Custom Mission Briefing
Difficulty: Intermediate
Category: TF2 > Other/MiscAuthor(s): Valve, Fearlezz

The mission briefing, shown to players before they enter the match, is set automatically for Basic Capture the Flag and Control Point games, just by putting the right goal entities on the map.

Custom mission briefings can be done, but how?

There is not yet an official way to do this, but you can edit the localized texts in the directory where you map is in.

In the directory where your .bsp is (_mapname_.bsp - Usually "..\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\_Username_\Team Fortress 2\tf\maps\"), create the localised map .txt briefing files. You can also extract them from the TF2 .gcf with GCFScape and rename the for your map. So the maps directory should look like this:

  • mapname.bsp

  • mapname_danish.txt

  • mapname_dutch.txt

  • mapname_english.txt

  • mapname_finnish.txt

  • mapname_french.txt

  • mapname_german.txt

  • mapname_italian.txt

  • mapname_japanese.txt

  • mapname_korian.txt

  • mapname_norwegian.txt

  • mapname_polish.txt

  • mapname_portuguese.txt

  • mapname_russian.txt

  • mapname_schinese.txt

  • mapname_swedish.txt

  • mapname_tchinese.txt


For cp_dustbowl, replace mapname with cp_dustbowl.

In each of those, is the briefing text displayed for your map, in the named languag

No, it doesn't, you're not the author of this tutorial. All you did was format it, that's nothing.

You did not create this tutorial, you simply did some minor HTML formatting, that's not enough to consider it yours.

Remove yourself from the Authors field, and the tutorial from Studio release.
