6) Munge Load.
By default, Visual Munge does not copy the Load files over to the map's addon folder. We must do this.
7) Copy the load's munged common.lvl into the map's addon folder.
Umm... Where do we copy it from?
Yes, I know I'm a noob.

Where all your munged files are: data_XXX/_LVL_PC
_LVL_PC should have a Load folder with a common.lvl in it.

okay thanks.
EDIT
Hate to be annoying you more, but do you make a LOAD folder in your Addon Directory?

Are you watching the vidoes? Just do whatever they do.
The Example Map's Addon Folder:
Code: Select all
GameData\addon\LIE
addme.script
\data\_LVL_PC\
core.lvl
mission.lvl
\LIE\
LIE.lvl
\Load\
common.lvl
There is a massive thunderstorm where I am. The power keeps flickering on/off. My main computer can keep running for about 2 minutes after the power goes out, but adding the server to the backup power supply drains it faster than the computers can shutdown. I'll turn the server back on for you, but its supposed to rain through tomorrow. I just tested the links, they are working right now.

Make it 1024 by 1024, that worked well for me
Also, I mirrored Zerted's guide on my site (since his is down a lot and he doesn't mind if you host it elsewhere). Here's the link:

Why does everyone have to attempt to access my server in the 30 or so minutes I'm playing with router settings.
I added your mirror link to the first post.
Added a note about the load screen program that will (hopefully) replace the how-to video.

Just like any other targa file used for SWBF2, your loadscreen needs to be a power of two. I recommend making a large, black, 1024*1024 square, and then copy-and-pasting the screenshot you want in the center. That'll make it look like the stock loadscreens.
Just like changing any in-game text, you need to use the localize tool to edit loadscreen tips.

nice, but i have a question, how would you make it to display random images? like the standard maps do? would you just create more images and put them under the "texture" in your .req?
is this how u put more loadscreens in

To put in multiple loadscreens requires more LUA coding. Zerted has since forgotten how.

Not really, its more in the image naming and req files. You need to copy the structure of the game's files.
