Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew how to extract the games loading screen art or where it would be? The images I refer to are the ones you get before loading a mission, seeing a Castigator facing off a Judas, or some Sprawlers in a swamp for jungle maps and the Skulk in a wasteland map.

I know you can simply take a screenshot, but this leaves the loading bar at the bottom, so I am hoping to get the original image if possible. Any advice or pointers to upload hosting would be appreciated.
I second this question ^
The images are split into 4 tga files, which are located inside of the zwp for a given world.
For example, \worlds\jungle.zwp.
You can use drpack.exe to extract the zwp files.

So for example,
\worlds\jungle\art\textures\interface_wallpaper_loading1.tga
\worlds\jungle\art\textures\interface_wallpaper_loading2.tga
\worlds\jungle\art\textures\interface_wallpaper_loading3.tga
\worlds\jungle\art\textures\interface_wallpaper_loading4.tga
In case anyone is nostalgic for these wallpapers (like me) and stumbles upon this thread, you may have a very hard time locating a copy of this mysterious drpack.exe. Especially if you are completely ignorant to the modding scene for these old games.

Anyway, it's supposedly included on the Dark Reign 2 cd, but I didn't have that, and I couldn't find it in the GOG install folder either.

If you search google for the phrase "*WIP* Tools for creating Army Men RTS Mods" however, you will find the link to a forum thread where you can find a download link for a DrPack tool that has inside its .zip file the drpack.exe.
You don't actually need to install the tool, you can use the drpack.exe found inside the .zip as is.

Run "drpack.exe /?" inside a cmd to see the switches it accepts.

The wallpaper is split into 4 pictures like a puzzle that you'll have to stich together in an image drawing app like paintDOTnet or similar.

Hope this helps any future seekers. I didn't put in the direct link to the tool location because I'm not sure what GOG's forum policy is on posting links.
