I've been working on a Multiplayer Map for Doom II and I'm nearly done with it ^^ My only question is how do I edit the Text to my own? Because when you start my Multiplayer Level it says "EntryWay", I want it to be the name of my Map instead. I do have all these editors, but I don't know what to do -.-

Are you creating a WAD for a specific port or do you want it to be compatible with the original exe?

For vanilla doom:
Export the appropriate graphics from the doom2.wad, edit them, and insert them anywhere into your wad with a program like XWE. Note: you can't change the name found in the automap.

Boom or ports that have bex support:
Use the same method above to change the text in the intermission screen, but in addition, you can use a dehacked patch with boom extensions (.bex) to change the names in the automap. Go to Enjay's site for help on the boom extensions: http://www.btinternet.com/~Enjay001/deh01.htm

For ZDoom or any port that supports mapinfo:
Visit the ZDoom wiki off http://www.zdoom.org and look for MAPINFO under special lumps. Create a MAPINFO and then insert it into your wad with XWE. This will also change the name found in the automap.
