Here's a feature that hasn't been used much, that should be used more. With the magical help of Luigi, here we go!
The Title Text
The title text is that artist and title display at the beginning of a map. Usually it's white. Why? Because no one bothers changing it. But there's some stuff you can do. Read on.
What You Can Change
What you can change is included, but not necessary limited to (each line is separate):
-Color of the text
-Size
-When it appears
-How long it stays on the screen
-Whether or not it's bolded
How to Have It Changed
To have it changed is simple. You can not do it yourself. Just ask a moderator, including BATs. They're the only ones able to change it. Simply tell them what you want, and if they approve, they'll change it.
Why to Use It
When used right, it can add to the map. A good color can do quite a bit. Sometimes the white title text can blend into the background, so you can make it not blend in by changing the color. You can make the text bigger or smaller if you want. Also, sometimes you want it to appear at a certain time and last for a certain amount of time. Why? Storyboarding, really. For most people, though, the color is the most important thing. You can even have the lines different colors if it fits your map.
Ending Note
I've used this a few times, personally. Look at Heatman and my Sonic maps. This topic was made so people are aware of it and will hopefully use it more. The End.
