How to add a custom loading screen to your noggit map




First, we gotta create one!

0. Download the Loading Screen Starter Kit above
1. Unzip and open the LoadingScreenTemplate.png
2. Open it up and change it a little


3. Save it and convert it to a .blp file by draging it onto the BLP2PNG.exe
4. Open the Patch-S with the MPQEditor
5. Put the .blp file into the Interface/Glues/LoadingScreens/
6. Go to DBFilesClient/
7. Open up the Map.dbc with the DBC program and go to the map you want to add a loading screen to
8. Change the row 58 as in the picture below to 255

9. Save it
10. Open up the LoadingScreens.dbc
11. Click on Edit at the top and then Insert Line...
12. The first row dosen't matter but enter the direction to your .blp file you made



If you want to change an already existence one


1. Open Map.dbc and look for a map you want to edit and check the number at row 58.
2. Open LoadingScreens.dbc and edit the .blp file on the line that it says in Map.dbc ^

It should look something like this in the end
