Loadscreen and mini map help

[LuckyLuciano]

Hi I am LuckyLuciano from the OG clan.  I have put together a map but I can't get the loadscreen or the minimap to work.  I follow the tutorials but it still doesn't work.  Joker told me to post this here and see if anyone would be able to help me.  

Thanks
Lucky

did you place the minimap_corner script_origin in the maps corners they have to be there and compiled in the map for minimap to work and do you have your material,compass_map_mp_yourmapname compiled in your maps zone_source? as for the loadscreen they can be tricky follow this tut to the t and you loadscreen will work

I have that tut that you sent me, That is the one I used.  I was looking at the tutorial for the minimap and followed it.  There is just some confusion as to where to put all the files.

So your having problems with the mini map? not the load screen?

Tell me do you have the following where they belong?

"C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\raw\maps\mp\mp_yourmap.gsc"

in the mp_yourmap.gsc you have to have this line added to it.

Code: [Select]

maps\mp\_compass::setupMiniMap("compass_map_mp_yourmap");
also the following has to be added to your zone file.

Code: [Select]

material,compass_map_mp_yourmap
This is of course assuming you already made the mini map and just want it to show up.  After you have all this added make sure to put the .iwi file into the images folder so it would like like this "images/mp_yourmap.iwi"

Note: This is just for the mini map, if you need help for the load screen then ask.

Side note: mp_yourmap should be renamed to the name of your map example mp_cargo.

That makes it easier to understand the minimap, and I will try it to see if it works.  As for the loadscreen, I can't get it to work.  I have done everything the tutorial said to do, load the files onto the server and I still get the default checkerboard loadscreen.  I have even restarted the server everytime I put in the files.

What part of the load screen are you not understanding? Can you please explain what it is that your doing? I've myself have used this tutorial in the past with working results.

I open up the asset manager and set all the settings, just like in the tutorial.  I am using the tut from IW.  here is my screen after i put in the settings


Then I go and click PC CONVERT and this is the message I get


If I take the GDT file out of the texture assets it will allow me to conver to the gdt.

But then when I go and do the level thats where it gets screwed up.

here is the settings for the level that I put in.


and here is what happenes when I click PC convert



I must be doing something wrong, just don't know what

Thanks

Please send me your image for your load screen. I will make a video so you can learn how to do. Which of course i will post up.

[LuckyLuciano]

Here is the jpeg for the loadscreen.  I know it needs to be a TGA, but I didn't see your email to mail that file to you.  So I thought you could use this.

[PvtWhoOkid]

Alright I saw that the file you have is only 800x800 please make it 1024x1024 and follow the following video. This is what I do and it normally works, I assumed you already created the .csv for the loadscreen so you should be good.  If not then please download the following and rename it to your maps name then open it up with notepad or notepad ++ and change the name of my map into yours also... save it up and continue to the video!

Hope this all helps!

Edit if you need the video in better quality let me know and I'll email it to you

[LuckyLuciano]

The image is 1024x1024.  The black box is that size.  I could really see in the video everything was distorted.

[LuckyLuciano]

actually if you could just type the line I need to add to the FF file that would be great.  That is what I didn't do.  everything else is done

[LuckyLuciano]

I got it, I needed to type in materials,loadscreen_mp_og_parkinggarage in the update zone file, then make a material folder with the loadscreen file from the material folder.  Thanks for all the help.  Now it is off to tackle the minimap, I am sure I will have some questions.


THANKS
Lucky
