[Overlap Back]Text[Overlap Front]Text[Tabs][2 Spaces]
Depending on how many letters there are in the "Text", the tabs may vary from 0-6. Always 2 spaces in unit names, always. The only occasion where there wouldn't be anything after the name is if it you added a REALLY long text input.

In scxe its like 12? I cant remeber off the top of my head. SF is unlimited. Anyways, all map titles must be custom stacked, you cant say switch out letters, and or colors once you stack it.

Put an invisible mark at the end, then a priod or a dash. That will stop it from under or over shooting.

Umm...it is still undershooting. I did the [invisible]. at the end too... The overlap is perfect too.

Oh sorry, I misunderstood you. What I posted was to make the actual overlap not under or over shoot.
You can put a tab after the back mark, so that it will be more centered, if that's what you mean. Then change the front mark tabs and spaces slightly. That's my guess anyways, I never quite figured out how people perfectly center overlapped text

ok... Do you mean like: [--------Overlapped Text--------]
Thats what i had before... i am trying to get [Overlapped Text------------]
But it is Overlap[ped Text--------------]
- is the same as space.

Why even bother? It's a dumb effect and is so hard to make it's more stressful then helpful.

Have you released a map that doesn't have any overlaps? Even if it is any good, people will start to complain "WHERE ARE DEM OVERLAPPS!?"

Oh yeah, I notice that all the time. I was wondering about that.
It also happened in Zone Control. "WHERE IS THE MASS ATTACKER! I'M TOO LAZY TO DO IT MYSELF!"
