Problem with a custom loading screen

[Uncle Zed 272]

I followed the instructions here: http://sponsored.dayz.st/wiki/index.php?title=Custom_Load_Screen

I am running Lingor 1.3. I created a custom loading screen in .jpg format. I downloaded the default .pbo file from the control panel. I extracted it and added this line to the description.ext:

loadScreen = "serverloading.jpg";

I also noted that this line was present so I commented it out:

loadScreen = "\z\addons\dayz_code\gui\dayz_logo_ca.paa";

When I connect to my server, I am still getting the default lingor loading screen. When I get to the part where you download the mission file, it's definately downloading my serverloading.jpg because the mission file is over 700kb (My .jpg is 685kb by itself). When I get to the spawn part, I see a different place on the map than I am currently at, and the screen is just frozen, unable to see a player model or do anything.

If I revert to the default pbo, all is fine.

Is there something about Lingor 1.3 that prevents custom loading screens?

This is a bit of my fragment from description.ext

#include "gcam\gcam_component.hpp"

respawn = "BASE";

respawndelay = 5;

onLoadMission= "DayZ Taviana";

OnLoadIntro = "Welcome to Taviana";

OnLoadIntroTime = False;

OnLoadMissionTime = False;

disabledAI = true;

disableChannels[]={0,2,6};

enableItemsDropping = 0;

onPauseScript = "onpause.sqf";

loadScreen = "pictures\loadscreen.jpg";

class Header

{

I have a folder called ''pictures'' inside mission.pbo, place your loadingscreen in pictures.

i dont know if you have the same as me, but you should try.

These instructions work perfectly. I'm running Lingor 1.3 as well and works fine with that.

Turns out if I read further down in the wiki, for some reason the format for the line with the image name was changed: loadScreen = "pictures\loadscreen.jpg"; is the proper format now.
