More Intro Screens

i was wondering if its possible to add more screens for an intro, possibly even animated, maybe like the one in psx doom???

That's possible in jDoom (Doomsday). You can have a fully animated intro either at start up, in-game, or at the start/end of any map.

No video though but I doubt anyone would want that anyway.

How exactly is that done? Do u just use animated lumps, like sprites or testures? And is it not possible for zdoom?

Basically it works on an object oriented scripting system. You define your objects (in a ded file) and then you control them using the various commands. You can move/scale/rotate/animate images with alpha blending. There's loads of cool features like an interactive mode and an overlay mode so they can be run without stoping gameplay.

THE coolest feature has got to be that you can play demos midway through a level, so you can record a demo then use it as a cutscene.

It's a Doomsday only feature.

alright, cool thanx. Im new to this stuff, i dunno how to write ded yet, but ill try looking into it

You can do intros for ZDoom, but only after you start the game. (put in a ton of scripting at the start of the first map)
