[General] How to change loading background?

[stan0033]

How to change the default background when loading a map? not a campaign loading screen, but the background that comes with the list of player slots. There must be something in game interface, but dunno what.

Just google "Warcraft 3 loading screen custom" and there should be a ton of results. (One of them)

Basically you have to import two files. One is a 512x512 blp Image with the Path FullScreen.blp, along with a loadingscreen.mdx file

In the Map Settings, on the loading screen tab you set the loading screen to the LoadingScreen.mdx and it will use your custom loading screen.

I didn't mean this! I know how to change the loading screen. I'm asking how to change the other background. For example you're loading default melee map. it loads with lsit of the players! i want to change the image behind.

Import the two images at the same path as the existing images. The screen is divided into left and right images, with the left being generic and the right being based on player race. You get your image, split it in two down the middle (from top to bottom) and then import it over the two background images appropriately. You can use a MPQ symbolic links to use the same image file at 4 different paths for each races right side loading screen images (saves file space as images are large).
