This is the simple way to make a loadscreen that will look #1. If you follow these steps you'll be happy of the result.

1. get your loading screen image in 1280x1024
2. Resize it to 1024x1024
3. Save it as something.
4. Create a blank canvas thats 1280x 1024 and colour it black.
5. Copy your first image onto the black canvas, making it central.
6. Resize the whole thing to 1024x1024
7. Convert the jpg to dds by using a dds converter that can be found via Google or on the my site.
8. Convert your dds with asset manager to have your .iwi and material file.

Nope that did not work. I used dds converter 2.1.

No loading screen showed up. I wish there was a better tutorial here with pic's of everything step by step and not just the pic's of the assest tool.

Something you must know. Tons of mappers are using this tutorial with success. If its not your case, maybe you have to learn how to read each steps carefully and do it exactly the way its explained.

This is real easy to do and, as far as I'm concerned, the easiest step in mapping.

Many tutorials are available. Most of them will give you a stretch loadscreen. Not this one.

Another thing, namming the things correctly should also help, its not a loadingscreen but a loadscreen. If you use the wrong spelling, I can imagine you make it wrong when you didi it.

Try again, follow each steps carefully, it will works.

Really I starting to think making the map is the easiest part. Why can't CoD2 be like CoD and UO, I never had a problem making loading screens for that.

Look I read the tutorial 5 times over and did it as it siad. I use the dds plugin that he posted for photoshop, I used the dds conveter 2.1, I even used Paint.NET and its dds plugin.

Nothing works. the closes I got was when the map started to load it show the screen to big but not in the maps window.

ok it working now. I stoped using nView and am using s3 for the plugin to convert to dds.

PS: in the tutorial he calls his dds file loadingscreen_mp_mapname and then tells you to save it the gdt file as loadscreen_mp_mapname. Why the 2 names, why not call both the dds file and the gdt file loadscreen.

I don't know wich tutorial you are talking about. One thing for sure you didn't used the tutorial that was recommended by few people.

Thats why you are asking yourself weird questions.
