Loading screen image all black, white, and out of position - goalreadymc - 09-01-2014

Hi,
I am developing a here a custom story and there seems to be a problem with my loading screen image. It is black and white, and out of position.
Is there any Weyer's Tonic (solution) for this?

I think as i hear it is because of the POW 2 size
Always try to make pictures ,jpg etc.. a pow 2 size.
Pow 2 size are for example:
2x2 4x4 8x8 16x16 64x64 1024x1024 OR
4x32 16x64 512x1048.
Do you understand?
Try it out.

Loading screens do not need to be a power-of-two size, they only need be appropriately scaled relative to the space on-screen. The originals are something like 700x400, for example. What format are you using?

The original ones use .jpg formatting, so I suggest you use that too. PNG and GIF are very easily messed up.

I always use 480x309 and it works for me.
