Posse,
Well, actually it is an image I made in photoshop from a few differant screen shots and made the output file size 1024x1024, if your telling me that this wont work, then I will have to remake the loadscreen the way your discribing, I just dont understand why it would not work....1024x1024 is 1024x1024 right? I dont get why Radient and its compiler is so tempermental and difficult to work with, Dont get me wrong I really apreciate your help, but it gets frustrating when you spend a bunch of time making something the way there own Wiki tells you to do it, only to find out that it wont work! If this is the actual program that IW uses to create these maps, I feel sorry for the poor saps that have to use it on a dailey basis!

Now I have attempted to do the minimap as well and all I get is the same result as I did with the loadscreen...

upon loading COD4 and opening the map through the compile tools or not...

"Couldn't load image" and crashes COD4...

I give up... I have being working on these two things for 18 and a half hours straight....

I am now out of answers and am now more lost then I was when I started...

Thanks..

What do you use to take your screenie and not edit it? is there a command in your console to put you into a non-hud first person spectate or something? I took mine in spectate, had to edit it you where it said "hit 'f' to respawn" and of course mine like the others is all messed up also.

ya im working on this myself i followed the easy way to make loadscreen and no-go not only that when i did something in the main i lost the game and the mapper spent 8 hours trying to backtrack had to reload new cod4 and mod tools must be a betterway then messing with iw_oo and bg_front2. this killed my game totally

I ended up having to resave the map as another name and readded the gsc files and redid the csv files to be able to get past the couldnt load image error..

and now I retrying the loadscreen and minimap installation.

hope it works this time.

Thanks.

I used a freeware program called EasyCapture to capture the screen, it's a nice little proggy and works awsome, and best of all free! As for the in game part, I just set my Global Intermission to a place and Angle that I wanted my screenshot, then loaded into my map and hit Esc on the Chose team screen.

Does anyone else have any suggestions to fix my original problem with the rip in the texture? If I have to redo that brush as Soultaker mentioned, I can, but its not gonna be easy....theres a lot of cuts and angles in it, so if I can aviod this I would like too! The loadscreen problem really is the least of my worries and it seems that is the direction this thread went.
Thanks again,
