OK the image that the map shows when picking a map how do you put one there so its not that default ? thingy?

This was answered quite nicely on the battle.net forums, even though it was an answer to the wrong question, heh.

Battle.net - English Forums -> Campaign Screen

You need .blps, that's true. But you also ned a .mdx file.

I did it in my map like in Blizzard's map where you have to fight with new animal races (Monolith).
This map is in Warcraft III/Maps/Frozen Throne/Scenario/Monolith.w3x

Extract files which are listed below and import (after editing with e.g. Photoshop) to your map.

- LoadingScreen.mdx
- LoadingScreenBL.tga (Botom Left Image)
- LoadingScreenBR.tga (Bottom Right)
- LoadingScreenTL.tga (Top Left)
- LoadingScreenTR.tga (Top RIght)

Now go to scenario and choose 'Loading Screen'.
And check 'Imported' (or something like that). Then choose 'Loading Screen.mdx'.

This will not show the players list on loading. This will also require all players to press a key before the game starts.

I suggest using World Editor Unlimited.
Download in tool section
-> install
-> start enhancer
-> go for "edit map"
-> switch tab

There you can change nearly every image.

BUT be careful. DO NOT use the weu for normal editing e.g. triggers.
I would only use it for images.

Make an image 128x128 or 256x256 and after you import it change the path to war3mapPreview.tga
