How to switch interfaces between campaigns in a single mod
I'm making a BP fan campaign, split into multiple single-mission sub-campaigns, like in The Blade Itself. In some of these missions, you'll fly for the FS2-era GTVA, and use FS2 retail interface art In the other missions, you'll fly for the UEF, and use the UEF interface art from WiH. I want each mini-campaign to use the interface art for the appropriate faction (briefing screens, command briefings, HUDs, etc.; I can already do the appropriate mainhalls and loading screens.), while still putting them all in the same mod folder. How do I switch interface art between campaigns or missions which all use the same mod folder?

Thanks!

Conversely, to talk about poverty and inequality, to draw attention to the reality that discrimination and injustice are still facts of life, is to commit the sin of political correctness. Anti-PC has become the latest cover for creeps. It is a godsend for every curmudgeon and crank, from fascists to the merely smug."

I know you can switch the mainhall but I'm not sure about the rest of the interface art...I'd really like to know this myself so we can use the appropriate interface art for AoA in BP Standalone.

Its not currently possible, though I've heard rumors of The E working to implement such a system.
Cutscene Upgrade Project - Mainhall Remakes - Between the Ashes
Youtube Channel - P3D Model Box
Between the Ashes is looking for committed testers, PM me for details.
Freespace Upgrade Project See what's happening.

Yep, it's something I'm working on.

Well, that's a pain. Thanks for the answer, though.
