Well ^^ Open the Monolith scenario from blizzard and open the import manager
Export :
-Loadingscreen.mdx
-LoadingScreenTL.tga
-LoadingscreenTR.tga
-LoadingscreenBL.tga
-LoadingscreenBR.tga

Then Open the Tga files and see that they are 4 parts of the loading screen, basically all that you have to do is "paste" over them your screen (you must crop it in 4 parts) and remember to keep the resolution unchaged:
TL 512x512
TR 512x512
BL 512x256
BR 512x256

Then import your new custom screens in your map and in the scenario screen select to load your screen !
P.S. Don't change the name of the files and "loadingscreen.mdx" must be imported in the "war3mapimported" directory and the other 4 in no directory

Bye

EDIT: didn't noticed there was a tutorial to do this ! it is well written look !

Are you sure you can edit the loading screen with w3m map utilities in RoC? It doesn't work!
