+A random picture from load_splash.ani is shown during Vega Strike loading.<br/>
-== Edit <code>vegastrike.config</code> ==
+* Create a subfolder in the "animation" folder, named "load_xxx.ani" (where xxx represents any string chosen by you).
-Edit your <code>vegastrike.config</code> file in any text editor.
+* Create inside a text file with the same name : "load_xxx.ani"
-* Search for the <code><graphics></code> section;
+* Paste your own pictures in the subfolder, and adjust the *.ani" file, as seen above.
-* Find the line <code><var name="splash_screen" value="</code> {{Fixme}} ''Maybe the default value would be good to inlude here.''
+* In vegastrike.config, replace the default  "*.ani" file name (please see above) by yours.
-* Insert the name of your new splash directory into the list already there.
+** Search for the <code><graphics></code> section;
