When you add tips to the panel help, you can only add tips and hints to the tips category or videos to the tutorial category. How can I add more categories there? I know it is possible, I saw some maps doing this (was not able to open them in the editor, though)
You can add an item to the tutorial category without adding a video, click on the video parameter and then go to custom value and set it to "". That lets you basically use the tutorial tab as a second tips tab. You can rename either tab in the text editor. AFAIK it's not possible to add additional "tip" tags, the only other kinds of tabs you can add to the help screen are unit ones (see the Unit Glossary field for the unit.)
Okay, thanks. Renaming Tips and Tutorials works quite well with the text editor. But how do you add categories for units? Did you add custom races for them? I did not find the values for the races in the text editor, and changing the glossary category seemed to have no effect (creating a new race as well, even if the unit belongs to a new race, it is still shown for its original race in the tips)
€ nvm, found the tooltip, just overlooked it. Now I just have to find out, how to add a second category for a race.
€ ok, well, I seem to be too stupid for this. I can only add a new unit category, when another one is full. In this case the title of the new one is something like "Ui/HelpMenuDialogT..." and I cannot find this string in the text editor. Also I have no idea how to place units in the 2nd category of a race, when 1 category is not full.
Change the units glossary category seems to have no effect at all.
€€ okay, now I got it, it seems. There has to be an existing string named
then you can use (your glossary category string) for your units to let them show up in that specific category. How to add a permanent text for this? Right now, I need to have some kind of link for this anywhere (use this specific text link as a tooltip or whatever), it gets deleted if I remove the reference; even though, the text is used in the help menu category. Bug or feature?

Well, I guess I will use some dummy buttons :P
Thanks for your help.
