Hi, I am working on a Final Fantasy TD and I have tried countless times to make a custom loading screen but apparantly I'm doing something wrong. I have read all the tutorials and I still can't get it to work. It doesnt have to be anything fancy, just something that looks decent. If I use your screen you will get credit in my game and +rep to ppl who try. Thank you

There is a very easy way to make custom loading screens:

1. Go to the tool section.
2. Download "World Editor Unlimited"
3. Install it and start the enhancer.
4. Go to "edit map"
5. Change tab to "imported files"
6. Just give the program your picture and it does the rest.

i think he's asking for someone to draw the picture for him ^^

adema0486, probably better off getting a final fantasy wallpaper off google and adding some writing over the top

I never played ff but I like this: FF wallpaper

That's FF12 what's he looking for is FF7, but I understand since you never played it. I'll help, do you have anything in mind or a picture ready? Plus there is 2 kinds of LoadingScreen.mdx one is for .tga image files the other .blp warcraft 3 image files, so maybe that's your problem? If not just send me the picture and il fix it up.

I wouldn't waste my time with WEU since it's out-of-date, well I'll show you the steps if your using regular WE.

Before using World Editor
1. Get a program that can change the file type and resize it, Infanview will do it.
2. Get a 1024x768 picture
3. Resize it to 512x512, next get either Warcraft III Image Extractor II, or Warcraft III Viewer.
4. Change it to a .BLP file
World Editor
1. Open your map (OMG THAT'S HARD)
2. Open Import Manager
3. Import LoadingScreen.mdx and rename the file path LoadingScreen.mdx
4. Import the picture you wanted, make sure it's a .Blp file
5. Rename the file path to FullScreen.blp
6. Go to Loading Screen properties, check on Import and find LoadingScreen.mdx

There you go now it should work.

To make that clear Tau Empire...

The TRIGGERS of weu are out of date... NOT the map editor...

It's the best tool for adding tiles to your map or using custom loading screen...

Not really since WEU only goes to WE 2.20 and the latest is WE 2.22, beside I tried getting ''unlimited'' doodads didn't work and tried everything. Plus it's better to know how to do it the old fashion way, incase WEU breaks for some reason.
