*Loading Screen*
A simple costum loading screen, just import the "LoadScreen.blp".
Demo map attached.

*****How to change the loading image******

First get an Image editing program that can open TGA files.(ex. Photoshop)

Open any blizzard skin in the program, find and c'n'p or draw a new image and save it as "LoadScreen.tga", then convert it to blp.

Then just import the "LoadScreen.mdx" and "LoadScreen.blp" in your map and set the path of the texture to "LoadScreen.blp" (just the delete the "war3mapImported\")
And change the loading screen in the map options.

Note: The Image must be, 256x256, 512x256, 512x512, 1024x1024 or similar in order to work.

Or you can just extract the LoadScreen.tga or whatever it's called, edit it, and then stick it back in. You shouldn't need to fiddle with the .mdx file.

Unless you aren't just editing it, you're actually adding one to a map. See how it's different?

Change implies that something already existed to be modified, not creation of a new one.
