    I was aware of this file already, but never saw the need to edit it. Maybe someone can prove me wrong but right now I have enough work already without trying to move interface/menu buttons around :)

    True, it's not an enormous thing, but it could prove useful for relatively minor things. I'm mainly amazed that practically no one seems to have known about it when it's been sitting here this whole time.

    It can be a bit complex at first, but it does work - I've used it as part of ME:TW for ages. One example of a potentially useful thing you can do with it is to 'disable' the ability to select certain factions in custom battles. I say 'disable' because I haven't actually found that you can truly do this, but by making the buttons for the factions you don't want to show up be of size 0x0, you get that effect

    Knew it too for ages. I plan to use it to disable honour/weapon/armour upgrades for MP games. And you can also add images to the background so that each submenu has a different background, which means that you can make some very neat interfaces if the background "interacts" with the background behind it.

    Could somebody give a short tutorial/walkthrough about this subject?
    I'd like to change, at least, two aspects:
    - Eliminate buttons for non-used factions in custom battles (MP also?).
    - Include descriptions for provincial campaigns (is it possible?).

    I've been regarding the file but it is a little...
