I also found another, where you only need ONE picture and loadingscreen.mdx

http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/loadscreen.php

edit- if this doesn't help you, you can reach me on xfire. =o My name is necio. So, uh add and and message me if you still need help.

I'll give it to you right here:
Step 1. Import the loading screen model
Step 2. Make your 512x512 image, convert it to a .blp, and import it
Step 3. Change the path to FullScreen.blp
Step 4. Under the Scenerio menu, click map loading screen, and click the Use Imported File button, then select the imported .mdx for the loading screen.

Indeed, that's what I did. Didn't have to mess with the whole 4 different pictures mess.

Oh and here is the mdx file.

The file you should be working with is an image: resize it with your image editor (Gimp, PhotoShop or whatever). Convert it using Warcraft III Viewer

Custom Loading Screen Tutorial V1.5 shows an alternate method. Also:

Check the Tools section for War 3 Model Editor. It can create a loading screen automatically. It does all the dirty work itself (resizing image etc...).

re:

How come my map and whole editor crashes (without any message it just shuts down) when I import that loadingscreen model?

I have my image ready and all...just can't import that file.

Maybe it is corrupted. Happened to a friend of mine.

re_

Ahh...I see. Well I'll try with the one Neiko attached. Thx.

 

[Campir]

nother problem, the extractor ownt let me load any images bu screen shots onto it. What gives?

The screenshots are .TGA, which is useable with the game, you can't put ANY OTHER FILES into War3 editor than .mdl, .tga, .blp .trg, .unt, and... some other ones, but you need to conver the image to a .blp or a .tga.
