Saving loading screen picture to MDX plz help

[squorpion]

As the tittle sais i need help saving an image file to .MDX here is what i am doing.

I am using a program called War3Model Editor which also includes a loading screen creator. So i made my loading screen put it in this program to change the file into a file warcraft exepts. the only problem is is saves the file as MDL which warcraft does exept but does not exept for loading screens. case and point is, I manually save the file as MDX-Error occurs saying Unable to Save blah blah blah unknown extension .MDX. so how do I save this file as .MDX

Thanks in advance for any ideas

Why not do it Manually? Use Image Extractor or Warcraft 3 Viewer.

I'll explain it ok?

Get a loading screen 800x600 or 1024x768

Once your done. Open the Warcraft 3 Viewer or Image Extractor II

Warcraft 3 Viewer ---
Once you open it, you see 2 windows. Press CTRL+V and choose your tga/bmp. file. Click it then it would open another window and it saves it to a blp. program.

Image Extractor II
Open your Tga file. And click save, Image. it saves it as a blp.

Ohhh! I get your question. First you have to download a 

Loading screen mdx. That's the mdx you're looking for.

Import your blp file. Change its path to FullScreen.blp

As for the loading screen.mdx. No need.

download a loading screen???? what do you mean. i already made my loading screen and i need that one to be converted to MDX right now i have it in BLP and JPEG

 

[Atreyu]

First, covert your loading screen to blp.
using ----
Image Extractor or Warcraft 3 viewer.

Download a loadingscreen.mdx from the site.

Import your loading screen and change its path to Fullscreen.blp.
Import your loadingscreen.mdx

Go to scenario - Choose the loadingscreen.mdx.

Here is your problem: you're trying to save an image as an mdx file. Images are always going to be either blps or tgas. Models are always going to be either mdls or mdxs.

so what should I do to make it work?

Make sure your blp has the right path, and listen to Atreyu.
