I know there are quite a few threads on loadscreens, this is different, I think. I followed the tuts, added files here there and everywhere as directed and kept getting this in a console_mp.log =============================== END DVAR DUMP ===================================== dvar set logfile 2 dvar set monkeytoy 0 dvar set com_introPlayed 1 Loaded zone 'ui_mp' Loaded zone 'common_mp' Loaded zone 'localized_common_mp' Loading fastfile mp_piped_load dvar set g_gametype war dvar set g_gametype war ERROR: image 'images/loadscreen_mp_piped.iwi' is missing I added .iwi to any and all image folders. The one that got the loadscreen to show ingame was adding it to the players/images folder. Now I receive this: script compile error bad syntax ambientPlay(:ambient_crossfire"); (see console for details) can't see console So I looked in the .gsc main() { maps\mp\_load::main(); levelBriefing loadscreen_mp_piped ambientPlay("ambient_crossfire"); game["allies"] = "marines"; game["axis"] = "opfor"; game["attackers"] = "allies"; game["defenders"] = "axis"; game["allies_soldiertype"] = "desert"; game["axis_soldiertype"] = "desert"; } Looks just like any other .gsc I have in my custom maps, except the levelbriefing line... I remove that and the loadscreen works as advertised. This isn't anything like what I read as to loadscreens and how do I get this info to those who want to load my maps? They aren't going to add .iwi to their players/images folder are they? edited on Aug. 13, 2008 07:16 am by Ol_Sniper*

Your console canbe pulled down by holding the shift and ~ keys. As for your error, there is a ; missing after your loadscreen line in your .gsc file.

I added the missing ":" (no quotes), still doesn't work. Remove the levelBriefing line from gsc and it works, ONLY with .iwi in players/images folder. I have 2 copies of game, one for mapping, the other for playing. I can't get it to run on the gaming copy, locks the game up. I can run other maps I don't have loadscreen for though. edited on Aug. 13, 2008 08:59 am by Ol_Sniper

Probably because it can't find your .iwi file, if it is still giving that "ERROR: image 'images/loadscreen_mp_piped.iwi' is missing" error.

If it helps...I don't have the vision and fx .gsc files...do I need them? Never used them on other maps.

Well, finally got this working.... I put .iwd in images folder, put .csv in maps folder and deleted the levelbriefing line in gsc. Works in real game.
