Add a file called Dmod.diz in your D-Mod directory. Now, it needs to have a certain format. The first line is the line that will appear in the drop down box. The first, second and third line will appear in the main part of the About box. Any other lines will appear as the description/info. Blank lines are okay.

Look at start.c - one of the files you need to copy by default to create a D-Mod. There is specifies the graphics used for the buttons and the scripts attached to them that makes the buttons work. Basically, when you launch Dink or a D-Mod, it looks here and executes the code and so, it'll create the buttons and the like. For example, in the create_sprite(); code you can find what graphics are used and by changing the numbers, you can change the buttons.

thanks, but what would i do if i wanted to change the screen at the start from the sign, to my own bmp, what would i save the bmp as and where, also what would i put in for numbers in the create_sprite() thingy.

If you are using a skeleton look for the .bmp called TITLE-01.bmp in the graphics folder. replace it with your own 600*480 .bmp and name it TITLE-01.bmp

thanks, got it to work. at first i hadnt a clue what a skeleton was, but i saw one today and downloaded it, thanks
