loading screen

[UreDe4D]

Hello, how can i use a wc3 screenshot as a loading screen? (i have also saved it in jpg if this is easier)
i tried to import it, but then it sais sth like "no existing imported files" in the loading screen manager.
i saw in another map that the creator used a .mdx file, so i opened the picture and resaved it as .mdx file, i could select the file then, but the loading screen was completely black
can you help me?

War3 Model Editor has a loading screen maker (in Extras tab)

hm, i used the model editor to creat the screen, but when i start the game, the loading screen is still black, i have attached the file maybe you can find out what i did wrong

 

[Need_O2]

did you import the pictures too ?

i don't know excactly what you mean, i used a square picture (842x842) in the model editor, then generated a .blp file and saved it as .mdx file, then i imported the .mdx file into the wc3 editor and selected it for loading screen, but the ingame loadingscreen is completely black

NO NO you doing it all wrong...

go to Extras-> Loading Screen and use it. After you done with it you'll need to import mdx and blp file

this is just what i did, i attached a picture of the model editor
next thing i did was pressing "ok" and go to "file" ---> "save as"
i saved it as "loadscreen.mdx" then i imported the .mdx and the .blp file into the editor. then i go to scenario --> map - loadscreen options (don't know the correct englishtanslation) ---> use imported file: loadscreen.mdx
but the loadscreen is black

When importing the .blp, did you remove the "War3MapImported\" prefix in its path? If not, do it.
