Outpost 2 File Resource Editing

Files and executables contained with Outpost 2 can be viewed, edited, and recompiled using Resource Hacker, developed by Angus Johnson. Resource Hacker can also create, edit and compile resource script files (.rc) resource files (.res). For new scenarios, resource script files and resource files are often created, edited, and compiled using Visual Studio 2015.

For more information on resource script files, resource files, and how they are used to create custom dialog boxes for mission briefings, see the Outpost 2 SDK Text Dialog Box Page.
