Greetings wc3campaigns forumers! I'm new here and I'm currently developing a warcraft3 scenario. For now I'd like to clarify some doubts.

Straight to the point, I'm trying to convert bmp files to mdx to use them in a loading screen. I'd like to know if there's any specific programs for this or another solution.

Thank you!

You're using MSPaint bitmaps? That's a type of picture; a MDX is a model.

For the loading screens.....bah, now I can't find the tutorial. I'll post again when I can link to it.

Ok, here it is.

Thanks in advice. Anyway, isn't there a script to make models (mdx files) on photoshop or corel draw?

Mdx file is a model ! To modifiy a Mdx you must convert it in Mdl (Text file) with the Yobgul converter :)

But to change the loading screen, you need just to make 4 image in blp ...

If you want to in place of any .blp you can use a .tga, warcraft can use either file type, or for your custom icons and such you can use .tga instead of .blp
