+ Code Snippet

void SplashScreen(string introtext)
{
	char* introText = dbStr(introtext);

	dbSetTextFont( "times new roman" );
	dbSetTextSize(50);
	dbText(dbScreenWidth()/2-dbTextWidth(introText)/2,dbScreenHeight()/2, introText );
	dbText(0,0,introtext);
	dbPrint ( "" );
	
	dbColorBackdrop( dbRGB(0,0,0) );

	//Camera Position and Variables	
	dbPositionCamera ( 0, 0, -5000 );
	float fCameraAngleX = 0.0f;
	float fCameraAngleY = 0.0f;
	dbSetCameraRange(0.001,30000);

	dbSuspendForKey();

	dbCLS();
}

Check your other one - I did it for you. dbStr only takes int or float, not std::string. Instead, replace dbStr with (char *)introtext.c_str();
