because Nemesis is a bit paranoid and knows to much HTML/JavaScript...

Just mark what you want to copy and press CTRL+C.

I just emailed you back the updated .pk3, which now has everything working.

Here are the errors that I noticed right away-

1. In your .shader file, you misspelled the title of your map. You can't misspell anything, especially key words that are being used reference all the files in your .pk3. Make sure that after you create your .shader and .urc files that you go back and look to make sure that everything is spelled correctly.

2. You accidentally saved your .urc file as a .txt file (It was named loading_desertheat.urc.txt). Make sure that when you save it, you change it from 'text document' to 'all files' and type in the extension.

3. Your picture wasn't a valid .tga file. I couldn't open it with Paint Shop Pro, or anything else. I just took a new screenshot and used that for your title picture just to make sure everything was working.

If you're still having trouble, a good idea is to look inside the .pk3's of other maps and study the .shader/.urc files in those to get an idea of how other people made their screens. (That was how I basically learned how to do it myself).

Good Luck!

what do you use to take the screen shot and put it the the laoding screen paint shop or what else

Just press F12 in the game to take a screenshot. The picture will be located in your main folder(or mainta/maintt if you use Spearhead or Breakthrough) in the screenshots folder.

The screenshots you take with F12 are automatically saved as .tga's, but if I need to do a conversion, I use Paint Shop Pro (I have the newest version).
