Making Intros and changing menu buttons - A.I. - 06-05-2012
I was wondering how I would make an intro with a black screen and text with pictures I have been wondering how to do it, I have seen it many times in TCs and I was also wondering how to make the text on the main menu change like Quit -> Run Away.

If you mean the intro when you start the game where it says frictional games and such. Then you need to create a full conversion this also applies to the text. Changing the base_english to your own text, that's how you make the Quit -> Run Away. There are a few tutorials on how to create full conversions. Just search the forum or do a google search!
The pictures before the main menu are specified in pre_menu.cfg

I already know how to make full conversions, and thanks for telling me how to make the buttons. I am talking about when you press new game it can go -<Name here Presents>- and then shows the name of the custom story. Like palistov's "Hunter"

Well, just import a picture and make material file for it. Put it on a plane (in the level editor) a start area infront of it. Then deactivate player control and fade in, then fade out and teleport to the beginning of the mod

That makes logical sense, but what about the text? I guess you would make the text also and then make a DDS file and place it in the level editor. Well thanks, that is not all that hard now I just need to open GIMP.

Well the text is gobos for lights and in palistovs Hunter he uses spotlights and then change the gobos to display a text. But he does it in a very advanced way
