Think i found a way to make a custom loading screen picture

That sounds really cool but cant anyone post some proof?!!?..

If it is possible i will try to make my own but right now im not so sure.. And you guys keep telling that it is possible..

about the mpqdraft.. why dont they put it out for download?..

hey ill try that, i like the custom loading screen. (sweet) but ill try it and ill post back here if i get it.

I never heard of MPQDraft, and I don't see it on CC's site. Post some proof you guys, I don't believe all of this.:////

i think camelotsystems had a program liek this for starcraft didnt they?

i remember using it for editing things for starcraft

... I don't really understand the capabilities of this thing and what it does, does it create a seperate file? Can you pack all sorts of files into it? Is it initialized when the map is loaded? Where is it stored? The "vibe" I'm getting from this thing seems too good to be true.

basicly you can put all custom files you need for your map into this exe, and when the user wants to play your mod, they run the exe instead of wc3.exe and it loads your custom files, i didnt realized it worked for wc3 (then again i never though about it...)

So if they wanted to play normal war3 again, what would they do? Just load the regular *.exe and it would repatch everything?

yes, they would need to close wc3 and reopen it using the normal exe

So would this be similar to the Half Life mods? Each has it's own executable? If so, would you be able to modify the layout of war3, like the title screen and the main menu? That would work very nicely with a mod.

EDIT: Can someone attach it or give a link? If someone already has it, it would save the trouble of others having to look for it.

Aha, that's the 3rd-party program I was talking about on the first page. I knew it was somewhere :P. And yes FyreDaug, it works exactly as you explained.

~kharma

yeah a link would be great

FyreDaug,

Did ya get it to work cause if you did could you be kind and help me?

editing the main menu would be difficult because it is animated...but if u have got the loadin sceen to work maybe a short tut and what programs u used would be cool..

I got MPQDraft 1.01, but it doesn't support warcraft 3. Does anyone have the war3 version? (IF it does exist)

EDIT: You can however put in the location of Warcraft 3.exe, but when you do that, all computers the mod is played on must be in the same folder. I'm guessing your war 3 isn't located in E:\Warcraft III so this won't work.
