-====== Creating a new theater based on SRTM data ======
-Warning: It may not be possible to create good data for certain theaters.
-Compatible:\\
-- SP4, OF, FF3, possibly others
-===== Step 1 =====
-  - Follow the [[http://tactical.nekromantix.com/f4/docs/theater_tutorial.php|Ultimate Theater Tutorial]] on PMC until you get to Part 2.
-  - Now you should have the following information: dem2terrain theater center coordinates (lat/lon) and theater size (64 or 128)
-===== Step 2 =====
-  - Create a new email to blueprint4[at]gmx.de
-  - Set subject to "Theater SRTM Create [Theater name]".
-  - Put the theater center coordinates and the theater size in the text.
-  - Send the email.
-  - Wait for my reply.
-===== Step 3 =====
-  - You will receive a download link for a compressed file which contains a new 2-byte L2/O2 file and your personalized BaZT - SRTM Theater installer which needs a couple of extra steps to get working.
-  - Now continue in the theater tutorial with Step 2 but use the L2/O2 files from me.
-  - ...Create your theater...
-  - All theater objectives must have been placed at their final positions.
-  - Use Pathmaker to create new .thr and .mea files
-  - When your theater is almost done, you have to prepare some more data for the SRTM installer to work.
-===== Step 4 =====
-  - Copy falcon4.ocd from your theater's objects folder to BaZT - SRTM Theater\objectives\
-  - Copy falcon4.fed from your theater's objects folder to BaZT - SRTM Theater\objectives\
-  - Open TacEdit.
-  - Load the TE/campaign file that holds all of your theater's objectives.
-  - Select Objectives > Export Objectives and save the file as "objectives.csv"
-  - Copy your exported objectives.csv to BaZT - SRTM Theater\objectives\
-  - Run "BaZT - SRTM Theater Objectives.exe" and press "Parse .csv" button. This can take a long time to complete.
-  - Now your SRTM installer is ready.
-===== Step 5 =====
-  - You can run BaZT - SRTM Theater.exe from your theater installer using special command line parameters (quotation marks are required and the path must end without a '\':\\
-Parameter 1: "The users's F4 dir", example: "c:\microprose\falcon4"\\
-Parameter 2: "Your theater dir", where the terrain and texture folders are, example: "c:\microprose\falcon4\spain"\\
-Parameter 3 (optional): -sptinstall\\
-This will create all terrain Lx/Ox files from an L2/O2 file before starting the SRTM update. Then you only have to include the L2/O2 in your installer which saves a lot of space.
