Ok heres how you replace the splash screen.

1. Get yourself a nice 800x600 Pic, that you want to use.

2. Open it with a Graphic Program and cut it into pieces like this:Example Pic (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/scitzo/splashtemplate.gif)

3. Here are the names and sizes of each image:
800_1_a_loading.tga (256*256 Pixel)
800_1_b_loading.tga (256*256 Pixel)
800_1_c_loading.tga (256*256 Pixel)
800_1_d_loading.tga (32*256 Pixel)
800_2_a_loading.tga (256*256 Pixel)
800_2_b_loading.tga (256*256 Pixel)
800_2_c_loading.tga (256*256 Pixel)
800_2_d_loading.tga (32*256 Pixel)
800_3_a_loading.tga (256*88 Pixel)
800_3_b_loading.tga (256*88 Pixel)
800_3_c_loading.tga (256*88 Pixel)
800_3_d_loading.tga (32*88 Pixel)

4. Copy all of the images into seperate windows and save them as tga files, using 32bit Color Depth with the names as seen above.

5. Create a folder in ../Steam/SteamApps/your@email/day of defeat/dod and name it "resource". Create a new folder within that folder and name it "background". Copy all *.tga into that folder and restart dod.

I made a quick example Splash screen to test it out.
