Hello,
I made a map but I want people to see the name of the map and my name on there right before they start the game. 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'll need to make a .arena file. It's a textfile with some meta info about your map.
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"
}

Just to be sure: the mapname that's displayed while loading the map should be set in GtkRadiant. 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.
