I believe you can find this info in the *.arena file under “briefing”.

In \scripts

When you not sure where to find a file or when you searching examples you should unzip the pak0.pk3 (this includes all stuff you need for etmain) and then search the entire folder with the unzipped files for specific keywords. Briefings, scripts etc. are stored in plain text files. E.g. searching for the string “The Axis High” (which is part of the text from your screenshot) led me to the files \scripts\battery.arena and \scripts\centraleurope.campaign. And the text from your screenshot is actually defined with the “description” variable inside the file \scripts\centraleurope.campaign.

Why do you all unzip your Pak0? I just told my computer to always open them with WinRar and it works great.

I use WinZip and there you can’t perform a search within a zip-file. Additionally I want to browse the textures etc. with PaintShop, so I need to extract everything.

Heh, when I want to see a texture in the .pk3 I double click it, and there it appears in PSP. Same with any other file, it makes a temp copy in your windows/temp directory and then opens it with the appropriate program. It lets you save changes and have them rezipped into it too.

You know the “Browse New Folder” function of Paint Shop Pro?

Its good practice to unzip the pak0 file for development reasons. GTK Radiant does not not load models directly from the pak files and needs them expanded out.
