Makeing a simple loading screen

[Simple loading screen]

1st off, You need the wc3 image Extractor II
Which can be found here www.wc3sear.ch/index.php?p=Tools&ID=6&sid=cf2cd1ba4b4a3be4fb67f29830b52f46
And you will need Irfan view which can be found here
www.wc3sear.ch/index.php?p=Tools&ID=19&sid=6051e0fa2c5afbb03df3e3e23a49ba4d
and we need this....
www.world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/loading/LoadingScreen.mdx

Now That we have Irfran view and wc3 Image Extractor,
We can begin. 1st off, We need to choose, or make a picture The size or above the size of 800x600 pixels, (and the reason why i Say Larger is because we can always resize it right?)

this is the image I chose

Now I have to go to Irfran view and open my image up there. Now Resize your image to 800x600 pixels
This is what size your image should be now


Yes I know I just made you resize your image to 800x600, but guess what? we are resizing it again.
Now make it 512x512. (we do this because in game, it stretches the screen to a nice, fine quality screen ;D
Save it in "tga" format. looks like this now


Now... FINALLY we can use warcraft 3 image converter II
open up your file once you have the image extractor running. just simpley save the image as blp and make the quality 75. Now open map editor and the Import manager, Now bring in loading screen.mdx and Your custom loading screen. Name your loading screen FullScreen.blp
and name you Loadingscreen.mdx file
Loadingscreen.mdx

And wah lah, you have a loading screen. If you have any question and details I left out that you need help with... Im willing to help you

Sorry lol, I made this... Didn't realize i wasn't logged in -.-" oh and btw Save As Bmp Format not the name bmp lol
Can I become a whelp now? lol

Btw, You must resize in Pixels

A question:
Don't I have to import 4 blp files (LeftTop, RightBottom....)?

I did this much complicated way, I had to make a pic, then divide it into 4 images, resize them to very specific size and convert them to blps.

very confused
