Loading Screen Plumbob "Fix"
With the Life & Death patch, there was an update made to the loading screen UI which changed the instance number of one of the plumbob images and as a result, some older loading screen mods made before the patch will show the missing grey llama image instead.
This file brings back the previous plumbob image resources so that you can use older loading screen mods with custom backgrounds made before Oct 22.
You don't need to download this file if you:
Use loading screen plumbob recolor mods (they share the same image resources and work the same as this file).
Use loading screen mods that use custom images instead of the default green plumbob.
Use any loading screen mods that has been updated or created after Oct 22 patch.
While I'm at it, if anyone wants to change the screen color when you load into CAS, you can do so by recoloring this one white strip on the left edge from the # 89677dcddef0114c resource:

Thank you so, so much 💛💛💛 It was really bothering me and I had no idea how to fix it—thanks to you, my whole day is better 😊😊😊
Ty
does this still work?
yes it still works
Thank you for creating this. Do I just plop this into the mods folder? This will be my first ever custom "fix"
Depends on what kind of custom loading screen that you have. If it's made after Nov 2024, then this fix is not needed.
dose this work with the new update?
it works as long as you're only using it for loading screen mods that were made before Oct 22 2024, otherwise this isn't necessary for the more recent mods
hi this fixed the gray llama box issue BUT i have a custom plumbob for my loading screen and it overrides it and uses the base game green plumbob. any fix for this ?
When is your custom plumbob mod made/last updated? If it's made before Oct 22 2024 then you can simply use your custom plumbob mod without this fix (they work in the same way). This fix is only for custom loading screen backgrounds (made before Oct) that don't recolor the plumbobs themselves
Not working with the plumbob override that I have. Mine kept going from green to pink
does this work with the new update?
No it doesn't working with the new update
