Intro:
Hello. I come from TheHelper.net as Knight7770. I'm better known there than here.
Project:
I'm working on a series of cinematics about the knights of the Round Table, the first of which is very nearly finished.
Request:
I need a custom loading screen for my cinematics to make them look more professional.
Images:
Something along these lines would be great:

My first question...
Did you want specific heraldic colors to show, and what devices/colors are important to you?
Can you explain what elements you want out of each of the four pictures?

If you can't explain can you give a rough paste up of what you want?

I am a fan of King Arthur and the round table and would like to work on this project, but I am a slow worker.

Well, as long as the loading screen has knights (with swords or some other weapons) and it looks medieval, it will be fine.
Thanks :thumbs_up:

Know what...might as well. I did this with the fourth shot, it was best in my opinion.

Here's the .blp that you need to import into your map.
Set it's path to custom and set it's name as FullScreen.blp

And here's your LoadingScreen.mdx file. Import that in and just change it toLoadingScreen.mdx

-------
If you've done it right, as long as you have an image it'll work.

That looks great :thumbs_up: However, since it's a bit...bland, maybe adding some brighter colors (or using a different image) would make it look better. That's only if you feel like it, of course. If you don't, this one is definitely better than anything that the standard WC3 loading screens have to offer :thumbs_up:
