Custom Loading Screen

[BigDude]

Alright, I want to make a loading screen with the original green rectrangles in the middle (just like in the Bnet loading screens)...but with a black backround, basicly I just need a default loading screen but black backround instead of the Race's symbol (If you're playing Human you see a mountain king on the backround)
So how would I do that?
A game that I think has what I need is: Tag! You're It (ver 1.9).
-Thanks

What you do:
1: Set every players race to be the same
2: Import your loading screen, then save the map
3: Go to Terrain Editor > Advanced > Game Interface > Images - Melee Loading Screen
4: Change the field to your imported file

Well something like that anyways, I forget what the Images - Melee Loading Screen really is called so it may be wrong

But I dont have the actual loading screen yet, I just want it pure black, but I want the green rectangles in the middle which tell when a player is done loading to remain on the screen.

Then use the image Textures\Black32 (Its in Warcraft already, but isnt listed anywhere. You can use it for icons too)

Ok so what exactly do I do, I cant find a way to use the black32 you were talking about, what should I do right after loading my map?

I just looked through the interface, the loading screen thing is an MDL, but I am sure theres the texture somewhere. I've changed it to some wierd night elf skin, warden I think, so its probrably not the .mdl one

Ok ive found the black32, but how do i put it in again, can you just tell me what to do right from the beggining after i load my map?

Maybe it was.. hmm.. Ok try this, download Wc3Viewer from tools section at www.wc3sear.ch. Then find the Map Loading Background model (UI\Glues\MapLoadScreen\MapLoadScreen.mdl) and check the Used texture names. Now find that Textures\Black32 and import it with the used texture name (Any black image should do..) then save and test.

Not sure if it works but it prolly will... Sorry it was the model that i changed to a concept art type thing when i was messing around a couple months ago

Ok um, i got the program, but im not exactly sure how to use it, so far ive looked pretty much everywhere in it, i can find the UI/Glues and w/e but nothing about map loading screen...can u be abit more descriptive maybe..?
