Hello Jaggedmaster007 and welcome to the forum,

You surely mean the B_MAP.pcx file in \Data\Interface folder.

You can use this as base:

Just create a folder with the name: interface in the UB \Data directory. In this interface folder you put in your edited B_MAP.pcx file.

Btw you can extract content of .slf files with following tools for example:

Enjoy modding!

I am having a problem where the interface from a mod is not used. I have put it in the Data1.13 Interface as well as Data and even in UB. The maps load fine and it plays the same but the Interface.SLF seems to override it. I tried putting into the interface.slf file however the system did not take kindly to that. So what causes the slf to override interface, map and tile sets. I have come across all three of those. The interface one is the most aggravating as it seems so simple and it is coming from an existing mod. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

There are several map files depending on game resolution. For 1024x768 and higher the file B_map_1024x768.pcx is used.
