[Solved] MAPINFO Help - Text Intermissions

In a project I'm working on, I've hit a bit of a snag in the MAPINFO department.

I'm trying to create a few text intermission screens. It's kind of in a Doom 1 format, except it's a Doom 2 WAD (7-8 level episodes, 1 secret level per episode).

MAP04 is the first level that has a secret exit. The problem here is I can't get it to display the intermission screen that I want. It is the same one that occurs at the end of the episode. I want it to be different like in Doom 2.

Here's a full copy/paste of my MAPINFO lump. As a note, when I take the secret exit or when I finish the episode, it always gives me "Episode Placeholder 1" as my intermission screen.

And I obviously don't want a text intermission to occur after each secret level has been beaten; I only want them when you REACH a secret level or when you finish an episode.

exittext "As you open the high-security door before you,
you quickly discover that this definitely isn't
the power plant...

Upon further inspection, you notice that this is
indeed the high-security section of the city jail!
What kind of scum could be locked up in here?"

You are using exittext, not entertext. Therefore, the placeholder 1 is used because you are leaving cluster 5. You don't get the message you want because you aren't leaving cluster 9.

Thank you very much. Switching to entertext for the secret level fixed the issue.
