Want to Extract Loading Screens from MPQ [Mac]

    How do I get the full loading screens, without the loader? (In case that's relevant, I use Mac.)

    I guess he means loading without the bar filling up? Or saving the actual loading screen pictures on the PC somewhere?

    Without the bar loading up, yes. That's not the only reason I couldn't just print screen, though: there's also far too many.

    So what your saying is you eventually load, but the bar doesn't show the progress?

    Or is it that you never load?

    Regardless, I think this thread will be moving to Tech Support after I get your answer.

    Doh, sorry for being vague!

    I want to find the files of the pictures of the loading screens themselves, without the loader, so that I can use them as wallpapers. I might get them either somewhere on the Internet (?) or somewhere in the Starcraft 2 files. I use Mac, so any software used to open those would have to be compatible with it. If I just print screen the loading screen, I still have to crop, and there's also far too many to print screen them all.

    I don't know if there are MPQ viewers for the Mac, Windows has several options.

    Extracted the MPQ. I suppose the loading screens are in one of the .gfx files. How do I open these with Mac? Can't find any application on Google.

    I renamed the thread to be more descriptive. Hopefully others will read it and have advice for you.
