Map Loading Screen generator

$

So, I thought it would be a good idea to write a little tool that looks into your maps, and outputs nice slides to using on the loading screen. Since it works mostly now. I thought the obvious choice would be to ensure that you all got to try it out and give me feed back about it.

Here is what it outputs,(using descent for the minimap and level):

Get it
here

	Usage
		 LoadScreenGenerator.exe name_of_map [path to root]

	it looks at the following files:
		 path/ns2/maps/name_of_map.level -parsed for entites
		 path/ns2/maps/overviews/name_of_map.tga -used for minimap
		 path/ns2/screens/name_of_map/ -created if doesn't exist used to store screenshots
		 path/ns2/screens/name_of_map/src - if jpgs exist here used as the background image instead of concept art
	
	Known issues:
		The font/fontsize is wrong. This causes weirdness on the labels on the mini map
		no vignette effect on screenshots.
		
	ToDo:
		support randomizing the generic screenshots
		support executing the minimap generator if needed
		not have the worlds worst level parser.

Thanks to OnosAteMe his level parse source is way way better than mine. Unfortunately, I am not using his code.

Please let me know if you have any issues, comments etc, running this. It should run in mono and .NET 4.0
