OK -
in yourmapname.gsc main section put in this:
main()
{
maps\_introscreen_gmii::main
precacheshader("black");
thread intro_screen();
level waittill ("finished intro screen");
}
intro_screen()
{
precacheString(&"YOURMAPNAME_LOCATION");
precacheString(&"YOURMAPNAME_COUNTRY");
precacheString(&"YOURMAPNAME_DATE");
precacheString(&"YOURMAPNAME_TIME");
maps\_introscreen_gmii::introscreen(&"YOURMAPNAME_LOCATION", &"YOURMAPNAME_COUNTRY", &"YOURMAPNAME_DATE", &"YOURMAPNAME_TIME");
}
Replace YOURMAPNAME with the name of your map.
If youve noticed - the red colored line has a different introscreen script.
This is a custom script, actually a revised version of the introscreen script in the pak4.pk3
Here it is:
Quote:
main()
{
//EXAMPLE
//introscreen("Place, Country", "Date", "24hourclocktime");
//EXAMPLE
// Use this an EXAMPLE!

Put that into a new notepad file and call it _introscreen_gmii.gsc.
Put that file into the same folder as yourmapname.gsc
ALSO -
make a new notepad file and put this in it:
REFERENCE LOCATION
LANG_ENGLISH "Outside the Reichstag"
REFERENCE PLACE
LANG_ENGLISH "Berlin, Gemany"
REFERENCE DATE
LANG_ENGLISH "January 18, 1942"
REFERENCE TIME
LANG_ENGLISH "400hrs"
ENDMARKER
call that file YOURMAPNAME.str (this is a precachedstrings file - for more in fo on these kinds of files check this out)
Make a new folder. Call it localizedstrings
in that folder make another folder called english, and in that folder (the english folder)
NOW - make your map a .pk3 file (to test - it is much easier to test in pk3 form)
And that's it!
Now you will have an introscreen with four lines!
To make 5 (or more)-
In this section of _introscreen_gmii.gsc
