in GoldSource chapter names Post #318376
He's talking about having the chapter names in the save games list Ciba. Not showing the title in-game.
Exactly, I want to change chapter names at "savegame level". I already know how to show any text anytime ingame via env_message and game_text.

Anyway, as I said I've given up as now (after lastest steampipe patches) it seems to be somehow hardcoded. However, I really appreciate your help guys :biggrin:

in GoldSource chapter names Post #318357
After trying a few more things I think I'm gonna let this one go. It seems that after Steampipe's update everything is hardcoded. This means that if I have a map named "c0a0" I can override its name by modifying "valve_english.txt" (under "resources" folder), but if I call the map "c10a0" (which doesn't exist in HL but follows the same naming pattern) then I can't.

I can even use OP4 and BS map names and everything works. As soon as I use anything that doesn't previously exist in "standard" Goldsource games (HL,OP4 and BS) it stops working. :

Well, it was worth trying.

Thanks a lot for your help :biggrin:

in GoldSource chapter names Post #318353
Hi everyone! After a billion years using this web as source for tutorials and useful info about modding HL and goldsource I've encountered a problem that I can't solve and decided to register for the first time. :zonked:

I'm working on a little mod and I was wondering how to get those pesky chapter names to work. I already know how to show a text string when the map loads via titles.txt and modifing map properties. When I say "chapter name" I'm refering to the fact that any save game will have the chapter name instead of the .bsp name shown.

Besides, after Valve moving all Goldsource content to the new steampipe system, there are tons of new files under "resources" folder which seem to be involved. I've searched on Google for hours, I've tried everything I've come across (titles.txt,map properties in hammer,etc) but nothing works.

So, does anyone know how to create a chapter system (for saved games and such) for GoldSource?

Thanks a lot for your time, I hope you can help me with this one :biggrin:
