Chapter names in save slots? Created 16 years ago2008-09-13 11:42:25 UTC by Notewell

Hi. Im JeffMOD. I have been wondering this for a while, so here goes. In HL1 SP, you get saved games called Blast Pit, Xen, Forget about Freeman, etc. when I save games on custom maps, i get the name, eg. USSc0a0, NSc0a1, Choppermap, or whatever the map is called. How do you get HL to give a scripted name for your custom map saves (or code it into a MOD)Map names get old really fast. PLEASE HELP ME!

I'm not entirely sure. However its not something thats bothered me as its not essential to a MOD's gameplay / mechanics.

Personnally I only ever use quicksave and quickload anyway.

Have you tried changing the Map Description / Title in Map > Map properties?

I just tried that. It does nothing.

Thanks for the input. I have tried the Map title in hammer. It just seems odd, is all. If I play the original HL maps in my MODs, I get the new chapter title on the old maps, but I can't set it to work with MY maps. If you guys figure it out, please lemme know.

Try changing the Chapter Title Message, also under Map > Map properties.

EDIT

wut?

The chapter title message either doesnt change anything or changes what is shown at map start. Ill play around with it though. thks. U guys are

&%@#! I'm currently using spirit, and I have no coding experience or compiling software... Oh well. as Urbaneula said, it's not REQUIRED, just cool. thanks for looking into it and trying to help.
