Creating loading image (.TGA) for custom maps | Forums

I'm having trouble creating my .tga files for custom maps. I take my map's screenshot that I want to appear in the loading screen, but how do implement it into the .TGA file? Any help will be much appreciated, thanx

You have to take one of the other out of the maps folder and rename it to your map's name exactly. Then edit the image in a photo program like photoshop or psp. Add a section of your screen shot in, save it and pop it in the maps folder with ya map. bam, it should load

For a basic loading screen you could just save your screenshot as a 24 bit uncompressed tga file and name it yourmap.tga.

If you want all the border detail of the origional loading screens either do a search for loading screen templates on this forum or goto the platoon.com and browse there mod section for the template file.


hope this helps
