# Creating Settings templates

## Switching Settings Templates

The Settings template selection window appears in two cases:

* On the first launch of the game.
* When selecting it in the **GAME** OPTIONS.

## Location and structure of Settings Templates

Settings templates are located in the directory: `main\global\interface\profiles`.\
Each template contains a set of options that can partially or fully override the current settings stored in `.opt` files.

## &#x20;Icons for Setting templates

For each settings template, you can set icons for two states:

* **normal** — the state when the user isn’t interacting with the icon;
* **selected** — the state when the template is chosen.

For example, for the **default** template, the icons are located in the following paths:

* `main\global\interface\profiles\default\icon.tga` — for the normal state
* `main\global\interface\profiles\default\icon_selected.tga` — for the selected state

## Connecting Additional Packages

Settings templates can also be used to connect additional packages. \
To ensure that specific packages are connected when selecting a template, they need to be specified in the configuration file: `main\global\interface\options_template_packages.set`.

```plaintext
{
    mow_classic
    {
        "40e43b15-5df8-4623-9b87-dc4eb366961b"
    }
}
```

This links the **mow\_classic** template to the package with ID `"40e43b15-5df8-4623-9b87-dc4eb366961b"`.

</details>

## Localization

The texts related to the localization of the settings template selection window are located in files like:

`main\<language>\interface\text\profiles.lng`.

This file needs to be configured to ensure that the settings template selection window displays the texts in the desired language.
