Quick question re menu.txt

[shamrock]

Is "menu.txt" one of those files like "city.gif" that only works in the root folder, i.e. it is ignored when in the scenario folder?

Thanks in advance.

No.

Because I didn't check and assumed it was the same as 'Game' or 'Labels'. Sorry.

Okay, then, why do the modifications I make to the menu.txt in the scenario folder not affect the menu options in the game, but when I make the same modifications to the menu.txt in the civII root folder, then the changes show up?

[shamrock]

So am I correct that menu.txt is like city.gif or am I doing something wrong?

I surprised it worked when you put it in the root directory, because I`ve tried that and had absolutely no luck with it whatsoever.

Unlike other files, in order to realize the changes, I had to restart Civ as opposed to just loading up a saved game, if that means anything.
