Loading screen problem

[Stumpy_Joe]

Silly question, but I can't get my loading screen to go up correctly. I know it has to be converted from tga to blp and then you import. And that it also has to be a certain size, 512x512 I believe. When I did it at first it was Black only....and then I thought I had it, but it's upside down lol.

What's wrong here and how do I get it right side up? I could just attach my picture for someone to convert if they wanted.

In other words just make sure you import the loading screen model and texture and that you set the texture to the right path. I think you didn't set the path. You can see the path easily with http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tools-560/mdx-pather-62978/ and even change it to (Texture).blp

Yeah, that's where I got my info from and how I got to here lol.

This I did set the file pathing correctly. I even made the name of my BLP file the same as the example so I wouldn't confuse anything. But it's still not working. Is my file corrupt or something? Should I redo it from the start?

Well good news and bad news! Good news is I figured out why it was upside down. I apparently had an old version of the WC3 Image Extractor, but the bad news is my loading screen is now just a black screen again

lol what now?

If it becomes upside down (which one of mine did once too), then just do as I did, rotate it 180 degrees in whatever image editing program you're using. It doesn't matter. Funny thing is, I used the same .blp for the loading screen and a fade filter. On the loading screen, it was upside down, and on the fade filter, it was normal, so I had to use two different .blp that looked the same but turned either way, boosting file size.
So I thought it had something to do with the model I was using for the loading screen.

-Get latest patch
-Make sure it's a .BLP 512x512
-Make sure you have the right LoadingScreen.mdx (2 versions of it one for .TGA and the other for .BLP)
-Make sure you named the filepath to FullScreen.blp (capitals matter)

Oh my gosh it works?!? I'm honestly unsure what's different from what I did before, it seems like the same proccess as the others, but it actually worked! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I must give you some reputation for this

And thank you to the rest of you who tried to help! I appreciate the time you took to help me.
