Hi all, just giving EAW a facelift and downloaded -e's hanger screens, do I unzip them ALL to the EAW directory, or just some? If it's just some, does anybody have a listing of what file is what?

You can only have 1 (lets say mainscreen) in your EAW Folder at a time...Make sure it's named Main2 and that it's a .pic file (this should not be a problem but some rename them so you can tell which screen you have). It's best to load the screen with Stab or Skins-n-More with you terrain sets and themes. I use SnM and with that program you must pack your Mainscreen and picplane maps and other screen stuffs in 1 folder and register it...then include it in the Theme_Menu/Map section and every time you load that selection all your updated screens will install for you...you can also register them as single textures as well if you want and install them that way as well. As for Stab...I don't use this one as much now but...I believe you just include the screen files in the folder (common or terrain or skins) you have set for the .pic files...I think i used the "common" folder so to include them in all seasons. Well I hope this helps...

Thanks, I've got the mainscreens working, and worked out that ALL the HANGAR screens have to be unzipped to the EAW directory (they change automatically according to the plane selected), for anyone as dopey as me.
