Custom Loading Screen Access Violation Memory Error

Yea, Im really starting to hate custom loading screens no matter how much I try it NEVER seems to work. Heres what I did via photoshop. 1) I opened LoadingScreenTL and noticed it was 512x512 2) Then I opened LoadingScreenTR and noticed it was 512x512 3) Then I opened LoadingScreenBL and noticed it was 512x256 By this time I could conclude the Custom Loading Screen had to be 1024x768 So I said okay, and opened up my image and put it on a 1024x768 and then cut out the top at 512x512 and saved it as a tga file called LoadingScreenTL and I continued to do this for each corner, of course with the bottom ones being 512x256.

After this I imported them into my map and with the mdx file that also needs to be in their, I customized their directories. WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING WRONG? I just got an access violation memory error when I tried to test my map.

It might not be the custom graphics. I've had my maps wig out and do that with just a normal loading screen.. Took me a while to figure out why it was crashing.. But just like in RoC pre1.1, loading screens seem to cause problems that make no sense.

Does your custom screen have an alpha channel ?
