Historic introduction message?

[G_Sajer]

I'd love to be able to edit in a one or two sentence historic intro onto
the load page of a given map in some cases. Can anyone tell me what file
this stuff lives in, and what tool would be used to do this? If the SDK is the only avenue, then could someone tip me off on which part of the SDK I must focus on? I really don't wish to fiddle too much with the developer's
files unless there is no other way. And I may seek permission if that becomes neccessary.

I'd love the very same thing for the map I'm working on.
A historic introduction gives some extra immersion to maps I think.
So yes, how can we edit the loading text ?

I would appreciate this too. The current loading screen text is pretty useless.

I think it can be done by adding an .ini file to MyDocuments/MyGames/RedOrchestra2/ROGame/Config/

Seems like you can add a loading image too there (PreviewImageMarkup=).

I found this one (TE-Arad2_Tanks.ini) in my Config map for the Arad map:

It was opposed by Army Group South Ukraine's General Maximilian Fretter-Pico's Sixth Army (II formation) and allied Hungarian VII Army Corps units which were forced to retreat some 160 kilometers, while opposing Marshal Rodion Malinovsky's 2nd Ukrainian Front which had Debrecen, Hungary as its strategic objective. Both have 2 Objectives to take and 2 of their own to hold.

Hmmm. Very familiar with these files, but never thought about placing one
in that directory. Did you actually get the text to display?

Gotta see if I can get this to work in the server, though.
