Well, I wasn't 100% satisfied with how se4 stretched the image, so I created a 1280x1024 Version and guess what?..
I first made a 1280X1024 folder in the \screens\ folder to see if by chance it would load it, but it didn't. Then I said, hmmm, what if I replace the 1024x768 Version with this larger bitmap? will the program crop it then enlarge? or will it use it at full rez? well to my pleasent surprise it used the 1280x1024 Version. Now this looks great at 1280x1024, but I haven't tried it at 1024x768, is someone running the game at this rez who could test out my image? I'm wondering if se4 will crop the big pic or rescale it downward to 1024x768. (I'm also curious what happens at 800x600. maybe we have been creating different size intro pics and se only needs one at the max rez.)
I know I can just set my screen rez at 1024 and try it myself, but that throws off all my desktop icons and I don't feel like re-arranging my desktop.
So, who wants to see/try my new 1280x1024 intro pic? and Does someone want to host it? (I'll create a high quality .jpg that can then be converted to .bmp before running the game.)
Cheers!
