text screens in between maps

I'm no expert but I have worked on this myself.

It's important to know what Sourceport you are mapping for and what editor you are using.

I used GZDoom and Slade. I created a Mapinfo, copy and pasted all the classic maps/paths of the original Doom 2 wad and made changes from there. There should be a part where you can add where a cinematic text screen will appear (I believe at the very bottom).

Everything works fine, except my text is to long for a single line and gets cut off by the screen. And when I try putting the remaining text on additional lines it doesn't work.

There's different ways to do the text lines depending on if you do them in DeHackEd, MAPINFO, or LANGUAGE. I am assuming you are using MAPINFO, so this is the syntax for multi-lined text screens:

cluster 1
{
	flat = "SOMETHING"
	music = "SOME MUSIC"
	exittext =
		"THIS IS ABOUT AS LONG AS A LINE CAN BE",
		"THERE NEEDS TO BE A COMMA",
		"",
		"THAT IS HOW YOU SKIP A LINE",
		"BUT NO COMMA AT THE END"
}

Thank you so much! Works fine now!
