since 3.0 we are able to add a custom layout to the loadscreen. i copied the ScreenLoading layout, renamed the frames but it only throws errors ingame. did anyone make it work already?
ArcanePariah mentioned that custom loading screen layouts must be contained in a separate dependency to function (otherwise the layout is loaded along with the rest of the game, and thus not accessible during the loading screen).
I'm really starting to think that the issue I have with custom LoadingScreen Tips is related to a need for a custom layout.
These multiple random loading screen tips DO WORK for normal melee screen, but as soon as you tick "custom" on the loading screen setup for an Arcade map the loading screen tips (even the blizzard defaults) dont work any more.
This can be demonstrated with 'blank' arcade map ... just create a new one and switch melee/custom and back again and it shows it working (or not).
So ... if my theory is correct ... then can anyone assist i creating a Custom Loading screen which CORRECTLY makes use of multiple varied LoadingScreen Tips? (default names are LoadingScreen/Help00, 01, 02, 03, 04, etc).
Thanks in advance to anybody that can point me in the right direction on this ...

Yeah I can't get the "choose" button to light up. I've no idea what it wants me to add to the map in order for me to choose something.
I've tried;
Custom UI layouts in the layout editor
Manual layouts (.txt files)
Changing anything and everything related to the loading screen
Edit: Seems setting it to "custom" allows you to choose a layout file. Still I'd rather have the melee style loading bars AND a custom layout.

I'll take a poke at this, you need to use racially referenced textures for that progress bar.
Sorry, I meant the loading bars that each individual player has. Like you can see here; http://i.imgur.com/OhFQh.jpg
Each player has a loading bar beneath their portrait. I don't think you can get that without using "melee" loading style, right?
Maybe, not sure. Depends on the template frame that is used and if we can create them.
how u done it???
