Where are the Menu Screens stored?

[tselepides 9]

I want to make some new Menu Screens but cannot find where the game stores the originals.

 

Any ideas?

down in the core files, in the MenuData.cat

 

when you make and install new ones, you'll have to Create a "/Menu folder within your mods folder

 

However....

if one does a 'generic' loading screen to replace the original, THAT goes in the /Flight folder (don't know why, it has since 2003 in SFP1 !!)

For a specific aircraft's loading screen, that goes into that particular aircraft's folder, and the main ini (example, F-4E.ini) gets edited.

Kevin.

 

Thanks. I assume I will have to use the cat extractor tool.

[Wrench 9,421]

yes.

remember, you'll need the extractor for whatever patch level you're at.

Thanks again. 

 

I have made a pilot record screen using your templates and my painting of a real RAF pilot.

I  put it in a folder I made here:

 

C:\Users\TANIA\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe\Menu

and it showed.

 

Try it and let me know if it is good enough to upload.

I can also change it--I am open t suggestions. I can move the images around, resize them, delete them and add other ones perhaps, etc--all the Photoshop changes\tools can be used.

 

Thanks for your templates.
