Text to Map - Dixiecapt - 10.07.2008

My appologies if I missed this in the Tutorial Section, I did scan over it.

However one of my first question (And I am stumbling around in the dark as far as map making, however) is,

How do you add Text to the Map. I noted in the FMB in the Objects section there is a Text, and Label choice you could make, but they didn't seem to do anything at all?

any help would be great?

(In fact, one of these days an official AAA map making walkthrough would be divine!!)

every map has text.txt file .... contains coordinates for labels along with font format info

line in each map load.ini determines which text.txt file will be loaded

So the Text and Label Functions in the unlocked FMB have no Purpose?

yes they have .... i'm just guessing here but i believe you can edit texts via unlockedFMB also ( didn't try it yet ...)
