Well to start it off i need a question answerd; In COD2's files does anyone know what .gsc file has the Mission opening message scrip in?

iw_03/ maps/ introscreen.gsc

looks pretty much the same as cod

{
precacheString(&"INTROSCREEN_ELDABA_TITLE");
precacheString(&"INTROSCREEN_ELDABA_PLACE");
precacheString(&"INTROSCREEN_ELDABA_DATE");
precacheString(&"INTROSCREEN_ELDABA_INFO");
introscreen_delay(&"INTROSCREEN_ELDABA_TITLE",
&"INTROSCREEN_ELDABA_PLACE", &"INTROSCREEN_ELDABA_DATE", &"INTROSCREEN_ELDABA_INFO", undefined, 3.5, 4);
}

and here are the str files

main/ localized_english_iw03/ introscreen.str

REFERENCE ELDABA_TITLE
LANG_ENGLISH ""The End of the Beginning""

REFERENCE ELDABA_PLACE
LANG_ENGLISH "El Daba, Egypt"

REFERENCE ELDABA_DATE
LANG_ENGLISH "November 6, 1942"

REFERENCE ELDABA_INFO
LANG_ENGLISH "Near the Mediterranean coast"

thats where they are in the demo

Ok thanks, i thought introscreen.gsc was the file that starts the game and shows the IW badge.

my first cod2 sp-map is finisht, but now i need to close it down at the end. so, i need to make a trigger that when activated by the player will close the map down, back to Menu, (no levelchange trigger).

i don't have an objective in my map, so my .gsc file looks like this;

main()
{
maps\_load::main();

}

i never have scripted before, could someone please tell me how my script should look in total, when that stuff is added for closing the map. and what kind of targetname should i give the trigger?

hope someone can help me?

Has anyone used the BCS system successfully? I tried it from the tutorial and still no luck. Not because the tut's bad, but because I don't know how to work it! Can anyone put up a BCS supporting map? So I can take it apart and see how it works? It wouldn't have to be complex at all, maybe just a terrain patch, a few AI, and thats it.

But seriously, has anyone gotten the battle chatter system to work?

SPY, I havn't seen PD around for a while and he doesn't seem to be on MSN. I guess he is busy with University.

You best chance of getting some info would be to make a new thread and just ask there. You are more likely to get an answer that way.

i think you're right Supersword, strange because phantomdentist did open this special SP thread but now he doesn't react anymore. still, we don't know what is going on with him. so the best thing for us to do is that we leave this sp thread for what it is and go on with asking our questions again in 'normal' threads.

still, would like to know also here that my cod2 sp-map is finisht and can be downloaded from here;
