please help, i am a noob at making dmods, and i want to know how i can make the title page, and how i can end the dmod
I nned help making the title page and ending my dmod
The Title page is simple - just open these folders:"DinkMasterFolder" --> "&DmodName" --> "Graphics" --> TITLE-01.BMP
Now edit the BMP to whatever you want!

Buttons and other stuff on that page is done in start.c.
What do you mean by how to end? How to exit the game?
Use kill_game() to exit, or restart_game() to go to the title screen.

I did that, i changed the tilte in photoshop to what I wanted, but it still says "title goes here" whenever i open up the dmod to play it, or in winfdinkedit
looks like you changed the wrong one - make sure it is in the directory of YOUR dmod err unless you didn't press save after
yes, it was my dmod, and i did press save
Hmm, make sure that you replaced the default title screen (Dink Smallwood\YOURDMOD\graphics\title-01.bmp) with the new title screen. You might have accidentally saved the new title screen somewhere else, or in a different format than .bmp.
As long as the default title screen (the "your title goes here" thing) is NOT found in the graphics folder, there's no way it can show up when you play the dmod.

but dont change the file name from title-01.bmp - it has to read and replace that file
I will try to check if i accidentaly saved it as a new title screen, and i will delete the old on that says "title goes here"
Deleting the old one isn't much use, it has to be replaced. If you delete it without replacing you'll probably end up with no title screen at all.
Just check the name and location again and make sure that the title screen is indeed a .bmp file. (And if it isn't 8-bits you'll also have to use true-color mode when you play your DMOD as well!)
