default loading image

[Anti_Bodies]

I want to change the defualt loading image so that everyone can see the minimap image and the player loading bars, but also so my background image is behind it insted of the regular one. i need to change the default background loading image, does anyone know the path to that? This was done with Swat Aftermath. i think i explained this clearly enough, but if not i can post a screen of what was done in Swat Aftermath's loading image if you need it.

Edit (this is also in my post below)

perhaps i misled you, i know how to make a loading screen. im not a n00b map maker. to be honest im actually quite good with custome loading screens. what im talking about would be this:

a loading screen where it shows all the player loading bars and the minimap image on the left. This is the default for all multiplayer maps, in which u cant add any text on it. in other words, the default loading image where it shows all the player loading bars.

now behind that, their is a dull tan background behind that. i want to find a path to overwrite that, so i can have the player loading bars, minimap image and my background. not just a custome loading screen like most maps, a default loading screen (all player loading bars and minimap image on left), with a custome loading screen in the background.

in order to do that, i need to know the path of the tan default loading screen so i can put in a loading screen overwriting the default path. its not just a normal loading screen.

I think he actually wanted it so that he could have the individual player loading bars, I know there is a way to actually make your loading screen variate depending on what race you are, I've seen it done, just don't know how it was done, (involves changing half the loading screen)

Yeah, thats what I said it's possible, I just don't know how

hm...
Not sure..

Try these paths:
ui\Glues\Loading\Multiplayer\Loading-BotLeft.blp
ui\Glues\Loading\Multiplayer\Loading-Human-BotRight.blp
ui\Glues\Loading\Multiplayer\Loading-Human-TopRight.blp
ui\Glues\Loading\Multiplayer\Loading-TopLeft.blp

OMG it worked exzactly how i hoped it would work! and it looks really awsome! thanks so much man!

 

[ElectricSaiyan]

ahh yes. Victory!
well, sounds great. Good luck with your project man.

 

[Bloody_Demise]

As for changing them, remap two others (like orc for another team) and you can have it customized per team (well race) If that's what you wanted, if you get it to work like that, I'd love to see some screenies of it! Might want to do something like that in my map actually

 

[Anti_Bodies]

oh so if i change the HUMAN in the path to ORC, it will change for all orc players? thats awsome, but i cant make more loading images into the map, its big enough already.

 

[ElectricSaiyan]

Yes, you can basically change the Human in the path to Orc or Undead or whatever you need.

The solution to the space problem is just to force everyone to have the Human race.

 

[Anti_Bodies]

well yeah thats what i was gonna do (make all human), but i was talkin about having a loading screen for team 1 (human), and a different one for team 2 (orcs). thats where i have the space problem. but either way, its cool. thanks.

 

[ElectricSaiyan]

a good way to solve that problem is...
if you have any texture that doesn't have text, I'd half it.

Say, if it were 256 x 256, make it 128 x 128
Should keep a good amount of quality but save some room.

That way you maaaaay be able to squeeze another load screen in there.

The problem with halving the ones with text on them is it will make some text hard to read.

 

[Anti_Bodies]

yeah that would be a good way to do it. but that would be a pretty minor thing in the map, so maybe later on ill do that. till then ill just make everyone human.
