What is the loading button called in the gfx dir?
For example, "BUT2-" is quit and "BUT3-" is start. I've tried "BUT1-" but it doesn't work.

Aren't they in bitmaps? You can look into the graphics directory and view them, they should say what they are in the image.

The reason I asked is because the new loading buttons I am implementing in my DMOD didn't show up. I experimented with the start and quit buttons and they show up when start was named BUT3- and quit was named BUT2- in my graphics folder, but I cannot find the names I should use for the load buttons.
I looked around in START.C and couldn't find anything to help me. I also had a poke around DINK.INI and it says the load button is supposed to be BUT1- but I have already tried that thrice!
I know this is a n00b question, but please help!
Your previous posts were not very helpful as I had already tried every number for the load button and my graphics were all dink-palette BMPs!
But thanks anyway!

Don't forget the -01 at the end. It should be "BUT9-01".

I shortened it to BUTX- numbers 'cause you have to include the second pic for the animation. I tried BUT9-.

The skeleton's (if thats what your using) title buttons are named BUT1 BUT3 BUT7 and BUT9. Did you mess around with start.C, the graphics or the INI file?

I replaced the button graphics, and I tried every number in BUTX- for the buttons, and BUT3- shows START, BUT-2 shows QUIT, and I'm asking you what load is.

When I put in 1,4,5,6,7,8,9 or 0 in place of the X in BUTX- for the continue button it still doesn't show up in the title screen!
I don't know wtf has happened, but for some ridiculous reason only when I put in BUT3- for start and BUT2- for quit do those buttons show up. I am quite tired of repeating my question over and over again, and people keep saying that I should put BUT9- for the continue button!

Maybe you are doing something wrong

But seriously ( ), if only BUT3 and BUT2 work that's strange because in the dink/graphics dir they're BUT1, BUT3, BUT7 and BUT9 - you can check that by looking at the undir.ff'ed version of it which is downloadable here at TDN. If you're using a modified version of Dink.ini, you should check which files of BUTX it loads, perhaps it doesn't even load the Continue button.

According to the dink.ini, it should be BUT1-. That is correct as when I rename the continue buttons to BUT1- the sprite shows up in WinDinkEdit. Something else must be happening here.
EDIT
And I hust found out what. The START.C wasn't loading the correct sequence. Sorry about all the fuss and bother.
