Thanks for the reply, I finally got it to work. 

I had to pack everything into a .pk3 file first, (it won't show up if you don't) AND then I also had to delete the map data from original "maps" folder so the game only reads from the .pk3 files.

What you need to do to show mission briefings while a mission is being loaded is to modify briefings.str, so to add a new REFERENCE and related LANG_ENGLISH (or any other language), like this:

// Note to translators:
// If a sentence is the same in your language then please change it to "#same"
//
// eg:
// LANG_ENGLISH  "HALT"
// LANG_GERMAN   "#same"
//
// (This is so we can tell which strings have been signed-off as ok to be the same words for QA
//  and because we do not store duplicate strings, which will then get exported again next time
//  as being untranslated.)
//
VERSION             "1"
CONFIG              "W:\bin\stringed.cfg"
FILENOTES           ""

REFERENCE           <MAP NAME>
LANG_ENGLISH        "<Mission Briefing>"

REFERENCE           ...
LANG_ENGLISH        ...


ENDMARKER

Then you'll have to put the modified briefings.str in a new strings/English folder, and pack everything up in a new .pk3.

I want to add my own mission briefing to a single player map, so I followed the above steps but it didn't work.

I opened assets0.pk3 and extracted briefings.str.
I added my map name (map1) to "REFERENCE", added the new briefing description to "LANG_ENGLISH" and saved the briefings.str file.
I put the saved briefings.str file in a new "strings/English" folder located in Star Wars Jedi Knight>Jedi Academy>GameData>base.
I started the map, but the new briefing didn't appear.
I tried saving the map with the associated files as a .pk3 file too, but the briefing still did not show.

Have I missed something?
