Can anyone point me in the direction of a tut, tools, and whatnot please? Thank you!

I don't think you need tools besides Notepad and something to save images to PCX.

Look at how The Babylon Project or Inferno did it, I believe the relevant file is mainhall.tbl.

IIRC one of the key things is editing the mask file (a black and white pcx) - I believe the colour of the regions determine the function of them when clicked (i.e. 255,255,254 is barracks, 255,255,253 is campaign, etc - these aren;t the correct values, though).

Also ask the SW and WC TC blokes - I'd imagine they're using it.

Incorrect, it's the mainhall.tbl file. The mask file just determines where your mouse has to be for a button to function. In the table file, each 'section' has a series of coordinates which determine where a given button is. Each button is named "barracks", "techroom", etc. The names are hardcoded I presume.

And I know what I'm talkin about. I've made mainhalls for TVWP and HT.

I'm trying to make a Mainhall for The Swarm War, but I'm focusing on models and other stuff first before getting my hands dirty in the mainhall.tbl!

Ah... that explains why my mockup thingie never worked

Has anyone ever written up a mainhall editing guide, bytheway?

Not as far as I'm aware.

Such a document would be great though.

Or maybe he wanted to edit the Mentu...?
