Hmm... great tutorial, but when I tested my map, I just got a black screen. What am I doing wrong?

It might be one of these things"
-the image u imported MUST BE A BLP
-The images size
-the paths, make sure the images path is FullScreen.blp and make the file that you downloaded is LoadingScreen.mdx

problem with loading maybe?

I have been having problems using the WC3 Image Extractor II. I have no problems making the image 512x512 and .tda, but converting to .blp using the extractor OR the Blp&TgaConverter does not work for me. Is there a better program for the conversion?

p.s. thanks Daveman for the Map Preview tutorial. it was perfect.

Hate to be a downer, but my picture came out like crap. It is hell of blurry and I tried it at both 75 and 100% to see if that was the problem, but isn't. The picture I used was the Illidan one from Blizzard.com, which everyone has seen. At this rate I'd much rather do it the hard way than this way seeing how having a normal loading screen is better than a blurry customized one.

EDIT: Another thought came to mind when I was searching for a Ladder game on B.net. The little eye that looks around was also looking like crap. So checking everything over again, I believe the picture's quality is because I set my video options all at their lowest, my apologies. This methood is indeed quick, easy, and great for the lazy (me!!).
