I suggest using a '.jpg' for your loading screen. It's a smaller file size and it doen't have the tendancy to load upside down. Also I found that it is best to elliminate the following line in your shader:

Code: Select all

      blendFunc GL_SRC_ALPHA GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA

make it look like:

Code: Select all

tutorial
{
   nomipmaps
   nopicmip
   cull none
   force32bit
   surfaceparm nolightmap
   {
      clampMap textures/mohmenu/dmloading/tutorial.jpg
   }
}

My map is called "Tutorial", it is to be included with a colection of tutorials I am working on. And yes the '.jpg' should be 512*512

Hmmm... If your '.shader' and your '.jpg' have your map's name, hmmm..., and they are all in the proper folders, hmmm...

Maybe check that the shader is called correctly in the '.urc'

Code: Select all

resource
Label
{
   name "Default"
   rect 104 36 430 332
   fgcolor 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00
   bgcolor 1.00 1.00 1.00 0.00
   borderstyle "NONE"
   shader "tutorial"
}

and that the extension is correct in your shader file.

The console may give imformation if it can't find the picture.

Also check that the resource for your picture, in the in the '.urc', is in the proper order. Meaning, the engine processes the resources in the order that they are in the file. Spearhead uses a much cleaner way than AA. It uses just one background picture, then the map's photo, then the photo border, then the sepia overlay and then the text.

GOT YOUR ANSWER RIGHT HERE.........

OK, struggled with this forEVER myself, and just jerkin' around and fixed it!

Ok...in my file there was a line:

map $whitemap.....etc..

REPLACE that with this:

map textures/mohmenu/dmloading/yourmappicname.tga

You should have the file path in 2 (two) places....where it has 'map...' and after the 'clamp map...' text. Here's my script....

MP_TractorWorks_DM
{
nomipmaps
nopicmip
cull none
force32bit
surfaceparm nolightmap
{
map textures/mohmenu/dmloading/MP_TractorWorks_DM.tga
}
{
clampMap textures/mohmenu/dmloading/MP_TractorWorks_DM.tga
blendfunc gl_one_minus_src_alpha gl_src_alpha
}
}

Don't know why I thought to toy with that line, but hell, it worked!!!!!! I'm so thrilled! Of course, it's AFTER I sent a couple guys the Beta without it working! DOH!
