[Solved] Custom loading screen shows way too late.

[Retria]

So I made my custom loading screen and it works buuuut...

Like 90% of the loading time is loading screen black and then my beautifull loading screen is shown for only like 2 seconds


I tried to google that issue but there is too many people having problem with making cusotom loading screen and/or long loading times so I could not find relevant answer if it exist.

are you using tga or Blp ? and have you try split your loading screen up in to 4 ?

I am using .dds according ti this guilde, 1920x1080

High Resolution Loading Screens

In this tutorial, you'll find how to get a HD Loading Screen. There's two methods available. ".dds" & ".tga" The one you choose is based on the Warcraft 3 version you have. Users on the Latest Patch can choose between either, although using a ".dds" import is superior as it uses a lower file...

use one of this 2 files. one of them well work for you .
next You need a 1024 x 768 pixles image or a reasonable size as your custom loading screen. (must be quite large)
Slice the 1024 x 768 image for your custom loading scren into 4 parts. (like dividing a piece of cake into 4) NOW FOLLOW CAREFULLY THIS PART - Bottom left and bottom right sliced parts of the image MUST be 512 x 256 pixles and Top left and Top Right parts MUST be 512 x 512 pixles.

and ad them to your map as blp
name them
LoadingScreenBL.blp
LoadingScreenBR.blp
LoadingScreenTL.blp
LoadingScreenTR.blp

and see if this well work for you

My loadscreen appear black just like yours only in world editor, but in multiplayer with players work just fine.

I always wandered why I have that black screen 90% of loading. So in Multiplayer it's okay?
