Campaign creation advice/tips needed
Posted: Sat Feb 13, 2010 9:17 pm
Been working on my first ever campaign and had no idea how time consuming these things were. I thought I'd start a help/advice topic to tap into the elite campers that are on this board.
Question:
I have 3 separate blocks of text I'd like to display, but would like to "clear" the screen before displaying each. Currently, the way it is setup now, the new text shoves the previous text to the top half of screen and truncates whatever doesn't fit and is a bit clunky in the mechanics/flow. How's the best way to accomplish what I want (3 messages w/o old messages displayed)? Or is there a better method I should use all together? Here's a pic of old remnants seen still above.
here's my trigs:
Question:
.wavs imported into my map seem really muted? I had to crank up the DB's in audacity to get a decent effect. Is this normal?
