way to menu naturally, without spamming Enter. Sure, you can just skip the loading screens altogether, everyone does that, but what if you launch the game and go grab a cup of coffee while it loads? At any rate, all the script does is that it taps Enter every 5 seconds as soon as loading_screen_legal appears, while the background update interval has been increased to over 3 hours. The "Please Stand By" screen ends up getting skipped as a result. But hey, at least when you leave the keyboard, it does get to the menu faster, no?
Honestly, the whole purpose of me writing this script is to attract attention to the menu problem - there is a number of people wanting their main menu backgrounds to stay put, but there were no ways to do so, mods or not. I hope someone makes a better solution to this so I can get rid of this awful script I wasted 20 hours on.
LoversLab, of all places, has nice scripting tutorials for beginners, lmoa. They were actually imperative to cleaning up the script, it was even worse before.
God, searching through DeviantArt is a pain.
