Howdy, I havent been on here in a long time, but been busy with other bnet stuff, and havent had a chance to get back into my mapping for a little while. I've searched through some and through the downloads, and didn't see what im looking for, but I'm pretty sure I've heard of a program for it. I suppose I should say what I'm talking about already, lol. Well I'm a pretty good map-maker, but I can never get timing down on text mesages in games, and mission briefings scrolling right and w/e, basically I'm looking for a program or maybe some simple tips like if its this long pause or wait this long or w/e , maybe a basic index, I've heard of a mission briefing program a few times, but I don't know where to look but here and a few other places, that well cant really compare to hear anyways.
So basically I just need help with In-game messages, getting them to display right, carrying color from line to line, and displaying for longer periods of time. Also maybe how to do some kewl effects, and mission briefings that scroll right, any help would be kewl. Also my clan is starting to get a few members that edit maps, me and a few others, and a good briefer for us, that was interested in helping us out of clan or in, would be nice, especially if there isnt a program, and i continue to have issues making them.
Ya i know wat ur talking aobut cool and effects and things well there are tutorials but they really didnt help me i had to test in maps and create my own stuff but under tutorials u should find a topic called text formatting and this should help out some and im good at this and id like to help ur clan out (ive helped out 9 clans so far) but im on west so taht might create a problem if ur on east.
U shouls alos try testing out the millisecons like i believe 1000 milliseconds= 1 second and so on
