very interesting question... i don't know the answer for sure but i think you first need to make a shp (like a cameo but bigger), and then i don't know rest of it... i think it has to do with artmd.ini again. Fenring... i think you know this

Download XCC Mixer from http://xccu.sf.net and then browse through ra2.mix or ra2md.mix, especially the local.mix you can find inside there. You'll find the loading screens in there; put a SHP (TS) file with the same names, palettes and resolutions as you find in there in the game folder and you'll get your loading screen.

Loading screens are supremely fun to make.

 

You need the proper resolution, which is 800. Doesn't change, 640 is no longer supported.

 

Now, get your palettes for the country you plan to make a new screen for. Each has their own.

 

Let's take Yuri for example. His screen name is ls800yuri.shp. When you copy that as a pcx, make sure you're set on the proper palette. Don't remember what it is but if the image looks clean and it looks as if you're ingame, you've got the right one.

 

Make your image and copy it as SHP(TS) using Yuri's MP screen palette.

 

Now play the game, your new screen should appear.
