Using levelexit to go back to titlescreen

Hello all. I was wondering whether or not you can exit a level and make it go back to the titlescreen. I did it using MAPINFO and making it so the next level was the TITLE, but it draws the inventory there, and I'd rather not have that there.

*Nudge*. So, no one has an idea?

Imposable, would make a good feature suggestion tho

I'm actually rather shocked that setting the next map as TITLE worked. If it works that much, shouldn't it take the inventory bar away since the game is essentially dead at this point?

Well, if the Title was actually a TITLEMAP, would that make it not crash? But still though, it works, but you can fire your weapons and see your ammo and health as well, which is a pain in the butt. I used the idea in my WAD. I suppose it does what I want it too at this point, but as I said I'd rather have it so just returns to the title normally.

Well, ZDoom does support have map lump names outside of the usual MAPxx and ExMx, so what's probably going on is that when TITLEMAP is set to next map, it actually loads it as the next map, instead of as a title map.

Ah ok, I didn't realize he was using a title map.

I assume you've already tried using EndGameX as the next map in the mapinfo? What happens when you use those?

Maybe a new one could be added (EndGameT?) that returns the user to the title screen (or title map if present) without doing anything else special.

When I use EndGame 1, 2, 3 or 4, it takes me to the credits screen. If I do endgameC, it takes me to the Doom2 cast call.
