Credits script

All intro credits are stored in IntroCredits body (line 17). Each map can have its own intro credits and total time for credits roll. This is example of intro credits script to make your credits properly working. The comments explain what each line does.

    "IntroCredits" //Into credits start here.
    {
        "map1" //The first map there we want to have credits.
	{
		"totaltime"		"90" //Total time (in seconds) we want to roll credits.
		"credits"
		{
			  "#Map1MyText1"              "#BLANK" //The first is the text that will be displayed, the second does nothing (even if you'll write here some already existing text).
			  "#Map1MyText2"              "#BLANK" //The second text that will be displayed.
			  "#Map1MyTextX"              "#BLANK" //The X text that will be displayed.
		}
	}

        "map2" //The second map there we want to have credits.
	{
		"totaltime"		"100" //Total time (in seconds) we want to roll credits.
		"credits"
		 {
			  "#Map2MyText1"              "#BLANK" //The first text that will be displayed.
			  "#Map2MyText2"              "#BLANK" //The second text that will be displayed.
			  "#Map2MyTextX"              "#BLANK" //The X text that will be displayed.
		 }
        "mapX" //The X map there we want to have credits.
	{
		"totaltime"		"X" //Total time (in seconds) we want to roll credits.
		"credits"
		 {
