Copy a screenshot into the levelshots/ directory and rename it to the same name as the bsp file for your map.

The text is whatever the value of "message" is for worldspawn. Select any normal brush and add the key along with what you want it to say.

No, not exactly.

Open the entity box (N) on any brush that is not an entity (bear with me, I know it doesn't make sense) and add these keys and values in the box:

key:message

value: All your text goes here, spaces are allowed.

Select any random brush, press "n", and add "message" as a key. The Value is what you want it to say. We cannot get any less technical than that.

make sure you do something like this when testing the map:
/sv_pure 0;devmap my_map_name
