We already went through the trouble of identifiying that file as the correct one. Why would I even refer to the one outside of that folder? The load screen .lvl file is the file in the Load folder.

Your image should: be a .tga file, be in the RGB format, have RLE compression off, have dimensions of 1024x1024, and be named loadscreen.

As for you first person model problem, change the line referencing it in your ODFs to this: And add the following to your REP.req file: You won't be needing commando.req anymore, so delete it.

i did what you said but it has not worked. so i tryed with an own req. So i will retry.

the Loadscreen.tga is now like you say, but it doesn't work. maybe i need to copie the tga in the loadscreen folder too?

That is unnecessary.

So we know your load screen .lvl file at least munges. I get a feeling you are putting it in the wrong directory. Can you state its full location on your hard drive? (i.e. C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront 2\GameData\addon\***\data\_LVL_PC\Load.)

C:\Users\*****\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\addon\RCM\data\_LVL_PC\LOAD

Mhh, the path is correct.
Open the load folder. What file size does your common.lvl have?

3,33 MB

Are you 100% sure that this is the case:

I can't think of anything else.

i made the file with Photoshop elements and elements did only support RGB.
After i read the RLE I thought uhm maybe i haven't care about this. controlled and No it was RLE off.

The name here is copied from the file: loadscreen.

==EDIT==

maybe someone can upload a tga that works. i'll try it with this file and we can see if there is the error

==EDIT==

Here you go i uploaded the file. maybe you can try to use it for your test map

http://www.gamefront.com/files/21850077/loadscreen.tga

==EDIT==

just tryed the tga from your bespin map and it doesn't work too

Maybe it's the best to start all over.
Do a clean, then, do a manual clean.
Delete your old loadscreen and do everything once again.

what do you think i'm doing all the time. i did this for every new Try

No need to get snappy. Locutus is simply trying to help you.

yes but that this doesn't work, as if i did everything right makes me crazzy

@Locutus: I'm sorry

==EDIT==

just got an idee. So the most of you make a cutom Loadscreen for your Map. But my one is for a mod. So this should be load instead of the stock BFII Mos Eisley/Coruscant.... Loadscreen. maybe i need to do somthing else, because the stock maps handle more than one loadscreen normaly. there is one choosen out of 3 or 4. Maybee i add my to the otheres, and somewhen it's choosen?

If not maybe someone who knows much about this can pm me and i will upload my map

==EDIT==

tryed to use the loadscreen on a new testmap. it workes. i get the loadscreen from Locutus. but after i changed the tgas to my one i stillg et the one from Locutus -.-


==EDIT==

Hi,

so i need your help again.

1. The 1st perspective still doesn't work.

2. How did the soundmunge work? i tryed to munge a sound file, changed the munge bat like in the tut, deletet all @ and tryed the fixed ones, but my files won't be munged. there is no sound.lvl.

3. I want to have a custon icon. Mav tolt me to make a tga file and load this in a shell.lvl and call this in my lua. Can someone explain me step for step or is there a tut? in the 1.3 patch is this part not very clear.

4. Where are the HUD icons load? i have a weapon and chaged the HUD icon to hud_shield. and i have a msh file in the rep/msh folder. but this icon isn't shown.

5. Where are the 1st person zoom files? and how can i make BFII to use my ones?

Woah. One question at a time.

With your unchanged loadscreen, did you make sure to copy over your new loadscreen.lvl when you remunged with your .tga file? If you did and it still doesn't work, try a manual clean and munge.

As far as HUD files go, take a look in Data_#$%/common/hud/PC. It should all be in your 1playerhud.hud. I don't think that's what you need though. THIS thread on floating icons might be of use.

How to make a custom shell mod. [Tutorial] (FAQ) ----> Since you're changing a different file you might need to look around a bit and find it, but it shouldn't be too hard to find the default icon in the assets and create your own .tga with the same name.

thanks for these links. the Loadscreen still doesn't work. as if i did manuel cleans and replace them all the time. i tryed it out with a new map and there it worked. but fpr my mod for the BFII stock Mos Eisley it don't

==EDIT==

what means this?

You need to add the Mos Eisley script in your addme.lua. Then you can manipulate the original scripts (which you need to copy into your scripts folder first). I have never tried changing the loadscreen of vanilla maps, though.
Post your luas pls.

So just checking - you placed the loadscreen.tga in the .req for a file named tat2.lvl?

jep because the stock loadscreen from SWBFII for Mos Eislay is also called tat2.lvl. So i thought maybe it works if i take this anme, but it doesn't

So do you have a tat2.lvl in your Load folder?
