Edit by vjeux: Here is the good way to add a custom loading screen:
Quote from Skizot:
1. click the import button (looks like a new file with a down arrow on it (third from last icon at the top)
2. right click in the white area on the left
3. import files
4. find your .TGA or .DDS
5. click okay
6. FILE > SAVE (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT)
7. close the import tool.
8. map > map loading screen...
9. set the "type" radio button to custom.
10. click the browse button and find your image.
11. set the "image scaling" drop down to whatever you prefer.
12. DONE.
If you want to override the default loading screen, read the following.
Hi,
In this tutorial, I will explain you, How to set a Custom LoadingScreen.
First, you must have MPQ Editor (Last version : http://www.zezula.net/en/mpq/download.html)
Then, have an Picture Editor (yes yes, I speak english very good :P ... well hmmm.) like photoshop (I use it !).
Open with Photoshop (Or your own software of picture edit), Save as > LoadScreen.tga (The extension is very important)
And put it on the desk.
Now, we will integrate the File in the MPQ, for this, Go to your Intall Directory > C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft II bĂȘta\Mods\Liberty.SC2Mod (For my part) and open with MPQ Editor : base.SC2Assets
Press Ctrl+A and select your loadscreen.tga, save & close.
Launch Sc2 Editor > Map > Screen loading of the map (I have the french version, don't know how it's spell in English :s) > Browse and FINNALY select your picture !
Only problem : Only Work on your computer :D So ... Enjoy \o/
If someone can correct all my fault (I am sorry for my (very) weak english ') i will give him a kiss :3
You guys arnt seeing what he's doing, his method will change the default loading screen to your custom 1, so like if you don't like the default 1 and you want something crazy and cool then there you go, change the default 1.
First of all I have been on maps that I can see the loading screen and someone said that you need to put it in the content downloading thing but is there a way to do it
A way of getting around downloading another program or anything like is to do the follow.
In the import files window where you should import your file, right click your file
In the menu click on "move files"
A windows pops up
It will say "moving 'file name' to: "
Two choices are given, just leave the first one selected, "Existing Path: (Root)
Click OK
Go to the map info
Load Screen
Choose Custom
Click Browse next to 'image:'
The image you want added should be the last choice available when you select browse.

lol? is here a way to make it work in multiplayer?
which formats is supported?
@CEMEHbl4: Go
If you want to make it work in multi, u must send your own base.SC2Assets modifier to your friend, no other way for the moment :s
Format supported : .tga & .dds :)
Not too sure what the point of a personal loading screen is but, nice nonetheless.
@Morbent92: Go
tga = 2-8 mb jpg = 75-300 kb
Is this mean map size will be like 2mb + 8mb ? And why blizzard cant make a simple support for jpg - for loading screen only?
Thx.
okay this is where i have to jump in and say WHAT THE FLYING FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
you add loading screens in the MAP very VERY easily.
I totally agree with you Skizot, that's much simplier!
