thats the most pointless thread ive......ever seen. By the way - in original WC3 its not possible, but in TFT there might be an exception.

LOL that one wasn't much better. I used to be able to do it with Starcraft Brood, that's why I thought maybe they added a way of doing it with TFT. I noticed that the loading screen TXT in my mod was cut off, I was hopeing to be able to scroll it to show the last two lines.

Just delete some spaces after periods and commas and you will fit it.

or you could make a custom loading screen and add your text that way, you could fill the whole bloody screen with text if you did that (not to newbs, do not do this, people will quite reading before they start)

Why not just show whatever you were gonna put right when the game starts?

As a reply to your question i don't think you can make scrolling text on your preview screen this question would be better posted on the bnet forums since blizzard reps auctually answer those

LOL you know that's a good idea, it's funny how I would think to ask the question here before I would as it there! I will try that.

This is also a good idea, I haven't done it before but I don't see why I couldn't do it. I'll also give this a try.

Orgrim, thanks for the input, but I want to try and keep it easy to read and I think that would look a bit rushed.

mikedogdude, normally I would put it right in the begining of the game, but in this particular map I was slightly modifying something the original author did (fixing it up a bit) and putting that info in the beginning of the game would actually hamper game play, but thank you anyway I appreciate your input.
