To use this mod after installing it, place as many.png files as you like in:
BepInEx/plugins/CustomLoadingScreens/
The mod will choose one image at random for the Loading... part, and optionally another for the screen with the tips.
You can optionally add a tips.txt file with one tip per line if you want to replace the tips with your own list. Tips can be shown on both parts of the loading screen.
You can also customize the vignette, color mask, and other settings in the configuration file.
The mod comes with an empty tips.txt file and three.png files from Wikipedia that are vaguely related to Vikings.
The tips shown in the screenshots come from:
The original author makes no guarantee about the accuracy of the Viking facts on that site.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
