TNO Loading Screens / Revized and Improved

Description
Sorry for my long absence, I had changed from Windows to Linux so my access to all my previous mods was lost. I recently felt like revisiting my mod and expanding upon it. So here it is, the product of my labor.

Not to insult my previous self, but man were they... not up to my standard. I don't know why someone would subscribe to them lol.

So, to compensate for my lackluster standard and for being away for so long, I'm going to treat you with:
-Redoing all my previous loading screens, changing their border, thus making them cleaner and brighter, as well as making them more faithful to the original TNO loading screens
-Changing all the previous loading screens that I felt didn't fit with the theme of my mod, had bad scaling, or were plain ugly
-More exciting of all, adding a brand new total of 52 total loading screens!!!!!!

This will bring the total to 145 loading screens!!!!

My aim with this mod was to focus more on the civilian/everyday life aspect of the new order, since this is first a politics and then a war mod; It allows to see how people live in this dark timeline. Thus there are more images about street life across the globe though not without putting aside the military stuff.
(Small tangent but this is the perfect mod for street photography aficionados, honestly, looking at old archives of photos was really cool and it really made me feel like time travelling to the past, one which, mostly, doesn't exist anymore. One could almost touch the people on the other side of the photo. So if you like all the civilian pictures, I recommend you visit the site vintag.es and have a blast through the past, since that was my main source for the loading screens)

I covered all major and most medium countries that have content like Iberia, Brazil, Thailand, Burgundy, South Africa, Scotland, Argentina, China, France, Egypt and the palestinian territory with at least 1 image, and often more.

All the images are here, no problem if you use them as long as you credit me of course:

Please, if you want me to add a scenario or country, don't hesitate to write it in the comments. You have my word that I will at the very least search for some photos to add, and probably add them if I find one appropriate. I'll use any excuse to browse some old pictures.

If you didn't like all these changes, there is still the previous mod, unchanged; but know that I wont support it anymore. Also all the previous loading screens are also in the link above so you can decide for yourself which one to download

Please enjoy, and don't do to much genocide on your citizens!!!!!

20th Of May Update: Ever since I relaunched this mod, I was left with a sour taste in my mouth. I felt I may had emphasized to much the civilian life aspect of the mod, and that I neglected the military stuff as a result. Well, to counteract this, I added 12 new loading screens all centered in one way or another to the martial aspect of the universe. Also, I felt like I also neglected the actual lore of the game, so a lot of events that happen through out a playthrough were also somewhat missing, and this update seeks to alleviate this as well. The new loading screens are in the link above, but the summarized version is: 3 of the French Army, 2 of the Yasuda Crisis, 4 of the Italian Army, 3 of the GCW, 1 of German Africa, 2 of the Imperial Japanese Army, 1 of the Verona Conference, 1 of the Iberian army/Algerian War and 1 of the Barcelona War. Overall, this were all very time consuming to obtain, specially the Army ones. So because of this, as well as feeling like the mod is already complete, I will not add any more loading screens in the near future. If you want to make me add one, you can still suggest it in the comments and I will still add it. But I will no longer add more out of my own volition. I am still open to replacing some older ones that I still am not too satisfied with, but my aim is to not expand the size of the mod too much since it's already massive. I will probably never reach the 200 mark, nor do I wish to. This isn't a farewell, but a see you later. I am now working in another giant mod for TNO, but instead of the visual domain, I will cover the auditory side of the world. So stay in the lookout for it. Have a good one and God bless you!!

20th (Funny coincidence) of June: Russian and clean up update, added 5 high quality russian soldier photos, which was my goal from the start but never found the right ones. Also changed some older loadingscreens that I never really liked. In the link above you can see the new and now outdated loading screens (They are so good please check them out). A net total of 3 new loading screens were added, bringing the total number to 166 (before there were 163). As of now, I'm more content than ever with the mod, so production will slow down even more, there are 2 or 3 loading screens that I'm on the fence about that I might change later, but as of now I am happy. The auditory mod is in hiatus because of some problems, but I will try to release it as soon as possible. As always if you have anything to say to me please leave it in the comments. Have a good one everybody!

9th of December: Long time no see huh, I am bored and it's 2:20 am and figured I'd upadte this mod I like so much. I don't have the energy to actually critically use my brain to decide the right pic so I only compressed the pictures halving the weight of the mod, 850mb to 450mb (ignore the math lol). Also forget about the "auditary mod". That ♥♥♥♥ aint working lol. Maybe tomorrow I'll add some pics I have stored throughout these months but idk. At least I saved some space on y'all's computers. Anyways peace, David out!

Thank you very much! Glad to see its still being used. Sadly, I lost access to this mod too, which means it won't be updated further. Pains me cause I feel now, knowing much more about what the 60s were and meant, and just all the things that happened during those years; I'd be able to include some more... purposeful... photos, and not just some admittedly surface level pictures like (some) of these are. Maybe I'll make a volume 3, but I doubt it considering I haven't played this game in years. In any case, if anyone wants to make a separate mod built upon this, they are free to do so. Anyways, thanks for the long compliment lol.
BTW, if you like the nazi photos, 95% of them were made by Hugo Jaeger, Hitler's personal photographer. They are pretty nice

This is without a doubt a must have mod for anyone’s TNO playset. The colorized photos really help with the immersion, and easily trick your mind into thinking these photos of German generals, locations, and N*zi iconography were taken in the 50s and 60s. My favorite is a picture of the Eiffel Tower with the flags of the world, and you can just make out the flag of the Third Reich amongst all the other flags that we’re used to in OTL. Really helps convey the levels of normality in this otherwise nightmare scenario of a world. Great work and seriously, this mod is amazing!
