//Please note that the GREEN named files are for Allied Force, you don't need them in OF/RV but they cause no harm and since they are so small files you can include them there and make universal select.rsc for all Falcon versions.//

====== Theater Selector Logo ======

The theater selector logo image is <theatername>.TGA - 300x375 resolution 16bit colors. Its usually called the same name as the theater, like for example:

Theaters\Balkans\balkans.tga\\
Theaters\Libya\libya.tga\\
Theaters\Vietnam\vietnam.tga\\
And so on...

====== Main UI Background Screen Tutorial ======

//following tutorial is "bit" obsolete in RV/OF/AF times...//

by Widowmaker

Requirements:
<code>
Perl
tga2res.pl
procidx.pl
irc2res.pl
</code>

UI's are all 800x600 256 colors TGA 8 bit uncompressed and flipped (turned up side down) be sure to name the tga files the same as here:

Main screen - **mainbg.tga**\\
Dogfight screen - **dgftbg.tga**\\
Tactical Engagement screen - **tacengbg.tga**\\
Campaign screen - **campbg.tga**\\

use the following lines to produce the idx/rsc files

./tga2res.pl mainbg.tga MAIN_SCRN\\
./tga2res.pl dgftbg.tga DGFT_SCREEN\\
./tga2res.pl tacengbg.tga TAC_SCREEN\\
./tga2res.pl campbg.tga CB_MAIN_TGA\\

Perl script has now created the following files:

mainbg.idx\\
mainbg.rsc

dgftbg.idx\\
dgftbg.rsc

tacengbg.idx\\
tacengbg.rsc

campbg.idx\\
campbg.rsc

Copy the newly produced files into art/resource folder. You're done!

====== Credits Tutorial ======

How to build your theaters own Credits file which is shown at exit from sim. 

Grab a copy of default Korean credits.idx and credits.rsc files from art\resource directory. Use the Perl

<code>
./procidx.pl credits.idx
</code>

And you'll get ENGLISH_CREDITS.txt file, now edit there your own credit information and then use cred2res.pl to create new credits files, like this: 

<code>
./cred2res.pl credits.idx ENGLISH_CREDITS.txt
</code>

Perl script just produced you a credits.idx and credits.rsc files which you need to place to terrdata\Theater.name\files directory so TSwitch.exe can swap them when you change theaters. That's it.
