(these labels do not come from the .upc data)

It almost seems like the Dev's were trying to help steer us in the right direction |
For anyone that has probably looked under the hood of this game and has run across the menu.txt file listing most game text. You have seen the entries for the medals in the 5000's numbered area. The only place these descriptions are used are within the Captain's Award Box when you mouse over the medals. The rest of the descriptions come out of the medals.upc file. I do think the dev's tried to help with the authentic medal images since they are found in the Data\Menu\Gui\Medals folder but as far as any bread crumbs they left behind, their long gone!!!
I suppose I could have the mod released soon; finish a readme and make a version for TMO, RFB, and stock. The menu_1024_768.ini file will have to be different for each one to make it compatible. One note, the mod will have to be installed in port, to not have an already started patrol CTD. That's the problem with messing around with the .UPC files, they are looked at with every saved game and it doesn't like changes in mid stream.
