Not the preview JPG. But the one they see right before they start the match. Is there a q3map2 command for it or something thanks.

You can download the Quake Toolkit and use it's built-in .arena creation tool or manually make a file with a text editor. The file should have the same name as your .bsp file except with a .arena extension. Here's an example file: { map "ermap4" bots "Hossman Keel Stripe Visor" longname "House of Dissent" fraglimit "20" type "ffa team tourney" }

Simply select any non-entity brush and hit the N key to open up the entity inspector. You should now have the properties of the "worldspawn" entity. Add a key/value pair with "message" as key and the name of your map (or whatever text you want displayed) as value.
