Couple of quick questions : )

Hey, totally loving your map editor, it's really re-igniting my passion for DK!

I might be blind but I didn't find an option, is it possible to add an in-game start description/script (so people playing the map will see a description on the little green question mark tab). I'd like to add a bit of story lore behind the maps I'm creating if possible.

Also, is there an option to limit how much an enemy keeper taunts you? (all the phrases like "my dungeon is the finest you shall ever see" and "your efforts are futile!" etc). For some reason, the taunts are coming across way too frequently (like every 5/10 seconds, constantly) and I only have one enemy keeper on the map. 

Thanks! Khaylo

Hello.

You'd achieve that in Map Settings -> Edit Script. In Unearth if you click 'Help' there's a link to the scripting commands for KeeperFX: https://github.com/dkfans/keeperfx/wiki/New-and-Modified-Level-Script-Commands
Keep in mind LEVEL_VERSION(1) must be at the top of the script if you're using the KeeperFX scripting commands.

The copy-paste solution is here - copy these lines to the bottom of your script:
QUICK_INFORMATION(2, "Second message.", ALL_PLAYERS)
QUICK_INFORMATION(1, "Welcome to my map.", ALL_PLAYERS)

I don't have much experience with DK scripting myself, so asking me anything is the same amount of effort as figuring it out yourself. Check out the DK discord: https://discord.com/invite/zKTjfDh
There's a bunch of people there who love to answer scripting questions and solve bugs with the game. I don't know what's up with the taunting, if you don't want to use discord you can create an issue on the keeperfx github: https://github.com/dkfans/keeperfx/issues
It might even be considered a bug with the game, in which case it should be reported.

That makes sense, no worries, I'll join the server : )

I did find the script-commands link prior to my posting, but I still couldn't figure it out, I'm a total novice in that territory xD ...however, the copy-paste worked like a charm, thanks for the help!
