Introscreen for your sp_ map

Versions: You must be logged in to view history.

By Andewii

Adding introscreen to your map

This can be done through scripting only, so no need to open Radiant... first of all open maps\yourmapname.gsc and add the following to the code:

maps\_load::main(); // Always have this one
precacheshader("black"); // Precaches the black shader
precacheString(&"STRINGS_YOURMAPNAME_INTRO_1"); // The title of the Level
precacheString(&"STRINGS_YOURMAPNAME_INTRO_2"); // Where the level takes place
precacheString(&"STRINGS_YOURMAPNAME_INTRO_3"); // Month Day, Year
precacheString(&"STRINGS_YOURMAPNAME_INTRO_4"); // Optional info about the level
maps\_introscreen::introscreen_delay(&"STRINGS_YOURMAPNAME_INTRO_1", &"STRINGS_YOURMAPNAME_INTRO_2", &"STRINGS_YOURMAPNAME_INTRO_3", &"STRINGS_YOURMAPNAME_INTRO_4"); // Action!!

Now create a folder called localizedstrings, in main directory, and add a text file called strings.str, it should contain the following:

VERSION            "1"
CONFIG             "C:\trees\cod2\bin\StringEd_PC.cfg"
FILENOTES            "Strings used in toujane go in this file."

REFERENCE            YOURMAPNAME_INTRO_1
LANG_ENGLISH            "SP Test Map"
REFERENCE            YOURMAPNAME_INTRO_2
LANG_ENGLISH             "In my computer..."
REFERENCE             YOURMAPNAME_INTRO_3
LANG_ENGLISH             "21:18"
REFERENCE            YOURMAPNAME_INTRO_4
LANG_ENGLISH             "By Andewii"

ENDMARKER

The top of it is just a header and the ENDMARKER just shows the game that file has ended. However look closely at the other stuff, when you write REFERENCE <something>, then this is the way you can call it in the script. It's called up this way: <name of .str file>_<reference>. For example our reference YOURMAPNAME_INTRO_1 is precached in the script by calling precacheString(&"STRINGS_YOURMAPNAME_INTRO_1"); because our .str file is named strings.str.

Now save all files and go into your game, and voila! And oh yeah remember to replace all YOURMAPNAME with the name of your map :-) Have fun, and I hope you can use this info!
