Looking for old Splash Pages

[EQstarr]

A small update.

I did find some files called "bmpwad.s3d". In the first one, there is a file called "logo03.bmp" and that's the original "loadscreen" for Everquest. However, I can't find any others. All I have installed right now is EQ with PoP. I didn't patch to Live yet.

If the Planes of Power "loadscreen" is on here, I can't find it.

yeah , they are in the bmpwad files , the others in the eqfeart.pak files are start screen , the ones in the bmpwad files are like the one in bmpwad5.s3d called eqvload.bmp those are what your looking for.

bmpwad5....

That file isn't there when installing the PoP CD's, but then again I already have the Velious loadscreen.

Here's the files I have when installing the actual box version of PoP (which comes with EQ classic):

bmpwad.s3d
bmpwad2.s3d
bmpwad3.s3d
bmpwad6.s3d

Now in these 4 files, none of them had the "loadscreen" for Planes of Power. I wonder if that was a file that was downloaded from EQLive at the time?

What I did do was copy bmpwad7.s3d and bmpwad8.s3d from my wife's computer over to mine, and I actually found the Shadows of Luclin load screen. So that was cool.

I don't see a bmpwad4.s3d, though. I wonder what happened to that one? I'm also wondering where the Ruins of Kunark load screen is at and if it was in a "bmpwad" file that was overwritten.

Well, as it stands I only need the following to complete my collection:

Ruins of Kunark
Plains of Power
Legacy of Ykesha
Lost Dungeons of Norrath

I think I may need help with the Ykesha one, unless it's on the EQ Platinum set somewhere. I may need someone to dig through their CD and pull it out for me.

I thought it would be nice of me to share the images I've been able to collect so far. You'll see the 4 that I'm missing. If you know where I can find the other four, then that would be awesome!

This is a nice collection of nostalagia.

Ok , heres all i can find , I think after they started using the resource folder for the loadscreens it just deletes one and replaces it with the new one so the previous one is lost , Im not sure when they started using the resource folder .

Thank you for the Kunark page. Too bad you didn't have the PoP or Ykesha ones; I noticed you had the "start" screen versions of them. That would be very cool to actually find those "loadscreens".

I think the "resource" folder was added with "Gates", because I"ve noticed that when I install EQ from the CD's I don't get a resource folder until I get to the "Gates" expansion or if I try to install from the EQ Plat series (which includes everything up to Gates).

So I wonder where the "loadscreen" files are for PoP, Ykesha, and LDoN? I've got the separate CD's for PoP and LDoN, but I"m at a loss to figure out where the art files are.

Thanks for everyone's help. This is a cool list we got going here.
