[MAPINFO] End game to title screen

Post by AgentSpork »

What I'm trying to do is have it so that, after beating an episode, it ends the game and goes to the title screen (which is a titlemap). I at first tried to use EndGame in MAPINFO, but without an end message it just displays "Empty Message" and goes to the credits[/i] screen. Having it go to the TITLEMAP as the next map is also not a very good idea, as the HUD is visible. :P

Doesn't the credits screen eventually return to the title screen after a while?

Not as far as I can tell, unless I need to wait more than 2 minutes for it to happen. :P

Make the cluster print an empty message ("", not nothing), give the cluster a 'pic interpic' instead of a flat and end the game with 'Next endpic titlepic' and it should do what you want.

I don't see how that'd help at all. My wad has neither an interpic nor a titlepic, as I am using both a custom intermission and a titlemap. If the ability to end the game back to the title screen isn't doable, then I guess I'll just have it warp to the next episode after the epilogue.

Oh, I misread titlemap for titlepic. Sorry.

I've got the same problem, any chances to get this working?

Funnily enough, I was thinking about this problem just a few days ago. It'd be fantastic if the problem with the TITLEMAP was fixed. :)

Added. I have no idea why I didn't do this earlier, considering how simple it was. :?
