Problem is sizing you dont want to nearly double a maps size for a loading screen other wise grab a bunch of clannies and within the first duel take a screeny of all that mess.

Personally a screeny of WhirlPool Tornado and Duststorm would be pretty epic but sizing it for a screeny would be a problem.

yeah, the last loading screen was quite literally half of the map size. It only really affects downloading time. If the edit is gonna be out for awhile, and the bot is hosting it; it isnt too much of a problem. If the loading screen isnt "pretty good" at least though, then there really isnt a point in wasting the space. But if it is kick ass, then it is a good investment of an extra 5 seconds of everyone's lives.

While I think it would be interesting to have a new loading screen, if it takes up that much space, what's the point? People aren't going to download the game, show up in the loading screen and think, "I've seen this loading screen multiple times, this game must be terrible!" And leave as soon as they get into the round. Also, I don't really stick around for the loading screen personally... I go to the bathroom, or text, or do something else for the two+minutes I have to wait before I can actually get far enough into the game where I can pick my skills.

That's my opinion on a loading screen, but if its important to people, well, then I guess the

doesn't matter that much.

alright here is another starting background and i took the liberty of adding in my favorite...ILLIDAN!!! thoughts?

That looks kind of cool but no Ragnarock?

well thats just where i am so far, i cant find any other good pictures of a kil-jaeden (rag) except for other versions of the one i have and i dont really see any way to make that fit in... unless...

just some stuff idk i like the landscape one

did you find 1 and 3 or make them?? 2 is cool looking but its really busy and adding a character in without it being ridiculously obvious would be way beyond any skills i have, but if you can do it it would look badass.

the first one i have seen used in multiple maps... though i DO like it...

most specifically dota..... which means you will get MANY pleyrs bitching about how ur just stealing adias and whatnot, even though the map is completley different. i was really liking the way that the blademaster looked in shankz's attempt. if only he could find a faker looking background to make it blend

I think we are getting pretty close to something here...

Put the shiny knight guy, down front, with his foot on that little rock there. Then, put something in the middle.. I mean, everything is looking at the center of the circle, where nothing is. Why not have a shadow of a guy, and by that I mean, like a person, blacked out; and have "YOU" Written on it.

Or, make a generic stick figure like guy, wearing a CHA-FAN tee shirt!

^^MS Paint FTW!

confused as to where u r suggesting to move the knight guy.

yea the middle is empty right now, but I am thinking that bright spot on the stone will be a good place for text or maybe a bomb like they are playing PTB mode? If i dont put the text there I can put something in the water but that will be covered by the loading bar also so where else do u think text would be ok without ruining the look?

PUT THE OLD SPICE GUY WITH THE FLAG IN THE MIDDLE!!!

^^Most caps I have ever used at once, for anything.. EVER!

There is kinda a rock thingy sticking up in the bottom of the map. you can have his higher leg on that stone. Bottom center-leftish.

like 2 inches down from where he is now, or down and to the left?

Or you could throw a naked women some where in the picture to attract more ppl to cha . As soon as word gets around games will gt filled pretty quick








LOL!

down and like, an inch to the right.

k i can try that, the problem is that picture is very bright and moving it down will put the whole thing into shadows so ill have to tweak it some but we can see what happens.

moved hero, added in something to focus on... and text. are we there??

I think text needs to be a little bit darker, I like the bomberman though

that is too cute! Make it something awkward... like a giraffe! or... A midget!

OMG, a midget!

orrrrr..... a magicarp!

Timmy from south park where that black ball thing is.

Lol so i decided to go back and mess with my loading screen since my illidan failed T.T so here it is....



EDIT: After tweeking with it some i was able to fit rag in...



there gimme some feedback d-(^.^)z
