+With the newest PuP-Pack Editor, you can START the PuP-Pack and FIRE any trigger right from the Editor without the need of a table running. This allows you to manage and test your PuP-Pack first before even starting any table code (PUPEvent) or pupcapture (rom based tables). Keep in mind, this only tests the PuP-Pack… not the communication from the table or pupcapture
+<font inherit/inherit;;#27ae60;;inherit>**Note: PuP-Packs should avoid using PuP displays 5-10 as they are designed for Popper FrontEnd. You should use pup 11-19 with custompos for additional pupdisplays.**</font>

 =====   =====
+===== PuPPack Screen Terminology: =====
+**Show**\\
+This will use whatever settings are set for this screen’s “default” settings.
+**ForceON**\\
+Forces the window to be the Top most window, and it stays on. A video is always going to be playing in this mode. When a new video starts or the current video restarts, the ForceON action happens and will force the window to be the Top window again.
+**ForcePoP**\\
+Similar to ForceOn, except the vlc window opens and closes with each video played
+**ForceBack**\\
+Keeps the video window always open, but under the other PuP screens. This can cause any PuP screen with this setting to get pushed behind your game window.
+**ForcePopBack**\\
+Similar to ForceBack, except the vlc window opens and closes with each video played
+**CustomPos**\\
+First number is always the screen. 1,<font inherit/inherit;;#e74c3c;;inherit>22.5</font>,<font inherit/inherit;;#2980b9;;inherit>45.3</font>,<font inherit/inherit;;#27ae60;;inherit>55.1</font>,<font inherit/inherit;;#8e44ad;;inherit>54.7</font> screen,xpos,ypos,width,height
+====== Special Function Playlists ======
+Theres a few 'special' playlists that do things when you play something from them. Create the playlists (sub-folders) with the exact spelling and they will work once media is played.
+**PUPOverlays**  you put 32bit pngs in there and when you play them it will set them as current overlay frame.
+**PUPFrames**  you put 32bit pngs in there and when you play them it will set the background png (good for performance)
+**PUPAlphas**  you put 32bit pngs in there and when you play them it will set them as current overlay frame with alpha blending (performance, v1.4.5+)
+**PuPShapes **  you put 24bit bmps files in there and the pixel color (0,0) will be used as a mask to make a see=through shape. See twister puppack for example.
+These will usually be setup as a trigger with D0 (zero) so that on startup the frame is setup via the puppack.
+====== Media for PuP-Packs ======
+You should stick with 'normalized' media file format.  MP4 files 1920x1080 30fps. Its important for file size and stability that all video media doesn't change fps or resolutions during play.
+The best solution is to run your pack through the pupStandardAllMedia_1080p_replaces.bat found here: https://nailbuster.com/uploads/PuPStandard_or_Resize.zip
+Read the readme.txt in root.
