I tried editing the loading screen and the in game map but I conclude that they are controlled by client side.
hope anyone has idea.

Everything that requires changes to graphics is clientside. And the load screen as well a the ingamemap are just image files. Sorry, no luck there.

how about the texts inside the "objectives" box?
inside menu/init.con, some codes are seemed to be related. i wonder if they are referring to another text file, which i dont know its position.
Code: Select all
rem ** Multiplayer Briefing **
game.setMultiplayerBriefingObjectives MULTIPLAYER_BRIEFING_WAKE
game.setMultiplayerBriefingMapType MULTIPLAYER_MAP_TYPE_ASSAULT_MAP

Those are located somewhere in the "lexiconAll.dat" file in your mod's primary folder. You can convert the ".dat" to ".txt". Use the "Ctrl+F" keys to Find a string of text, and search the words from the code you posted. That's where you'll find the briefing text.
As for the box itself and its background, those are images. You can find them in the "Menu.rfa" file. I have not tried to put them mapside, but I guess it won't hurt to try (but might cause curse words if it doesn't work).

Alternatively, you can modifiy the texts by just replacing them directly in the menu/init.con:
Code: Select all
rem ** Multiplayer Briefing **
game.setMultiplayerBriefingObjectives "This is my awesome Wake"
game.setMultiplayerBriefingMapType "This is a never heard of commando mapmode."
Just use the "" to enclose your text.

I prefer the way Senshi said because it's a lot simpler/easier. The LexIconAll file is a pain in the rear to edit.

After some rough tests, I concluded that both the codes of Multiplayer Briefing and lexiconAll.dat are also controlled by client side. orz (but thanks for the info about lexiconAll.dat, and
here are some additional info to relieve the pain
.)
Still hoping for new ideas of adding map specified information.

I would like to find a way of editing map briefings as well.
How can I edit the COMMENTS block?

I posted that above. One line is for the upper segment, the second one is for the lower one.
