And I don't mean the downloading screen, I mean when you are, for example, loading the ATCS map it shows a description of "Advanced Tactical Combat Simulator" and a picture of ATCS while loading the models, textures etc.

Also, how do I make a map a .pk3 if it was already a .srf, .prt, .map, .bsp, and a .bak? Does that need to be done in GtkRadiant or what?

P.S. Yes it's me, Rhez

Here my help for you, there is this wonderful link near the top of the site thats called 'Search' click it, type in what you want to know, volia. These are the most nub questions ever, if you look around you will find what you are searching for.

That's not helpful at all, I did try searching "loading screen", "importing pictures and descriptions in the loading screen", "how to pk3 a map", "pk3", and "load screen" but they all just come back to this page or have no result at all. And I'm not asking for just this kind of help to use the search tool, I am asking if any of the experienced players have done this to teach me how to do it. If you aren't like that then there's no point telling me to use the search tool.

Pleeeeeaaaaaasssseeeee read teh guides that have been made to help you without spamming this forum.
Here, I'll even give you the link:http://tremmapping.pbwiki.com/Starting+Tremulous+Mapping

EDIT: if you really searched "loading screen"(from this subforum only) and didn't notice the 2nd result (1st is this topic), then please learn to read/get some glasses. :(

1) The loading message is done by selecting a worldspawn brush, pressing 'N,' and in 'Key,' type 'message' and in the 'Value,' type what you want to appear.
2) Leveshots go in your map.pk3-->levelshots folder.
3) Make a .pk3 by first inspecting the ATCS .pk3 thoroughly with your favorite archive manager.
4) Please read the mapping wiki long and hard!  :)
