This doesn't work

Obviously it does, as there's roughly 3 pages of people saying it does and complimenting it.

But of course you're right; it's worthless and doesn't work since you didn't get it right on your first try. :rolleyes:

You sure you got the pictures right?

im stuck and dont know what to do

hey Sfilip i did everything on the tutorial for making a low quality loading screen and when i go to test it it comes up blank. Im pretty sure i did everything right because ive gone through it agian and agian and it always is black for the loading screen when i test it.I think the source of my problems is the fact that when i go to download the LoadingScreen.mdx file, it says the file could not be found. So i save it instead and that doesnt seem to work. Do you or if anyone knows what is wrong, let me know what i should do? thankyou

File not found? You sure?
That is probably the cause for this, yes, but the file downloads fine for me...
Try again. Or I guess I could upload it somewhere for you.

Hey SFilip,
first thanks for the tutorial it helped me alot, but i everytime i try to add a basic, "low quality" loading screen i get a black screen. here's what i've done:
1) made a pic in photoshop (.jpg) and converted it to .tga with Irfanview as seen here:
tutloadjt4.png

2) converted it to .blp with wc3viewer(load.blp). it said it was succesfull. (at Quality of Compression=60 and clicked yes when it asked to add an alpha channel to it)
3)Downloaded and imported the LoadingScreen.mdx file and imported the newly made load.blp
4) changed the path of load.blp to FullScreen.blp
5) added it using the scenario options. saved and tested.

though i still get the black screen. can you help?

Not really sure, could you upload the picture here?
Are you sure the path is ok? It's supposed to be FullScreen.blp without anything in front.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
