Hey guys.. i was wondering how i would go
about changing the loadup screen for my new map...Instead of the screen
saying counter-strike 1.6 (dont ask me why it doesn't say source...) I would
like it to say my map name.. and then give a short description of my
map.. is that possible? if so can u tell me how?

ive tried going into map properties.. but it doesnt change anything...unless im doing it wrong?

As always...thanks in advance

Place a file called "mapname.txt"
in the same folder as the map, and its contents get used as the
description on loading the map. This only works for CS:S, I believe.

This works for all things CS, and any other MOD that has map discriptions. Its always a good idea to include a mapname.txt with any map you make with your e-mail and general info.

thanks for the heads up... do people normally zip the txt document into the bsp? or keep it seperate?

If you limit the text to map informatin, then you should probably just
put it inthe bsp. I fyou include other information, essentially
substituting a readme.txt file, then put that outside it.

I think, it's just easeier if the nav, txt, (and anything else) are in the bsp. It's just cleaner.

A bsp file, and a mymapname_readme.txt file is a nice distribution package.
