If you just want a screen to show while you are loading the next level, you just set the screens in the game setup for each level. You can edit the screen using any picture editor to add the text you want to display between levels.

Our game, AlienXcape (http://www.otssoftware.com/AlienXcape.aspx) has unique level screens with information for the player.

Another way to do it would be to play a short (fake) loading screen video at the start of your level by starting in a video zone. Yes, it is cheating but it allows you to be completely free with what it looks like. And it could of course be skipped.

Rakker126,

1) Create a different backdrop for each level (Gamecore_Backdrops)
2) Create a different LoadingPage.fpi file for each level (e.g. MyLoadingPageL1, MyLoadingPageL2, etc.)
3) Inside the MyLoadinPageL2 (for example) change the backdrop setting to the backdrop you want for Level 2
4) In the build settings, change the FPI script for each level to point to your custom FPI script.

Here is an example of MyLoadingPageL2.fpi (2nd level Loading Page FPI script). I have bolded the line that points to your sencond level's backdrop (I had to replace the back slashes with underscore characters because the post editor was removing them, so you will have back slashes as in a Windows path, not "_" characters):

;AIScript from Wizard
;Header
desc = Loading Page Wizard
;Script
:state=0:music=audiobank_music_common_calm.ogg
:state=0:backdrop=gamecore_backdrops_AXLoadingPageL2.jpg
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=50,hudimage=languagebankenglishgamecorebackdropsbasicloading.png,hudmake=display
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=95,hudimage=gamecorehudsloadingbarbox.png,hudmake=display
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=95,hudimage=gamecorehudsloadingbar.png,hudhide=1,hudtype=1,hudmake=internal
:state=0:state=1

I hope this helps.
