Hi, i was wondering on how i can go through making a loading screen look like this:

EX.

Normandy, Fance
Omaha Beach, Dog-Green Sec.
June 6th, 1944
0630 hours

Any idea on how to do this ??? im stumped and i found no tutorials on it.

And also, how can i make a slide show Briefing loading screen with me being the narrator, to go with my loading screen above^^ ??

If anyone has any info on this, please repost back to me.
Thanks for your time.

The nemesis' tutorial is for multiplayer loadscreens.

Some of the briefing files are in "Pak5\maps\briefing", but it is a very hard, and takes many other files to make it work.

Hello.

While were on the topic I have another loading screen problem and rather then start a new thread I thought I'd post in here.

My loading screen works (as in I dont get the stock one) but I get the black one with the White on the outside, however my scoreboard picture which is the same shader DOES work, but it's upside down. I know that sounds pretty weird but its true.

Here is my scripting.
menu "dm/coolbeta" 640 481 NONE 0
bgcolor 0 0 0 1
borderstyle NONE
bgfill 0 0 0 1
fullscreen 1
//vidmode 3
//fadein 0.5
