Zoom out, change your Terrain settings to "rectangular," change the size of your cursor to like 8x8, and get to work?

Actually it looks like it's just plain terrain and the text is 'written' wit hvisible area. Erm... in the campaign editor there is a unit each team has, it looks like a tv reception dish on a tripod, the reveals terrain. I guess you could spell letters using that.

Exactly what alffla said.

Make sure you do it for all human players in the map. Conversely, you can write different messages in the fog of war for different players. Which reminds of this version of Lost Temple I played years ago that had different messages written in the fog of war depending on what starting spot you received. My favorite was "Rik is hawt."

No this all don't work for me... neither fog of war nor map revaler.
Does this work only for UMS maps?
If yes, how can I do it with meele?

My aim is, to make a hunters map with some weird texes in middle ([players name] = gay) and host it public haha-_-;;.
