Greetings to all who have checked by this thread and has ever wondered how to changed the loading bar text. Well today I'll show you how to simply change it in just three steps.

STEP1
Make a text (txt) document and name it war3mapSkin

STEP2
Now open the file if you haven't got it open and type down these lines inside it:
[FrameDef]
LOADING_LOADING= THIS IS WHERE THE BAR STARTS MOVING TO LOAD
LOADING_PRESS_A_KEY= WHEN IT FINISHES IT'LL TELL YOU TO PRESS A KEY
LOADING_WAITING_FOR_PLAYERS= AFTER YOU'VE PRESSED A KEY THIS TEXT WILL SHOW

Just replace the bold words with the text you want to be shown at those stages of the loading screen.

STEP3
This is the final step, import the text file you've made into your map with this custom file path war3mapSkin.txt and it will work as soon as you save and reopen your map.

These are really simple steps for you to change your loading screen text if you've always wanted to know how to. Hope you enjoy using this method in your maps.
