New page

The '''Civ4MainMenus''' file controls the audio and visual elements of the main menu screen (used to configure a new game, load a save, view the Hall of Fame, etc.).

All tags must be opened and closed; the first is the "open", the second the "close" tag. If nothing goes inside a "list tag", then it should just be the opening tag with a "/" before the closing bracket. The following tables contain all available tags, as well as their purpose and accepted values.

==Tags==
===Text===

{| border="1" style="text-align:left" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"
|-
! style="background:#efefef;" | Tag Name
! style="background:#efefef;" | Description
|-
!Type
|This is the name of the main menu type, prefixed by MAIN_MENU_. The standard choices are CLASSICAL, VANILLA, WARLORDS, OR BEYOND_SWORD. These refer to the four things listed under the Options menu in-game for the main menu style.
|-
!Description
|This is just a simple phrase explaining the above tag (e.g. BTS Classical, Civilization IV, etc.).
|-
!Scene
|This contains a tag which refers to an entry in the Civ4ArtDefines_Interface file, declaring the path to the main menu background file.
|-
!SceneNoShader
|This contains the same text as the Scene tag listed above.
|-
!Soundtrack
|This declares a tag, referring to an entry in the Audio2DScripts file, which specifies the background music. For example, the MAIN_MENU_VANILLA main menu type has the "Baba Yetu" soundtrack.
|-
!Loading
|This also refers to an entry in the Civ4ArtDefines_Interface file. It defines the path to the background file used when loading a saved game.
|-
!LoadingSlideshow
|Like the tag above, this declares the tag used to find the path to the loading screen's background slideshow file.
|-
|}

==Example==

In the following example of code, please note that there is a specific order of all of the tags. You ''must'' list the tags in this order for the game to properly interpret your file.

<MainMenus>
<MainMenu>
<Type>MAIN_MENU_CLASSICAL</Type>
<Description>BTS Classical</Description>
<Scene>MAINMENU_SCENE_CLASSICAL</Scene>
<SceneNoShader>MAINMENU_SCENE_CLASSICAL</SceneNoShader>
<Soundtrack>AS2D_OPENING_MENU</Soundtrack>
<Loading>MAINMENU_LOAD_CLASSICAL</Loading>
<LoadingSlideshow>MAINMENU_SLIDESHOW_LOAD_CLASSICAL</LoadingSlideshow>
</MainMenu>
</MainMenus>
