Loading screen:
1. Make the image at 1365x1024, then resize to 1024x1024. The image will be squashed--that's ok.
2. Save/convert the image to a vtf using vtex, vtfedit, or the photoshop plugin. Use the default settings for a compressed texture, except check "no mipmap" and "no LOD".
3. Create a vmt file. Should look like this:

Code:

"UnlitGeneric"
{
	"%keywords" "FF"
	"$basetexture" "vgui/loadingscreens/default"
}

Replace "default" with the name of your map.
4. Both files should go into FortressForever\materials\vgui\loadingscreens\. They should have the same filename as your map.

Game start camera:
Place a info_intermission to define the position of the start camera. You'll have to place a info_target at which to point the camera.

For a map fly-through, use path_mapguide.

what font is used on these screens? I'd like my text to look as uniform as possible.

The Fortress Forever fonts can be found in the /resource/ folder in your FF directory.
