Title: Progress bar

Hi

Alpha Polaris, which was made in Wintermute, has progress bar when wintermute loading data. How it's done?

In Project Manager check the "Saved games" settings on the left panel. It's the indicator options.

Ah I'm sorry. I misread your post. I don't remember how it looked in Alpha Polaris.

Since it's not possible by default with WME, only thing I could imagine is that they load animations one-by-one instead of using the actor file, and after each animation / sprite / etc loaded they update a graphic as progressbar.
