World editor can't read tga, you will have to convert it to blp. You can find the tool for this in the thread "Useful trools". I think it's called something like "Wc3 Image Extractor II".

Also you don't need to make 4 parts of loadingscreen. Resize your lscreen to 512x512 and change path to FullScreen.blp (yes convert is neccesary)

But is neccesary that i divide the image in 4 parts becouse i want to do a High quality loading screen, not a basic, "low quality" loading screen. And the new MDX requires TGA files.

WE can read TGA, in fact my Minimap image preview is a TGA.

Completely correct Nocturne, don't know why they said that it can't.

However, have you checked that you use the right quality? 32bit usually does the trick, I don't know why, but sometimes 24bit mess up.

Yes i check that but keeps happen the same... Recently i see a video tutorial made by Ayumilove and she do it with BLP images... I try that too but instead a critical error the screen turns black...

Can someone turn my image into a High Quality Loading Screen please?(i already have divided in 4 parts)

Sure you got that LoadingScreen2.mdx? Because the file you have in your picture is just the LoadingScreen.mdx, which is for low quality. You can google LoadingScreen2.mdx and download it!

EDIT: Oh didnt see you asked about that, you should have LoadingScreen2.mdx for high quality.

One question.. so low file sizes for a high quality screen? And then difference of 100kb between certain parts?

I dont know why have so little size... Another question when i convert to TGA i have to compress or not?

Make sure you...

1) Converted it to .blp.
2) The TGA was 32 bit before converting, not 24 bit (though if I recall, some conversion programs will offer to add an alpha channel, aka the other 8 bits, if the imported image starts as 24).
3) Keep images as low as you can in my opinion. I think there's a limit, but I forget it. Methinks 143KB may be too much for one segment though.

Also, the "4 segment loading screen" vs "one file loading screen" thing is in dispute. Blizzard used 4 portions when they made custom screens (like in Monolith) if I recall, and I managed to do 4 portions for one of my older maps. My newer ones do a single file just fine. I'd stick with 4 portions though, it's manlier!

I've been searching about a software that convert images in 32 bit but i dont found nothing... someone can recomend me a freeware program?

ifranview or w/e its called. Paint.net and gimp work as well. ( make sure compression is off )
