Please post your .req, and what are the dimensions of you loadscreen texture? It should be a power of 2 (2x2, 4x4, 8x8, 16x16, 32x32, 64x64, 128x128, 256x256, 512x512, 1024x1024 (recommended for loadscreens), etc.)

Sorry, but what tutorial did you use?

To edit the dimensions of your .tga file, just open it in gimp, paint.NET or any other image opening program and change the dimensions to one of the above....

Targa type 10 not currently supported.
That means that you had RLE compression checked when you saved the file. Resave the file(using save as, not save) with RLE compression unchecked and see if that fixes it.

Follow the rest of the tutorial, especially the parts that tell you to reference your load screen .lvl in your lua, munge your lua, and move your load screen .lvl to the directory where it is being referenced in your lua.
