Question regarding the loading screen

[Kiido]

Hi everyone.

How do I remove the "Press any key to continue" during the loading screen?
I checked http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?t=125096
but it didn't give any concise answer.
The thread says that an imported loading screen does not have the "press any key" function. My map uses an imported picture in the loading screen, but it still has this problem. Help!

Refer to my map: http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?t=148260

Here you go:

Just import as wc3mapSkin. You can change the text however you want.

What he wants to do is remove the need to press any key to continue, not change the text.

^ Yup, the text is not the issue here, it's the need to press any key.

After importing your custom image as loading screen, make sure that you try it in a LAN (or B.net) game. In single player you need to press a key every time, in LAN you can test if you actually need to or not.

I made a tutorial about this, but I had a lot of things wrong. However, you can still learn from it

Hope it helps ^^

Yep, I've tried it in both lan and online games, the need to press any key persists.

I checked out your tutorial, it was great. Although, will I be able to do this with the loadingscreen.mdx method? (the one where you don't need to quarter your image)

Anyway, I will try step 4 alone, if it still doesn't work, I'll try removing all the text. I'll post the results when I have em.

Okay, step 4 (set to melee - latest patch) didn't work, but removing all the text in the loading screen does.

I guess ill just put the text directly into the .blp of my loading screen.

[del]I've noticed that maps with shorter load times usually have the "press any key to continue" thing, but larger maps do not. Maybe this function was designed so that people aren't thrown into a game thinking the load time will be longer than it actually is, and thus not being ready to play (going afk for half a min or so during load...we all do it).[/del]

IGNORE ME!

its pretty simple.

in single player the "press any key to continue" is always there, you cannot remove it.

in multiplayer (lan / BNet) "press any key" is required only if your map got a description text. no description, no press any key.

yeah, that'll probably be better anyway. you can't place the text wherever you want at any rate. so put the text on the picture works good. it's just kindof a drag to add on a new version number every time you want to update the map...

Lol, so I took a screenie of the loading screen with Editor-placed text, and cut and pasted it onto the .blp of my new loading screen.

Looks absolutely -horrible- but oh well, gotta limit the map size...
