# Important Modding Notes
##################################
Custom implementations of frontendgamesetupview.gui now requires implementation of the random nation button previously in gamesetup_pick_random_country_window.gui
Carriers in history files should not have air wings defined. These are now defined in the new air OOBs.
peace_summary_popup_window in popupwindow.gui has changed and needs to be updated to fit the new template
common\ai_peace folder no longer exists. It totally reworked and now part of the common\peace_conference folder. Any AI logic around peace conferences will need reworking.
Some GFX in the officer corps window has been relocated, and will require updating for custom implementations
Battle Plan names are added in the names\00_names.txt file.
GFX for aircraft are now defined in the same way as GFX for tanks in NSB.
