okay, in your pk3, check that:
omaha.shader is in /scripts
loading_omaha.urc is in /ui
omaha_loading.tga is in /textures/mohmenu/dmloading

Check Pantera's post again:
Do u use a Targa image? With the shader u are using, a Jpeg won't work. Or delete those green lines (as stated) when using a jpg - which is smaller anyway.

yep did it all correctly. Only I my map dmloading is named objloading because it is an objective typed map. offcourse I set it all to match this objloading (in the scripts)

in omaha.shader (line 12) it's 'dmloading'

Well sometimes this can be the problem. When you saved the image you might have mistakenly not saved it as a 32 tga and instead just saved it as a 24 bit tga. And for some reason it says dmloading in your shader.

The General is right, this would cause a non working image. To be sure, why not convert your image to Jpeg, save it as omaha_loading.jpg where the tga is and change your omaha.shader to calling the image 'omaha_loading.tga' is fine, even when using a jpg!

This way u could exclude one potential error and it would look quite the same.

um, dont u use dm loading even when its an obj?

then divaid wrote:um, dont u use dm loading even when its an obj?

so, what is it, what u did???
anyway, I would always use 'dmloading'. But the only important thing is that u use the SAME folder name in the shader and in the pk3, else the shader will obviously not find the texture.
If u put omaha_loading.tga in textures/mohmenu/dmloading, u must use
clampMap textures/mohmenu/dmloading/omaha_loading.tga in the shader

d/l http://www.decalattack.com/moh/omaha.pk3, put ur map omaha.bsp in the folder maps/obj and try to start the map.

thanks, I will take a look

Yeha it is all about the paths. It doesnt need to be in mohmenu/demloading it could be in my_loadscreen/my_loadscreen.

i said dmloading, not him lol.
