Hey

I've searched some and havn't found the answers i needed.

Is it possible to animate the titlepic in the menu? I mean to add animated picture to the menu instead of titlepic. And in that case how?

Thanks

i've searched on zdoom wiki about TITLEMAP. But still dont get it. Is there any tutorial wad file with an example of TITLEMAP's features or any guide that explains more?

Thanks for the help.

TITLEMAP is just the same as a normal map. It's what (G)Zdoom does with it that is different. It plays the map automatically instead of the titlepic, the player has no control over the events in the map and you don't see the hud/status bar. So you need to set up scripted events in the titlemap to make it interesting. In your case, you could achieve what you want by having a very simple map with a script that uses HUDMessage to print a series of pictures to the screen.

okey soo titlemap basicly starts the first map instantly and makes it runns and u can put up the meny and the map still runs. Then it's up to the.ACS scripts in the map.. i got it right?

Thanks

Exactly, just use some scripting and hudmessages to make a decent TITLEMAP animation :)
