Customizing Your DotA 2 Loading Screen

So, are you bored with your loading screen? (of course!) I just read the steam community and got this tutorial. I will tell you how to change your old loading screen. The first thing you need is VTFEdit (download the installer).
Now you open it and you open an image(The image you desire for the loading screen) in the VTFEdit. After that you just save the file with these settings

Save the file with the name:
  • "background01_widescreen.vtf"(name the file with this when there is no event like The International, Diretide, and frostivus)
After that you open steam, and right click DotA 2 in the library. You open the properties and click "set launch option" and you type "-override_vpk"in the box. ("-console" is only optional) And click OK


K, now you just need to copy your file before (the image) to....
(your Steam folder)\SteamApps\common\dota 2 beta\dota\materials\console (If you don't have a "console" folder just create it)

 Here are some Dota 2 loading screens.

And you are done with your custom loading screen.... Sorry for my bad English... If you didn't understand just comment below. Hope this is useful! GL :)
NOTE;
  • The game resolution will affect the image quality. This will only affect on one PC (the one who you did this tutorial).
  • This won't work if you use a loading screen item
  • This won't work if dota 2 have an event that change normal loading screens *ex; The International 4
