I had a problem withmy map because the loadscreen made it 2mb since i had a lot of graphics. Some of you might kno this but i had to make it smaller somehow.

You can save your loadscreen images as blp like the original loadscreens that blizzard makes. I have no clue y blizzard decided to make the ones in monolith .tga, it makes it much larger. Maybe the wanted us to find out emote_sweat. I got my map from 1.88 mb to 1.04 turning it to blp!

Good... thx for the info..

1meg for loadin screen is still too much for me... I can fit 5 splash screens with that much space.

Maybe when my map get popular (fingers crossed), when ppl will be willing to d/l big maps, I might add a custom loadin screen.

actually I had a custom loading screen made.. but it was 2.6 meg compress :( so I took it out... Now that I know I can use blp, I'll most likely add it, after the 2nd version of my map..

can u imagine all the little 56k 10 year olds sitting patiently waiting for the map to dl. Big maps will only apeal to SOME cable users, because you still get 10 year old with cable, so a big map kinda makes it really hard to play it online
