Title: How do I put in the description and picture of a map in the loading screen?
Post by: Rhez2 on August 19, 2008, 04:27:44 am

And I don't mean the downloading screen, I mean when you are, for example, loading the ATCS map it shows a description of "Advanced Tactical Combat Simulator" and a picture of ATCS while loading the models, textures etc.

Also, how do I make a map a .pk3 if it was already a .srf, .prt, .map, .bsp, and a .bak? Does that need to be done in GtkRadiant or what?

P.S. Yes it's me, Rhez

That's not helpful at all, I did try searching "loading screen", "importing pictures and descriptions in the loading screen", "how to pk3 a map", "pk3", and "load screen" but they all just come back to this page or have no result at all. And I'm not asking for just this kind of help to use the search tool, I am asking if any of the experienced players have done this to teach me how to do it. If you aren't like that then there's no point telling me to use the search tool.

1) The loading message is done by selecting a worldspawn brush, pressing 'N,' and in 'Key,' type 'message' and in the 'Value,' type what you want to appear.
2) Leveshots go in your map.pk3-->levelshots folder.
3) Make a .pk3 by first inspecting the ATCS .pk3 thoroughly with your favorite archive manager.
4) Please read the mapping wiki long and hard!  :)
