    [Guide] How To Make Custom Loading Screens (WoW)

    With this guide i will show you how to make a custom loading screen, you will see its pretty easy to do. First u will need some tools and those tools are:
    My Warcraft Studio – This is the main tool wit this tool you will create the .MPQ archive/file and edit/open already existing .MPQ archives.

    BLPConverter – This tool converts the .png file to .blp file.


    And preferably u will need some image editing program. Personally im using PS 4.
    You can download MWS and BLPConverter from:
    RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting

    OK when u have downloaded that we can start working.
    First start MWS and go to FileOpen MPQ Archive
    From there go to your WoW Data folder and open enGB or enUS
    Once you are there open locale-enUS.MPQ (in my case).
    Go to Interface > GLUES > LoadingScreens

    Now find the screen you want to change and right click on it.
    Select Copy Treepath and then open some text editor like Notepad or Word
    and paste the Treepath there, you will need it later.
    Now edit your picture (the 1 that you want to use).

    When you are done with the editing you will have to resize it
    to either 512x512 or 1024x1024 it depends what screen you are
    replacing. You can see what size you need when u click on the screen
    in MWS.

    ITS IMPORTAN THAT THE IMAGE THAT YOU ARE EDITING IS THE SAME SIZE
    LIKE THE ORIGINAL SCREEN IF ITS NOT YOU WILL GET A GREEN SCREEN
    AND YOUR WoW WILL CRASH WHEN IT TRYS TO LOAD THAT SCREEN.

    Save the image you made as a .png image.
    Now drag that image to BLPConverter and let him do his job.
    When the image file is converted to .BLP file we can go on with
    our work. Go to MWS and select Pack and then Create MPQ Archive.
    Now go to Pack again and select Add file to archive

    When you find your file don’t press OK on the box yet. Remember that Treepath
    that we pasted in the notepad well copy it again and paste it in the area
    where it sais Input the pathname of the file to be.
    Now go to Pack and select Save and close archive.
    A FEW WARNINGS:
    1.
    When you save the .MPQ file remember to name it patch-L.MPQ (EXAMPEL) small p in patch BIG letter after – (It can be just 1 letter) and BIG MPQ after .
    2.
    And remember to save the .MPQ file inside the Data folder, not the enGB or the enUS folder when u want to use your .MPQ file

    I hope my guide helps you. You can also download it in Word format with the images from:
    RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting

    Im sorry for the big images.



    Its a long way to heaven.

    First of i made this guide by myself i didnt copy that 1 in your link. They are similar of course because they are about the same topic and i did my own pictures because i did my own guide. And by the way i am speaking in english if you are referring to some shortcuts as bec and similar to that i think a lot of ppl know what they mean.

    Edit:
    In the end Serverman, LS12 (the guy from the forum of your url) cant take the credit for this guide writen here because its my guide i typed it in M Word and no1 else he can take credit for his own guide on that forum but for this guide im the only person that can take credit for it because i wrote it and i made those pictures so when you have better arguments of me copying that guide PM me because i didnt copy anything i made it myself. I dont want you to think of this as a threat of you or as me disrespecting you i just want to get this cleared out.

    But if someone replies in another language, just tell them to speak English. After all this is an English forum.
