Any larger pics?

no that was the one that was next to the 'Download 4.0' thing. i thought it would be like that... i guess it's the skin so how do i edit the skin?
| |
Well, I don't think saying "its all weird" is enough for us to discern any problems and be able to help you.

First there will be a small window saying "Connecting to blah." Afterwards the main Dream Seeker window will come up. Uknown Person's game has a custom interface(awesome, by the way) that makes it different than all the others.

The skin really should be the department of the game designer. If the game doesn't come with a skin - mostly because its a pre-4.0 game that hasn't added one yet, then it will probably look more like:

File > New > DMF (DM Interface) File
Learn how to use it first though: http://members.byond.com/ DreamMakers?command=view_post&post=33352 | |
Create a new Interface File, and make new windows. Read Lummox Jr's Tutorial And also, read the Skin Reference. Hope that helps.

Oh right, in that case, wouldn't modifying the default skin work? >_>
Er by default, which they renamed now, I mean the option in Options and Messages > Client > Edit Skin | |

Is the image. Also for the record 4.0 was released with a default skin that looks close to 3.5 so users playing 3.5 games will still be able to play some what without to many issues iv noticed that custom client size no longer seems to work for example. world view="15x10" This has screwed me over with some of my games so im a bit unpleased with that but im hoping that after the beta release is over the issue will be fixed as of now the map stays a set size blah... Also you will notice this default skin will always be used for any game not running a dmf skin or anything that was compiled with 3.5... If however a default skin is placed with the compile of a game the default skin will no longer be used an the dmf that was compiled with the game will take over an will remove the option of using the default skin. Hope this helps. | |
