Loading Screens for RoC

[chunkamongus]

What is the file type of loading screens, and what name should I save it under if I'm using MPQMaster?

The file format is targa, the extension is .tga. If it's a single image, save it as LoadingScreen.tga.

If you want, you can split your image into four quarters. Then you would need to name the top left image LoadingScreenTL.tga, the top right image LoadingScreenTR.tga, the bottom left image LoadingScreenBL.tga, and the bottom right image LoadingScreenBR.tga.

There is a file named LoadingScreen.mdx, but don't touch it. It's not the one you want.

I tried that

And did it work?
If not, can you tell me what happened? Did WC3 crash, did it have a critical error, did it just not select the game, did the image not work...

Also, can you tell me what program you're using? A few programs have issues with targa images, and it could cause problems.

Just didn't show.
Im using MPQ Master

XD
Not what MPQ program, what image program are you using for it?
By the way, make sure that you have a good listfile. If the file isn't showing in MPQMaster, then I suggest using RMPQEx or MPQRecover to generate a custom listfile for the map, so that you can get the image.

I made the image with Infranview

and ive put in a minimap with this program

Don't doublepost, if you have something to add, just edit your previous post.

A few people have had the same problem, using Irfanview. The images it makes just don't seem to work. I suggest using a different program that supports targa.

but i did put in a working minimap, and i think loading screen is different form than .tga
