In case you didn't notice, most of it is underground, there's a hole in the screenshot, not sure if it's very visible, it's pretty odvious in game)

To make triggers that make text appear on screen do this:
Make an invisible trigger with a unique number (not bound to doors etc) that is set to trigger once.
Go into your config file (mapname.cfg) with something like notepad
Put this in:

level_trigger_15 = [
sleep #_in_milliseconds [
echo "Message"
]
]

That makes it wait #_in_milliseconds and then prints Message.
("Message" should be in quotes)

that's a partial lie, echos just need to be enclosed, and if you look at some of sauer's sp maps, they don't follow their own rules (there are several instances of echo you found ($secretcount) secrets)

what I'm basically trying to say is, that echo (format "%1 of beer on the wall, %1 bottles of beer, take one down, pass it around %2 bottles of beer on the wall" 99 98) will still out put a message, that specific example will print

99 of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer, take one down, pass it around 98 bottles of beer on the wall.

also much messier triggers like eg alias level_trigger_1 [echo "noob"; sleep 2000 [kill; echo (format "you died %1 times so far" $deathcount)]] will also work fine

Who looks at their console all the time?

level_trigger_123 = [
showgui message
]

newgui message [
guitext "Your Message Here."
guitext " "
guibutton "CLOSE" "cleargui"
]


It should (at least does for me) print in the upper left corner.

PS: Does anyone know of a download link for the CVS program, I can't find one anywhere but everyone seems to use it. D:

Sourceforge provides instructions here.
If you're on Windows, Sourceforge recommends TortoiseCVS.

To compile, you'll need a compiler... I recommend MinGW with Code::Blocks.
