Ah cool Ant, I never thought of that, that will solve any problems with the thread taking longer than expected to finish.
LOL and Flameduck, I think its a hell of a lot better to sit and watch some nice wee game intro than to sit looking at a static loading screen..
I mean if its a simple choice between looking at "Loading please wait ......" or some nice looking logo thing or game intro I know what one Id pick.
OF course though all loading should be kept to a min to make sure the player gets into the game nice and quick.
