Post by ihatecompviruses123 »

Hey,does anyone know if it could be possible to add Descriptions and small thumbnail images to your levels?(Like say I wanted my level to say,"Killing things.Good times."Is it even possible?

I agree. It's sort of annoying to constantly go through map after map and they all say,"Unknown level"

That would accomplish absolutely nothing. You can only modify predifined pictures and discriptions. And only if you have a hacked bitmaps.map.

I think hell might be talking about what they used to program the engine and shit.
Sig over height, width, and file size limits.

Tomclancy was right. The unknown map image and text is ONE bitmap. That means its shared by all your custom map tags. Yes you COULD edit it (actually I think there's a tutorial to, pc at least.) but that would change them ALL to the same one. So all your maps would say "killing things" or w/e you would change it to.

Wasn't there a map release a while back called "Coldsnap" that had the thumbnails and description?

EDIT: nevermind, my mistake. was hoping there was a way to add descriptions, i've been looking so far into guerilla i think i'm turning into a monkey.
