Is it posible to have a custom loading screen on Player.MoveTo() loading and how ?

For a cheap effect to simulate distance or something there's:

http://www.creationkit.com/FadeOutGame_-_Game

The only thing I can think off the top of my head is:

Load screens have conditions to them.
They will only display if they're appropriate. After dragons have returned, and whatnot depending on the subject of the loadscreen.

It may be simpler than this, I'm not certain, but if you add a custom global or some other tracking method.. then

Add a condition to EVERY loadscreen to not show if this variable is set in a certain way. Then make your loadscreen of choice display when this variable was set.

Beware, however, this could conflict with the uncle sheogorath mod(sp?) it also edits each loadscreen manually. It's pretty popular, and awesome mod.

Maybe a http://www.creationkit.com/PlayBink_-_Game? You can record your screen while the games loading, convert to .bik (Bink File) and forcibly play it.

Thanks for FadeOutGame : added, it's realy a cheap effect !

The problem is when the Player.MoveTo() occur loading screen is black with fog and Player level in the right up corner, no custom loading screen or any original game loading screen appear, no mater conditions I've tried. [EDIT] Same with Game.FastTravel() in place of MoveTo...[/EDIT]
But my custom loading screen work great when loading savegame or when fasttraveling. (with GetQuestRunning condition for exemple)

Maybe a PlayBink()? You can record your screen while the games loading, convert to .bik (Bink File) and forcibly play it.

PlayBink() is not a bad idea, but will add two loading screens one when playing video and second when MoveTo().

MoveTo shouldn't be bringing up loading screens unless you are moving to another cell.

The MoveTo, in my script, is in the Tamriel world and an "empty" loading screen appears well but without contents (mesh or sentences)

I've tried to replace MoveTo() by FastTravel() and I've got the same result....

Oh, well I believe that's because there are no conditions for the loadscreens to play when In the "Tamriel" space. You can see this in Miscellaneous > LoadScreen. If you double click one you can see there is no "GetInCurrentLoc" for Tamriel. You would need to set these all yourself...

It's seem that's it's not that... Tryed from Witherun with "WhtiterunLocation" : no more loading screen... And I see there LoadScreen whiteout condition who load well in standard Fasttravel or loading/saving game loading screen...

Perhaps it's specific to http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=12779 or the way I've script it :
