How Do I Operate TA:Mutation?
The Menus
The Tabs
The tabs control which items you will have active when you launch TA.
Total Conversions:
This tab contains a list of TC's you can choose from to be active when you launch TA.
You can only have one TC selected at any time.
Mutators:
This tab contains a list of Mutators you can choose from to be active when you launch TA.
You can have up to 32 active Mutators selected at any time, but it is your responsibility to select Mutators that would not conflict with each other. TA:M will not give you a warning because it does not analyze the files you have chosen.
AIs:
This tab contains a list of AI's you can choose from to be active when you launch TA.
You can only have one AI selected at any time.
Units, Etc. (.ufo):
This tab contains a list of 3rd party UFO files you can choose from to be active when you launch TA.
The tab is divided into two parts. A left side, and a right side.
The left side is a list of installed UFO Packs.
The right side is a list of the installed UFO Files themselves.
Since UFO Packs are just lists of UFO Files, selecting a UFO Pack (left side) will automatically select all the UFO Files (right side) in its list. Similarly, selecting all the UFO Files on the right side that belong to a particular UFO Pack will automatically select that Pack.
You'll get the idea when you play around with it.
