    Default Campaign selection screen pictures.

    As most of you know, only the roman houses, egypt, germans, diadochi factions, greece, carthage, celtic factions, and parthia have a campaign selection picture where you can see where they are on the map + description.

    I want to know how i can bind a .tga file to a faction's selection screen, and how to edit existing ones.

    Also useful, how to write descriptions for them and bind it to them.

    (This is RTW - Gold Edition)

    If this question is answered, please provide me a link for the answer, any kind of help is much appreciated.

    Go to Data/worlds/map/campaign/imperial Campaign
    Add here a .tga file called map_YOURFACTION.tga

    The description: Data/text/expanded_bi.txt.
    You have to search it a bit though, as it is a large file.

    The above is only partially correct. The descriptions you see on the faction selection screen for a campaign are defined in data/text/campaign_descriptions.txt.

    Thank you! I'll come back to this some time later if this has been implemented with success.

    EDIT: i have successfully made campaign pictures for all factions, a bit rough, but they are much more worth than the twisted map of europe that the non-playable factions get.
